Amigos y familia maravillosos 😇
Here's your fortnightly shot of social impact finds from the past couple of weeks. Please enjoy this wide-ranging selection and, as ever, let me know your feedback.
1. Lo que comparto: 5 consejos para contar historias sobre refugiados - take a look at this new blog post I've written together with my wonderful friend and colleague Tanya for Comic Relief. This is a summary of learning and insights shared from a recent exhibition and panel discussion we worked on called RE-ROOTED: Historias de volver a empezar, featuring the celebrated Hassan Akkad, among other. Check out Comic Relief's just-published visual LinkedIn post que también resume estas ideas.
2. What I'm grateful for: CXC's Climate Action Resources - Esta es una hoja de trucos de una página llena de los mejores artículos, libros, cursos, documentales, podcasts, vídeos y otros recursos para el activismo y la educación sobre el clima. Elaborada por la organización y la colaboración de ChangemakerXchange. Compruébalo
3. What I'm using: 3 herramientas digitales para mejorar su día a día - Prompted by the above bullet, which is hosted on Notion - an awesome way to create dynamic and intuitive web pages in minutes for free - here are 2 other digital tools I've been using for years that streamline workflow (neither are particularly 'secret' - but most people underuse them): Calendly: cut time going back-and-forth to organise meetings, just automate it and forget about it - also free. Cosaspara los usuarios de Apple, esta aplicación ha cambiado mi vida (¡no me quedo corto!) y mi forma de trabajar desde que empecé a utilizarla hace 3 años. Pongo absolutamente todo I have to do on this, it's intuitive, speedy and beautiful to use - one-off purchase needed.
4. Quote I'm pondering: What's causing me existential and social angst - “’And that’, put in the Director sententiously, ‘that is the secret of happiness and virtue - liking what you’ve got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.” - Brave New World, Aldous Huxley.
5. What I'm reading: Los chicos serán Chicos Manual - Next Gen Men have just published a 145-page chunk of their curriculum working with boys across Canada to engage them in topics such as mental health, healthy relationships and gender equality. This is a wonderful resource and I deeply admire any group, company or organisation that makes public its 'trade secrets' to the end of greater shared learning and impact.
