Shift
Hosted by Collective Discovery · EN
Curious, bold and challenging, this podcast from Collective Discovery explores how shifts in relationships, power & resources can make the world a better place.
With insightful guests, we ask how larger systems that we are part of need to shift to address our collective challenges.
In our second series we speak with changemakers working at every level—from the grassroots to global movements.
These conversations are honest, inspiring and full of insight—exploring what drives changemakers, the obstacles they navigate, and what keeps them going.
Our first series, informed and inspired by our work with The Listening Fund, explores how youth organisations and funders can better listen to young people.
