A proposito di questo titolo

 The Voices of Impact podcast is brought to you by a dedicated team of passionate students, based out of San Diego, California, USA, who engage in spirited discourse with fellow youth worldwide. We are the next generation, and the world will be ours, so we are taking the initiative to acquire wisdom from experts in a variety of fields to discover impactful solutions to help make the world a better place.

In each episode, we sit down with experts and inspect Planet Earth through the lens of the United Nations’ seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) for equitability and sustainability. Our intercontinental World Council of Youth selected twelve of the SDG’s, in order of relevance to them, for coverage in the first twelve episodes.

Each co-host, despite their young age, is supremely qualified in their own right. Shane Stamm’ler-Adamson, age-fifteen, was born in Canada and is a lifelong environmentalist. He has experience to share from the multitude of countries he has traveled to or even lived in. Twelve year-old Amulya Vakiti, volunteered charitably at soup kitchens and animal shelters while living in her homeland of Canada. Twelve year-old Isabella Wilches contributed to a foundation aimed at improving the education of students in Colombia. Kenneth Kim, a seventeen year-old, is a youth leader at the House of Korea, which aims to bring Korean culture to the United States. We are each so excited to share with you what we unearth in this series.

Be sure to tune in for all twelve episodes and make sure not to miss any valuable conversations or solutions we uncover.
