Seventh Edition

Borders, Nations, and Belonging

Welcome to the seventh edition of Global Voice Journal – a continuation of the journey, bringing fresh perspectives and student voices to one of today’s most pressing issues.

Welcome to Our Seventh Edition

This edition of Global Voice Journal explores power, politics, and people, from citizens’ assemblies that promise to widen political listening to residents deciding how public money is spent. Contributors examine what meaningful youth and women’s representation requires, how journalism holds local government to account, why political influence must be made visible, and what peaceful protest can achieve once the crowd goes home. Through diverse perspectives and inspiring stories, we hope this edition encourages meaningful dialogue and offers readers new insights into today’s global challenges and opportunities.
