HumanKind

With this podcast we wish to initiate conversations and invite our listeners to be co-writers of new empowering stories for HUMANKIND;

How can we create inclusive, empowered and resilient communities, and what perspectives, practices and processes will take us, as individuals and also collectively, towards - rather than away from, a felt sense of intrinsic belonging, empowered participation and transformation - caring for the whole?

The podcast is initiated as an outreach activity for our Erasmus+ Training: HumanKind - Stories of Belonging, Participation and Transformation, a 7 days training for Youth workers happening outside Oslo in Norway, 9 -17 June.

For the impact of our practices and the meaningful conversations stemming from this training to reach a larger audience, we are launching this monthly podcast series in April 2025 leading up to the HUMANKIND training in June. Following the training, we will continue with monthly episodes until December 2025 and possibly beyond.

The podcast, with the HUMANKIND Training as a focal point, will serve as an innovative platform for sharing insights, experiences, and practices that inspire social change, particularly in the field of youth work. Our overarching goal is to create an ongoing laboratory where we can explore and disseminate practices that foster cultures of intrinsic belonging, embodied participation, and wholesome transformation.

Our long-term vision extends into 2026 and beyond, aiming to develop the podcast as a living laboratory—a vibrant platform for ongoing exploration of whole-system health and the practical application of awareness-based practices that support the creation of thriving, wholesome communities and the application of awarenessbased practices for deep rooted wholesome transformation.
