Advocacy, Asylum Seekers, Refugees and the Language we Use

10/21/2015

 
Todays' show was a revisit to an earlier show I did with Mount St Benedict students Future Problem Solving Team talking about the language used around Asylum Seekers and Refugees. Since seeing them they have been interviewed by UN Youth, they have presented their projected at the Beecroft Forum Dinner where they met Matt Tinkler CEO of Save the Children and Ben Doherty from the Guardian. They have so much to share and this interview gives a snapshot of their infectious passion. How do they keep their passion and do they have a self care routine to support themselves to maintain their dedication to advocacy?

The stigma around homelessness and Dying to Know Day

8/10/2015

 
The stigma around being homeless means that there is a large proportion of our society - some of the most vulnerable, who are not accessing vital medical services for fear of judgement.

Chris Clearly from StreetMed Incorporated, Rachel Worsley Medical Reporter for 6Minutes.com.au and 1 discussed what prejudices we have that we sometimes are not aware of and ow we can be the change we want to see.

Homeless Prevention Week, Refugees and Dry July

8/10/2015

 
A shorter show this week as I have taken out the What's On's - There were some good ones but time sensitive so no good for a delayed podcast :-)

Rights Talks and UTSpeaks

7/30/2015

 
This is a short snippet of the show that never made it on air! Technical issues :-(

Mens Health Week - MoMents in Time

How true - all those little moments add up to big moments, particularly if the little moments have not been ones that taught you how to deal with what you were feeling, the emotions that went unexpressed and unsupported. They can leave young men feeling vulnerable and unless we have learnt to see that vulnerability as a strength it can result in dangerous or unsociable behaviour that does them no favours whatsoever - as a young person or as an adult. Join me as I interview Dean Quirke a health and wellness educator.

Religion in Schools and the Human Rights Dinner 2015

6/25/2015

 
Looking back on today's show it was all about Freedom. Freedom of association, freedom of religion, freedom to choose and where those freedoms are taken away or clouded.

We covered:

Religious education in schools - to opt in or opt out? do we really have a choice?

and

Human Rights Dinner and the start of Human Rights Awareness week.

I did have lots of what's ons...but they seemed irrelevant to put in the podcast so it sounds like I end the show really abruptly! Perhaps it is better - short and to the point!

Equality and What's on!

6/6/2015

 
Equality was the topic of the day - I think this topic is bigger than big and actually the root of a great many illogical happenings in our world.  Here is how the thread came together from the news of the week...
  • Marriage equality - in the shape of the Irish vote for same sex marriage.
  • Relationship equality in the shape of the terrifying rise of awareness around domestic abuse.
  • Abuse of power is a lack of respect for the equality of all human beings - this can encompass the abuse by adults of children as seen in the investigations into the abuse of children in the Catholic church and other organisations.
  • Abuse of power and a flagrant disregard to equality has been seen in the unfolding FIFA corruption allegations.
