About Us

The Platform is a blog providing unique and individual views from a variety of writers on current affairs, with each piece offering cultural commentary and challenging opinions from a range of spectrums.

Led solely by young people, The Platform is an open space for debate and discussion, as well as for constructively engaging with issues in an environment of mutual understanding.

Articles come from leading academics, specialists, journalists, and politicians, along with insightful contributions from young up-and-coming writers, generating an exchange of vibrant ideas.

Furthermore, The Platform is a blog with a difference. Not merely a forum for commentary, it is led by young people who aim to present a visionary objective and direction; one that seeks to assess the present and shape the future by espousing progression.

The aims of The Platform are:

  • To promote positive change in Britain through constructive debate
  • To provide an alternative narrative on current affairs and challenge stereotypes
  • To give a voice to young people and the wider community by creating a platform for proactive and creative discourse
  • Visionary and engaging articles are posted regularly from individuals throughout the UK and abroad. These will facilitate an engagement with the wider world by helping to encourage and generate thought-provoking views and opinions on the pertinent issues of the day.
