Welcome to the first Episode!
This week, we'll be hearing from Mikkel Juel Iversen who explains how a nice gesture at Christmas, exploded into a complex operation to support those in a state of homelessness during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
We'll hear about how his thinking has been challenged and changed through his interaction with friends he has made on the street through his work, as he has come to know the sustaining importance of human connection.
Also, this week, Ross Plowman tells us how UOS has changed his view of 'homelessness', leading him and a couple friends to take the Under One Sky model up to Durham University, in the hope of spreading the mission of Under One Sky to other Universities.
It's an easy and great listen full of stories and astute reflections - a great introduction for this podcast that aimed at changing the narrative surrounding Homelessness.
The Under One Sky podcast attempts to paint a picture of homelessness, as a story, that is unique, dynamic and complex.
Each episode will draw on a guest's expertise and experience to bring to light a different lens to view homelessness, to give us as listeners a fuller understanding of homelessness that avoids careless speculation and stereotyping.
This is podcast that first recognises the worth and value of the people that find themselves in a state of Homelessness. They are people like you and me, just the right things in their lives have gone wrong.
I hope you'll enjoy listening in!
