The Importance of Engaging With a Wide Variety of People With Jordan Smallin
Jordan Smallin is a former GB bobsleigh athlete and boxer. Jordan graduated from Loughborough University in 2018 with a degree in Sports Science. Whilst there he started working as Security on the doors of the students union and in some of London's clubs and hotels. Jordan is also a campaigner on social justice issues such as Consent, Loneliness in Society and Black Lives Matter.
During this podcast you can listen to Jordan talk about his journey from being a talented young science student to becoming a GB bobsleigh athlete, explain how he used this experience to inspire school students to pursue their dreams, and also how his security work, perhaps surprisingly, has helped him develop his perspectives on social justice. Finally, Jordan shares some reflections on lockdown, his love of nature and some tips on how to engage a more diverse range of students and educators into our sustainable schools work and London Climate Action Week.
