At 21UP Movement, we strongly believe in the transformative power of dialogue and the importance of amplifying young voices. This belief came to life through the recent collaboration between 21UP Movement and PodXParty, where we organised a dynamic podcast panel at The Brickstone on Brixton Road. The 21UP Movement and PodXParty event aimed to foster open discussions with young people on various topics that shape their lives, while providing them with invaluable opportunities to express themselves.

The energy at The Brickstone was palpable as 21UP Movement brought together a diverse group of young individuals eager to share their thoughts and experiences. Our panel, comprised of passionate speakers, led discussions on a range of issues relevant to today’s youth. From mental health to career aspirations, 21UP Movement delved deep into the behaviours and motivations of young people, aiming to understand the complexities of their lived experiences.


We kicked off the conversation with thought-provoking questions for our panellists, each offering unique perspectives. The dialogue was both rich and insightful, but at 21UP Movement, we wanted to ensure that all voices were heard. After the panel, we opened the floor to the audience, allowing them to engage, ask questions, and share their insights. This interactive format was designed to empower young people and provide a supportive space for their voices to be expressed.



Raising Awareness of Available Services with 21UP Movement and PodXParty


A key objective of the 21UP Movement and PodXParty event was to raise awareness among young people about the many services available to them within their communities. At 21UP Movement, we recognise that many young individuals are unaware of the resources at their disposal, whether they are mental health services, educational programmes, or career guidance. By connecting them to these services, we hope to empower young people to take control of their futures and make informed decisions.


Opportunities for Growth with 21UP Movement


In addition to fostering meaningful conversations, 21UP Movement was delighted to provide attendees with performance and public speaking opportunities. We understand that giving young people platforms to showcase their talents is vital for their personal and professional development. By encouraging them to step outside of their comfort zones, 21UP Movement seeks to build their confidence and communication skills—both crucial attributes in today’s world.


Celebrating Diversity and Networking


For years, 21UP Movement has been dedicated to collaborating with organisations across South London to create spaces where young people can connect, learn, and appreciate different cultures. The partnership between 21UP Movement and PodXParty marked a significant milestone in this ongoing effort. The event brought together individuals from varied backgrounds, fostering understanding and an appreciation for the rich diversity of our community. By encouraging networking, 21UP Movement hopes to facilitate connections that lead to future collaborations and friendships.


Looking Ahead


The podcast panel at the Brickstone was just the beginning of 21UP Movement’s journey to engage young people in meaningful and impactful ways. As we move forward, 21UP Movement remains committed to providing even more opportunities for young voices to be heard and celebrated throughout South London and beyond.


We extend our heartfelt thanks to PodXParty for their collaboration and to all the young people who took part in the event. Your voices are essential, and together with 21UP Movement, we can build a future where every young person feels valued and empowered.

Stay tuned for more exciting events and initiatives from 21UP Movement as we continue to uplift and inspire the next generation!
