Rise by SR Curio Podcast

In this gentle and reflective episode, Sofia invites you into the healing space of stillness—from a tent in the forest, with rain softly falling overhead. After two weekends offline, away from the noise of the world, she shares what stillness has taught her: about presence, nervous system healing, and reclaiming your peace.

You’ll learn why stillness is not emptiness, but a return to your center. You’ll also hear science-backed insights on how silence rewires the brain, boosts emotional clarity, and supports long-term healing.

Close your eyes. Take a breath. This is your sacred pause.

🌿 Topics covered:

• What stillness really means

• Science of silence and your brain

• Lessons from phone-free weekends

• A short breathing practice & reflection

💫 Includes: journal prompt + guided affirmation

How the Private Sector Can Turn the Tide on Youth Unemployment and Improve Financial and Digital Literacy

Introduction: A Bright Future Ahead for Papua New Guinea's Youth

Papua New Guinea is a country with immense potential, especially when it comes to its young population. With school leavers, tertiary graduates, and women from single income families making up a significant portion of the target market, it is crucial to address youth unemployment and improve financial and digital literacy. By empowering the next generation and providing them with the necessary skills and support, Papua New Guinea can unlock a brighter future for its youth.

Empowering the Next Generation: The Importance of Youth Employment and Financial Literacy

Youth employment is crucial for any nation's development, as it not only provides young people with financial stability, but it also allows them to gain valuable skills and experience. However, youth unemployment rates in Papua New Guinea have been alarmingly high in recent years. This calls for a concerted effort from both the government and the private sector to create opportunities for the young population.

Financial literacy is equally important, as it equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions. Many young people lack this knowledge, which can lead to poor financial management and limited economic opportunities. By improving financial literacy, Papua New Guinea can ensure that its young population has the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of the modern economy.

Cultivating a Spirit of Entrepreneurship: Encouraging Business Creation in Papua New Guinea

Entrepreneurship can play a pivotal role in reducing youth unemployment and fostering economic growth. By encouraging young people to explore entrepreneurial ventures, Papua New Guinea can create a culture of innovation and self-reliance. The private sector has a crucial role to play in promoting entrepreneurship by providing mentorship, access to capital, and business development opportunities.

Partnerships for Success: How the Private Sector Can Drive Change

The private sector can be a driving force in turning the tide on youth unemployment and improving financial and digital literacy. By forging partnerships with government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations, private companies can leverage their resources and expertise to create sustainable change. This can be done through initiatives such as internship programs, vocational training, and mentorship schemes.

Education as the Key: Equipping Youth with Essential Skills and Knowledge

Education plays a crucial role in equipping young people with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce. However, traditional education systems often fail to prepare students adequately for the demands of the modern job market. To bridge this gap, the private sector can collaborate with educational institutions to develop curriculum and training programs that are aligned with industry needs. This will ensure that young people are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the digital age.

Inspiring Innovators: Showcasing Success Stories in Youth Business Creation

One of the most effective ways to inspire young people is by showcasing success stories in youth business creation. By highlighting the achievements of young entrepreneurs, the private sector can demonstrate the tangible benefits of entrepreneurship and instill confidence in the next generation. This can be done through media campaigns, entrepreneurship awards, and networking events, which provide platforms for young entrepreneurs to share their stories and connect with potential investors.

On November 30th, 2020, SR Curio founder Sofia Ramoi attended the APEC Voices of the future 2020 Webinar as one of the Papua New Guinea delegates.

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a regional economic forum established in 1989 to leverage the growing interdependence of the Asia-Pacific.

Founded in 2007, the Voices of the Future program brings together young people with potential for leadership and making a difference in society, and exposes them to the real-life deal-making process of world leaders, inspiring them to do the same with their own ideas by attending the annual APEC Summit to share their  views on the APEC vision with APEC Leaders, Senior Officials, ABAC Members and  CEOs.  Watch here: https://youtu.be/eG9argbK64U Subscribe to our YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/channel/UCRhax_n3ckWaJ0_N00Fqrsg and Slack Community here: http://bit.ly/2JrBA3l
