¡Buenos días almas sociales! 🧜
This 5 Bullet Friday wings its way to you from the cosy interior of a Flixbus to Geneva where I'm off to discuss all things social strategy-related with my Fundación Solidaridad Global co-conspirator, Cyril. To get in the mood, I'm delighted to share these 5 social tips, treats and talking points, all of which I've come across or re-discovered over the past fortnight. Please enjoy!
1. What I'm listening to: El Pozo Amargo - I've been acoustically binging on this track over the past week, featuring the captivating Swedish folk instrument, the Nyckelharpa. Ana Alcaide is the director of the World Music Festival of Toledo, where she is credited for breathing life back into this ancient instrument.
2. What I'm reflecting on: ¿Está ustedunting antílopes o ratones de campo? - Despite the non-vegan imagery, this short thought has stuck with me over the past fortnight, a helpful metaphor to focus one's time on what really moves the needle. Have you identified your antelopes?
3. Resource I'm sharing: Asesoramiento jurídico gratuito, investigación y trabajo político para organizaciones benéficas - Alongside the fabulous TrustLaw, I've been made aware of this offer from ReedSmith. Full details in the linked document where I've put the relevant contact details. Well worth taking advantage of for any pieces of work you've wanted to explore as a charity but haven't had the time or resources to get round to.
4. What I'm watching: Ruth Chang's TED Talk on Hard Choices - This is one powerful and mindset-changing talk, which I've come across through my current coaching sessions (more on that soon). From the blurb: "Big decisions like these can be agonisingly difficult. But that's because we think about them the wrong way, says philosopher Ruth Chang. She offers a powerful new framework for shaping who we truly are."
5. Project I'm inspired by: Proyecto Sandía - Esta brillante iniciativa existe para conectar a las familias de Palestina con recursos y equipos de ayuda de todo el mundo. Puedes ayudar directamente a las familias que intentan ponerse a salvo y conectar con una red mundial de donantes y activistas. Me encanta lo clara y eficaz que es esta iniciativa.
