  • The Role of Cryptocurrency in Social Change

    Cryptocurrencies have come a long way from their relatively obscure origins, and while the mainstream once disdained these decentralised digital currencies as tools for criminals, the industry has made significant progress in establishing itself as a legitimate and (potentially) world-changing space.

  • Jaydan Rufus Talks Youth Parliament, Disability Advocacy, the NDIS and More | Changemaker Chat
    Today, we’re launching a brand new series at the Humanitarian Changemakers Network that’s all about talking to the people creating social impact in their communities.  It’s called Changemaker Chat, and it’s our opportunity to dive deep into the issues affecting you, and the solutions you’re pursuing.
    Jaydan Rufus is the Member for Capalaba of the YCMA Queensland Youth Parliament and a disability advocate.  We spoke about Youth Parliament and some major developments in the NDIS a couple of weeks ago, but started by talking about Jaydan’s volunteering.

  • Driving systemic changes to Australia's (in)justice system

    Australia's justice system is far from just. With children as young as 10 being locked up, and 5 Indigenous Australians dying in policy custody in the last 5 weeks, it's a human rights crisis we need to talk about- and fix. In this episode, Tiyana dives into the key issues with Australia's justice system and how they unfairly target/affect our Indigenous communities, and how changemakers can demand solutions that will drive systemic change on this issue.

  • It's a CONSPIRA-SEA: why oceans matter for social change

    We are talking about something a little different in this episode: the OCEAN. We don't often think about the oceans when we think about social change, but the oceans are an incredibly important part of not only our natural world, but our social world, and thus, we can't talk about positive social change without talking about positive changes for the ocean and the way we interact with ocean ecosystems.
