About The Platform
About Us
The Platform is a comment site providing unique views from a variety of writers on current affairs, culture and beyond. It offers a range of challenging and alternative 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 constructive engagement 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 comment site with a difference. Not merely a forum for commentary, it is led by a youthful team that aims 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 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.
