#14 Pedram Aflatuni: Changing the hearts of people. (part 1)
ABOUT THE EPISODE: I had to the chance to talk to Pedram Aflatuni, who with his colleagues has created a communal method that answers one of Finland’s biggest questions: how can we encourage young people’s participation and prevent societal polarisation?
They combine media, pedagogy and peace work in their project, called Gutsy Go. They create volunteering or service-based project in schools. So you can say that this is comprehensive school education program that is documented into videos. By screening the videos locally and sharing on social media they do a great job inspiring the whole country.
They improve the resilience and cooperative skills of their participants, which are crucial when facing future challenges.
In the first part of our conversation we talked about how this all started, how the narrative about young people can be changed and also about their first experiences about the power of solidarity in engaging young people.
ABOUT OUR GUEST: Pedram Aflatuni is an educator, cinematographer and editor. He has developed the method since 2016 and has been educating already over 400 coaches in Finland and baltic area. He’s responsible of educating the method to the coaches and mainly in charge of Gutsy Go’s published media in different platforms. He has directed dozens of youngsters Gutsy Go projects and their video productions. In the year 2021 Pedram won the State Award for Public Information as a part of the Gutsy Go developing team.
