Achieving Zero-Waste: Young people and waste management

Managing waste properly is essential for building sustainable and livable cities, but it remains a challenge for many developing countries and cities. And Just like any other city, Juba - the capital of South Sudan and its surrounding suburbs faces the challenge of poor waste management, and very little is done to care for the environment as well. March 30 2023 is the international day for zero waste proclaimed by the UN General Assembly last December, to formally recognize the importance of zero-waste initiatives around the world. So in this episode of our podcast, we reflect on some local youth initiatives in South Sudan, created specifically to work towards waste management and discuss what more can be done to ensure proper disposal and management of our waste in our homes, communities, and the country at large. This conversation features Alice Sabuni - a young woman very passionate about environmental care and recycling waste products. She founded Eco Clean -a Juba-based initiative to manage waste in some parts of the city. In this episode, you shall also listen to a youth leader who has mobilized his peers to ensure their neighborhood is waste-free.

Mental Health & Suicide Prevention among the Youth in South Sudan

Suicide is a major public health problem with far-reaching social, emotional, and economic consequences. It is estimated that there are currently more than 700,000 suicide cases registered per year worldwide. In South Sudan, a WHO report indicated that more than 400 suicide cases were recorded in 2020 alone, and the majority of victims were found to be young people between 15-29 years. So, in this episode, we explore the mental health status of the country, triggers of suicide, warning signs of mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts, how to prevent it, especially among young people, where to seek for professional help and our individual responsibilities in suicide prevention. Guest:  Mr. Boniface Duku – Mental Health and psycho-social Support specialist –  HealthNet TPO South Sudan. Host: Rosemary Wilfred - Media & Communications Manager - Tearfund South Sudan

Writing Poems - A Creative way to share thoughts & ideas.

How do you express yourself, e.g. what you feel or an idea you want to get across? Do you always speak your mind, do you just write it down or do you simply draw or sing?  Well, there are very many ways to express one’s feelings, and writing these feelings or ideas down is just one of them. Writing can be a source of endless inspiration and enlightenment and a kind of art that empowers, nurtures, and transforms.  It can also help open up conversations that are otherwise difficult to start and in recent years, youth poetry has particularly blown up and is quickly becoming popular among young people in South Sudan who use their creativity for good. So this episode features two young South Sudanese who are passionate about writing POEMS to get their messages across to other people. Priscilla Ayuen – a student at the University of Juba and Grace Mundua – a student at the Catholic University of South Sudan are both celebrated young writers in South Sudan. In this conversation, the young ladies talked about their most popular poems and their motivation.

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.
