ABOUT THE EPISODE:  In the second part of our conversation Pedram Aflatuni shared how they work with volunteering projects in Finnish Schools. How integral part of the service project is discovering the real needs of people, and how they use social media and videos to highlight what they want to communicate. 

By communicating I don’t only mean sharing the project, but having real impact in society. He tells a story about how they started a dialogue in Finland about the care for the elderly. 

We talked about how to show in media people who are vulnerable, fragile situation in their lives, and he shared a concrete example, in which the project aimed to prevent bullying. This concrete example even became an education material for schools in Finland.
