Change of Perspective

Giving a voice to those who are often silenced, Change of Perspective challenges European supremacy to dismantle racism, power structures, and social injustice.

In this podcast, we will discuss racism, eurocentrism, volunteering, white saviorism, paternalism, and colonialism. Through these topics, we explore how power structures, social injustice, and European supremacy continue to shape our world, amplifying the voices of those directly affected and challenging the status quo.

Through six thought-provoking episodes, this podcast explores key issues that shape our society, amplifying the voices of those directly affected. Each episode sheds light on different aspects of systemic inequality, encouraging listeners to reflect, learn, and take action.

Join us in questioning the status quo and embracing new perspectives. It’s time to listen, learn, and take action.
