Sorry we killed it

European Youth Forum

Sorry we killed it is a podcast recorded in Brussels, produced by the European Youth Forum and hosted by Priyanka Shankar from Are We Europe. We talk about issues affecting today’s young people in Europe, and beyond. We discuss algorithms, pandas, death and everything in between. We celebrate the dynamism of the young generation, far from the “lazy young people” clichés, and the way our personal behaviour and experience connect with a bigger ‘collective” and can have a positive impact on our community and our society.

Young people have more & more access to cheap flights, and opportunities to explore the world. Even evolving to challenges like visiting 30 countries by age 30. But with the growing urgency to save our planet and reach net-zero emissions, isn’t it hypocritical to prioritise our own experiences over our climate change concerns? Special guests: Johan Lolos, travel photographer and Kyrill Hartog, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Are We Europe Host: Priyanka Shankar. Executive producer: Toon Vos.

Special guests: Laura, Youth Advocate for Plan International and Nikita Sanaullah, Policy Officer at the European Youth Forum Host: Priyanka Shankar. Executive producer: Toon Vos.

Why are Millenials...?

Millennials are killing everything. Brands, culture, industries; we will stop at nothing. The media clearly wants to put the blame on young people for bringing change. Why are we such a controversial generation and do we really have a different perspective on life?
