About Active and Effective

The Shoalhaven region has been flogged by climate change. In time of worsening climate driven disasters our Sense of Place is changing alongside our landscapes. The grief of witnessing these changes caused by the worsening climate and extinction crisis alongside a deep love for the Shoalhaven and all of its communities is being met with unique, creative and effective contributions from women of all ages and backgrounds. Active and Effective captures a collection of these stories from women of diverse backgrounds and ages across many organisations to inspire listeners to become their own version of Active and Effective for place and community.Bought to you by Sunny Road Manyana, Storywalks and Shoalhaven Arts Board.

episode Luca & Lulu - for the love of forest meeting sea artwork

Luca & Lulu - for the love of forest meeting sea

On our last episode of Active and Effective we meet Luca and Luca. Obviously and deeply in love with the landscapes of their homes and well educated around the critical need to care for them, both are advocating for place from forest to sea in their own unique authentic ways. In uncertain times there is so much hope in the local grassroots action, especially from the young emerging leaders. Together we are creating a growing and thriving community through the doing.

Juliet - for the love of caring for people and place

In this episode of Active and Effective I talk with Juliet about the intertwined environmental and housing crisis. “Zombies” are attacking coastal communities and housing is unaffordable but young people of the coast are getting creative and collaborative in response. We chat Crunchtime, a youth org from the far South Coast and how I met Juliet and Jacob as they toured screenings of the Crunchtime documentary to communities also fighting zombie attack. Holding youth empowerment workshops guiding young leaders to find their own unique versions of activism and leadership they would get to test as they were invited to take their story to State Parliament. Crunchtime has created and connected a youth community of activists along the east coast. Juliet leads in her way with care, thoughtfulness, poise and a whole lot of sass! crunchtime instagram https://www.instagram.com/crunchtimeaus?igsh=ZmY5dGhlaDZycHZx [https://www.instagram.com/crunchtimeaus?igsh=ZmY5dGhlaDZycHZx] Crunchtime https://crunchtimeaus.org/ [https://crunchtimeaus.org/] Crunchtime - Saving Turas Biodiversity doco https://youtu.be/ypRUfpmMWeA?si=mfeIf3-r6I980nH3 [https://youtu.be/ypRUfpmMWeA?si=mfeIf3-r6I980nH3] Crunchtime in State Parliment; https://youtu.be/B4W9_G0bYhU?si=7krWH8ejeb2UUFGy [https://youtu.be/B4W9_G0bYhU?si=7krWH8ejeb2UUFGy] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Alex - For the love of outdoor adventures artwork

Alex - For the love of outdoor adventures

In this weeks episode, I talk with local photographer, teacher and adventurer Alex Lees about the stories she tells with her images of the local area. In her powerful images Alex has both captured and served as witness to the last few tumultuous years around the Shoalhaven. Her images have evoked the tragedy wrought by climate change, but have also reminded us of of the beauty we find in the living world and the extraordinary biodiversity we care take in the shoalhaven that includes so many threatened species. follow Alex’s adventures and awe inspiring photography; https://www.instagram.com/lexilees3?igsh=cGQxYm5ra2g1ZXUx [https://www.instagram.com/lexilees3?igsh=cGQxYm5ra2g1ZXUx] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Takesa - For the love of Country artwork

Takesa - For the love of Country

In this episode of Active and Effective I talk to Takesa Frank, a proud Aboriginal woman raised in the forests of Yuin Country. In the midst of complete political failure and extinction, the educated and committed environmentalists like Takesa are increasingly left with little option but taking radical action for their place. Find out why Takesa has taken to the trees amongst all her other effective work to draw attention to the decimation that continues in our state forests. Overcoming a fear of heights and of the spotlight Takesa’s powerful leadership contributes to a growing, intelligent, strategic and unstoppable rise to finally bring the end to the archaic native logging industry in NSW. Organising the biggest rally of its kind in Ulladulla, 400 people showed up and said they agree. 20000 signed the petitions. Momentum is building. In the midst of this critical work we find eclectic communities that are bound together by their common goals and values without age barriers or hierarchy, I am noticing front line non violent direct action NVDA is creating communities and culture were all skills, contributions, capacity and people are valued. i have absolute gratitude for Takesa’s work and for her becoming a mentor to my daughter Luca, she welcomes her in and has helped with her studies, they’ve stood together in forests, at rally’s, in state Parliament and shoulder to shoulder with environmental hero’s like Amanda Findley and Sue Higginson, both lifetime advocates of incredible effect on the political front line. get active and effective and find out more today; https://serca.org.au/ [https://serca.org.au/] https://www.suehigginson.org/ [https://www.suehigginson.org/] https://www.nature.org.au/worth_more_standing [https://www.nature.org.au/worth_more_standing] https://bobbrown.org.au/ [https://bobbrown.org.au/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Taz - For the love of our landscapes artwork

Taz - For the love of our landscapes

In this episode of Active and Effective I speak to extraordinary landscape artist and fellow forest activist Taz Whitkamp. Taz spends her time bushwalking in forests, snow boarding and “invoking the uniqueness” of our precious Australian landscapes in her beautiful artworks. I was struck by the creative response of Taz painting live at Weaselstock music festival - rwhere she was raising funds and awareness for the Bob Brown Foundations efforts to end native forest logging. We also discuss experiencing Non Violent Direct Action (NVDA) in Brooman State Forest. Get to know Taz and get inspired to know more about getting active and effective in this critical decade where every degree matters and our back country is still being ripped out daily.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
