2020-21 Season—Speaking Our Peace

Episode 13 — Approaches to education, based on Gandhian and Islamic principles

24/12/2020

Speaking Our Peace is a project undertaken by four women who live in three different countries. We always seek to bring you real stories of people who have done amazing things so that you may find some rays of hope in times of instability and turmoil. If that's what brings you to our podcast, this episode will surely be as informative as it is heartening. In this episode, you will hear from Shaykh Dr. Al-Ninowy (the founder of the Madina Institute), Sushama Sharma (principal of the Anand Niketan school in India), and S. C. Behar (former Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh in India). There is so much we can learn from them, and hearing these three speak all together is powerful.

For more on Dr. Al-Ninowy's work, please visit www.madinainstitute.com.

This is our last episode for 2020. We look forward to seeing you again in 2021.

Episode 12 — Facilitating community building with Joe Cloutier

Joe Cloutier has been an educator with a focus on high-risk populations for decades. Early in his career, he recognized that creativity and the arts were an avenue through which he could offer youth a way to express their stories and relate to one another. Over the years, Joe continued his work with his students, eventually leading him to help found Inner City High School, a not-for-profit independent high school that works with high-risk youth.

In this interview, Annie spends time delving into Joe's personal story, from his childhood in inner city Toronto, to his time spent doing different jobs, and eventually becoming an educator. Joe's passion for what he does comes through clearly when he speaks about his work.

Episode 11 — How it begins with Jill Carr-Harris

Jill has been a peace activist for decades. We were fortunate to hear about the beginning of her journey into peace work, the work she is currently engaged in, and everything in between.

We hope you come away with an understanding, not just of her impressive credentials (and let me tell you, they ARE impressive), but also with her humanity. Jill has a way of making a person feel seen and heard in an interaction, but coupled with this is a sense of drive and focus that makes one feel as though her attention would not have come upon you if not for a good reason. We hope, during this episode, you discover your "good reason". Email: speakingourpeace@gmail.com IG and Twitter: @ourpeacepodcast www.speakingourpeace.com
