Listen to students

Do you know somebody that would make a great guest for my next podcast episode? Most likely, you do!

At StudentPulse, our partner schools collect thousands of student voices every day. From around the world, they are providing their feedback, telling their stories, and giving advice on everything from inclusion to improving courses and dealing with stress. We must help these students be heard and understood; they tell us what matters to them and how they cope.

But it's all anonymous, so I have launched a podcast allowing me to talk directly to students and hear their stories straight from them! It's a privileged position to listen to these personal stories, so I will do my best to make this experience as comfortable as possible for the students and ensure their voices are heard!

I am looking for inspiration from students or dropouts who can share their stories through the podcast. This would allow me to bring these experiences to life and give them a voice.

Suggested topics for future episodes of the podcast:

• Why did you leave education?
• What issues do students face at your school?
• How can the school improve its support for students with mental health issues?
• How can I juggle the pressures of college with a job/family commitments?
• Do you struggle with your mental health and how do you cope?
• How have you used technology to support your mental health?
• How can schools improve inclusion for students from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds?
• What can be done to prevent bullying in school? and how did you handle it?
• Liberation, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (LEDI)

So please send me a quick note if you want to share your story! I will publish your name on the podcast page, so everyone will know who the contributor is! Also, if you know someone that might like to contribute, please forward this message to them!
