We Ain’t the Same is a podcast created by teens that explores the relationship between young people and police.
This podcast was created by young people working with the Trust for Developing Communities, a Brighton and Hove-based charity working for a healthier, more inclusive, resilient Brighton & Hove. The podcast was developed in partnership with Make (Good) Trouble, a social enterprise that works with young people to give them a voice through digital media.
