Events – PODIUM

Podium Productions

What Are Podium Events?

‘Podium’ is a loose english translation of the term ‘minbar’. Traditionally the Prophet (PBUH) stood on the minbar to get the attention of the people in order to deliver an important message. However, in today’s society, it is very rare to find young Muslims who get the opportunity to have their voices heard on the minbar.

Podium Magazine aims to serve as this minbar to AMPLIFY the voices of those struggling to be heard and capture the wide variety of talents and voices of Muslim Youth in Australia.

Words Out Loud - Twins of Faith 2019

As Muslims, we are quite talented however these talents are usually hidden and never exposed. Words out loud is an event for young talent to showcase their superb talents, whether is be spoken word, quran recitation, poetry, rap or nasheed.

Unpacking the Christchurch Massacre - Community Forum

In the wake of the Christchurch massacre a conversation began that would ripple globally. A conversation that transcends the violence of the killer and the hate of those who armed him. A conversation about white supremacy and our very own racial warfare. A conversation about why the inevitable happened and why the next step is crucial for our survival.

It’s time we nuance our understanding and created platforms to continue these conversations.

Podium Volunteer Induction Day

This edition was put together in the aftermath of the horrific events of the Christchurch massacre on 15 March 2019. We could’nt possibly have published this edition without a dedication to our 51 brother and sisters in Christchurch and 160 in Mali who were brutally killed in cold blood.

Lets Talk About Love Conference

As Muslims living in the West, it’s challenging to find the right inspiration when it comes to love and relationships. It’s challenging to know our own boundaries, when the society around us reflects a very different story. It was time we gained confidence in our own convictions.

That’s why Podium collaborated with University Islamic Societies to organise a forum where we can discuss the issues that face our generation. Through interactive talks and workshops, Let’s Talk About Love conference addressed these challenges and more.

Sincerely Yours

A Sisters’ only event ‘Sincerely Yours,’ was where we’ll launched our ‘Love, Marriage and Relationships’ themed Edition 7! The evening ran like an open mic, but with a bit of a twist. Instead of just spoken word, the stage will be a place for people to share letters on the topic of the love, marriage and relationships.
