Facilitating Catalytic Collaborations – Part 1
Manage episode 440666185 series 3599928
In this episode, released in two parts, we highlight four stories of people around the world engaged in shifting systems in agriculture, housing, employment, finance, and place-based ecosystem regeneration. We’ll hear about what these practitioners are learning and how their work is unfolding in real time. You won’t hear our hosts, only the voice of the person sharing their story.
In part one, we begin with the African Food Fellowship, a dynamic network of leaders working to radically change food systems for better health, sustainability, and inclusivity on the African Continent. The fellowship is an ambitious initiative co-created by Wasafiri and Wageningen University. The fellowship is supported by Ikea Foundation and Small Foundation. Sharing this story is Claudia Piacenza, Food System lead at Wasafiri Consulting.
The second story is about Roof Over Our Heads, an on the ground, do it yourself, initiative that is transforming housing and habitat in many cities in the global south. Roof Over Our Heads is an example of everyday leadership that creates impact through local partnerships. We hear from Sheela Patel the founder of Roof Over Our Heads and SPARC, an NGO based in Mumbai that mobilizes large numbers of the urban poor to enable them to become an important part of their city’s systems.
