Our Aims

Southern Voices’ aims are to:

  • Aspire young people, communities and institutions on tackling issues of global concern, social justice and equity
  • Build bridges and connections between the people of the South and North globally,as we believe that through working together we increase and consolidate our effectiveness.
  • Create channels and cultural media through which we encourage critical debate, dialogue and discussion among Southern people; and open up spaces where myths and stereotypes of the Global South can be challenged

South is used to refer to countries in the so-called ‘third world’ or ‘developing world’.  North refers to the industrialised world. As first used in the Brandt Report (1980).

A Little Bit About Us

Southern Voices is a network of people committed to bringing the knowledge and understanding of Southern* and Black* people to the global issues that are central to education and to living in the world today.

Formed in October 1990, and originally named the Southern Voices Project, it was the brainchild and inspiration of a group of post-graduate students from the various Manchester Universities and founded by them with the support of exiles, Diaspora and local British people.
