#AreYouListening?
It's National Youth Work Week and we have a bonus episode of Are You Listening? for you. Courtesy of former Podcast Crew member and contributor, Jord Hailwood (He/Him) explores how the podcast supported him on his journey.
On our podcast, he hosted conversations about Black History Month, Queerness in Heartstopper, and transitions in education and work. He did this with such poise and patience.
Jord says that, "Are You Listening? Is such a good gateway into social skills, presentation skills, and confidence. All skills are very universally transferable and can be applied to a lot of jobs or sectors."
We want to bring Are You Listening? back better than ever before but we need the support and funding.
Could you be the missing piece? Contact Ali.khan@oxfordshireyouth.org to register your interest in empowering young people's voices.
Jord has his own podcast, The Winning Side, which is an insightful podcast from the viewpoint of a black queer man.
He has interviewed many amazing people and he most recently had the opportunity to interview Jordan Stephens at the Cheltenham Literature Festival about his new book, Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs. Jord, we are so proud of the progress that you are making and will always champion what you do! If you haven't already, check out Jord's podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@jordhailwood

Are You Listening? All about education
Are You Listening? is back and our first episode of 2024 is
all about education. Love it or hate it, we have all had to go through it. This episode tackles a question many young people have asked throughout the generations, why is it a one-size-fits-all system?
Trigger warning: Mental health, Racism, death

This episode is brilliantly hosted by Hamzah (He/Him), alongside Syd (He/Him), T (She/Her) and Esah (He/Him), encapsulates a lot of the feelings of young people who have been or are going through the education system. The pressures are all expressed in this episode. If you can relate to what the podcast crew are saying, we would love to hear about your experiences too.
As Hamzah said in his closing address, we really want educators and the government to listen to this and hear what young people have to say. The UCL research showed a very clear relationship between academic pressure and mental ill health.

This isn’t a coincidence. We can all work together, educators, youth work practitioners, children’s workers, and governments to make sure that education isn’t resulting in a depletion of young people’s mental health.
