Resume

Beneath Bias is a podcast focused on discussing current global challenges using news and current topics as a starting point for broader discussions. True to its name, it delves beneath dominant Western narratives and media biases to reveal debates that affect young people's lives worldwide and in Denmark. It seeks to engage young people alienated from the current global system and to empower them to take ownership of their journey to becoming an “innovator”. This series of 17 episodes combines personal stories, conversations with researchers, hosts from diverse backgrounds and interaction with the audience. Together, these elements will create a setting for informed debates to flourish, amplifying youth scientific voices. The objective of the overall podcast project is to inspire listeners to critically reflect on how each challenge connects to their practices and to motivate them to act as individuals and collectively. This is a podcast made by young people for young people.
