The Day Weekly Newsletter | 15 November
Happy Friday!
We’re thrilled to introduce Student Voices, a platform where students can share their perspectives on issues that matter most to them. Since the launch earlier this month,? we’ve seen powerful contributions from young voices across the globe.
Why Participate?
As one young contributor recently said: "The government needs to listen to children more. It’s our future and the world we have to live in."
Ready to get involved? You need to be a member of The Day to enter Student Voices. We are running a Black Friday offer of 10% off your subscription until November 29th.

What our happy subscribers say ??
"Making seeing more than one ‘side’ to a story a habit; making students speak up and comment or debate - there is always something in The Day for at least one student to be passionate about."

Video of the week
Is voodoo more than 'dark magic'?
Voodoo is experiencing something of a renaissance in New Orleans, US. In this video from BBC Global we meet voodoo priestess Manbo Jessyka and high priestess Eshé. They introduce us to the practice as a way of life, and as a means of connecting to ancestors through everyday rituals and spiritual reflection.
Debate this!
Experts claim social media is causing a mental illness epidemic. Some suggest the only vaccine might be a much older idea of childhood innocence. They hope that if children are kept away from the corrupting influences of modern media they will be healthier and happier, and might be able to build us a better future. Others believe if we raise our young people to be innocents, the world will eat them up and spit them out.
Do we need more innocence?
36% said yes ??We are incredibly lucky to live in an age where most children are not sent out into the fields or up chimneys. Instead, they are on the frontline of social media. We must strive to preserve them from the world’s horrors.
64% thought no ??The day will come when young people must face the evils of the world. It is better that they already have some exposure to it before that day arrives.
