  • Chris Parkes | Part II: The Institutional Racism

    The second part of an extraordinary conversation with Chris.  We talked about Chris's career, his passion about photography, but we also talked about Apartheid or the fact that we have likely been helping the racial discrimination, by institutionalizing racism. Chris opened up his views about the world, his experiences in several African countries, but as well, how much he changed through this process and what does that mean for his life and future. Listening to this podcast is not just an inspiration but, as well, a deep learning about human beings and human behaviours

  • Agne Nainyte | Experteering rather than volunteering

    Today we talked with Agne about her time in the rural Uganda, during her career-break. Interesting conversation about something that we usually know as volunteering, but that she clearly describes as experteering, as she believes she brought expertise in a specific area, rather than just come and make work in random areas, without real knowledge on that. We debated a lot of things regarding sustainability of the local businesses supported by NGOs.  Not least important, we talked about her experience of living in rural Uganda for 2 months, and what differences she faced on her day-to-day experiences.

  • Rose Shuman | Technology impacts to the society

    What a great time we just had with Rose over a podcast.  Rose just walked us through the process of coming up with the idea to the "Question Box". She also shared the experiences and learnings that she and her partner took out of this project, that are still helping them today during projects they get involved. Rose collaborates with United Nations, Food Bank or Unicef, bringing all her knowledge and experience and helping introducing technologies as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence or Big Data. We also discussed some sociological aspects of the technology impact over the next 10 years, and what her views on that.

  • Hugo Amaral | Racket for a smile

    We just spent a fantastic 30 minutes talking with Hugo about the Raqueta Por Um Sorriso project, or in English, Racket for a Smile. What an experience to learn how did Hugo start, and to get to know the stories behind the time he drove to Bissau, or the award in Barcelona for his project. This project brings tennis rackets to marginalized schools, and with that, helps children to practise sports from a young age.
