The WhyNot platform was established by the Y in 2018 as a space for young people to have their voices heard by publishing their opinions, questions, ideas and stories. The platform aims to stimulate debate and prompt conversations about the issues that matter to you without censorship or agenda as an authentic representation of the voices of young people.
It’s a platform to amplify our voices, support and learn from each other, and resist stereotypes. We have opinions just like everyone else – and we deserve to be heard.
