We aim to have more constructive conversations about social justice, activism and change-making.
Founded in 2016, Not a Saviour was initially a podcast and advocacy campaign that aimed to raise awareness about the negative impacts that voluntourism can have on local communities. Since then, Not a Saviour has broadened its scope, looking at what it means to be a change-maker in an increasingly complex world. We interview young activists about the causes they care about and their successes and mistakes in pursuing them.
