Voicing Quotations: The Founder Series: Recent Episodes
The Quotation Marks Project
The Quotation Marks Project's Voicing Quotations: The Founder Series is an interview podcast series that features founders of different start-up companies and youth-led organizations with inspiring advocacies. It focuses on their advocacies, reasons for starting their company/organization, and future plans.
It has been TQMPโs mission to create a platform to give non-prominent people a chance to be heard. Through this, several start-up youth-led organizations and companies will serve as inspirations for the youth.
Whenever you're ready to quote, these founders will voice out quotations!
"Awanggan is a youth-led advocacy campaign which aims to empower the youth since our main topic that we're tackling is about youth inferiority in the Philippine context. Since our context is in the Philippines, we want the name of the group to be something in the Filipino language. We tried to find a word that would truly embody our goal. Its meaning is having no limits or infinity, (and) that word is Awanggan. We would also want the youth to have no limits in voicing themselves."
โ Gabriel Lontoc, Project Manager of Awanggan โ
