EP6: Resilience, Love & Re-humanisation with the Y7
Today I’m joined by three delegates of the Y7 – Davide Fanciulli, Sarah Rozon, and Loshini Subendran. We talk about their work as young leaders from G7 states, re-humanising society, and turning to love. It wouldn’t be “the aspect:” without a note on “everything showers” and a couple of existential crises thrown in.
the futures aspect:
EP5: Panic at the Disco, Pink Elephants & Pluralism with Nolita Mvunelo
Today I’m joined by Nolita Mvunelo, a Program Manager at the Club of Rome, who also co-leads the global youth engagement program (The 50 Percent). We talk about the importance of integrating multiple future visions & the views of half the world’s population, and we get critical when addressing the ‘pink elephant’ in the room. For good measure, Nolita throws in some juicy metaphors for life and we laugh through the panic (wisdom is shared, so listen up people).
the activism aspect:
EP4: Community, Change & Double Standards with Bas van Rossum
Today I’m joined by Bas van Rossum, the Youth President and elected Governing Board member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. We talk about the power of community action, the youth as agenda-setters, and the need for patience when it comes to change. I also uncover Bas’s strong dislike of chemistry and his life-long love of an atlas.
the climate tech aspect:
EP3: Sand Batteries, Start-Ups & Free Diving with Tommi Eronen
Today I’m joined by Tommi Eronen, the CEO and Co-Founder of Polar Night Energy, a Finland-based innovative company in the renewable energy sector. We get a little technical (buckle in!) and talk about the invention of the “sand battery”, building a start-up as a member of the youth, and Tommi shares his love for cycling and his insane hobby… ice swimming.
the activism aspect:
EP2: Harmony, Democracy & Getting Angry with the International Youth Think Tank
Today I’m joined by the IYTT’s Managing Director & Co-Founder Urban Strandberg, and three Youth Fellows, Mahek Bhatia, Michele Castrezzati & Philippine Dutailly. We talk about the accessibility of sustainable democracy, the IYTT’s global engagement, and why it’s so important to avoid being dull.
the education aspect:
EP1: Duties, Sidewalks & Diplomacy with Alessandro Reali
Today I’m joined by Alessandro Reali, friend and former President of Global Action Italy. We talk about sustainable education as a double-edged sword, the importance of communication in diplomacy, and unsurprisingly, a shared love of Italian things.
