HELLO WORLD

THE POWER TO CHANGE

Hello World, I'm Justas.  I am seventeen years old and I come from Lithuania.  In our last episode - we talked a lot about fear….and how fear makes us look at the world and people around us.  But fear also does something to ourselves.  When I feel scared…. or really stressed, my mind goes blank … and then…. I can’t think straight. I like to change that,  cause one day I want to become a musician  But change doesn’t happen just like that. We have to work for it.  But how do you start?   In a world full of filters, harsh editing and constant media noise…how do we break through? How do we speak up? How do we get heard?  One goal of the Hello World project is to promote active citizenship and amplify young peoples’ voices. It may sound all fancy but I know we have a lot to say!  In this episode, my Danish friend Johannes said that he wanted to make a story about young people's right to vote.  Ep6 - Music credits; Kaumora - 4 Easy Steps (featured on the Therapy album) Ability II - Come baby ride my vibe (original version edited) Ability II - Strictly Rockers DJB - Prayer for the world DJB - Break Dat Beat!

THE POWER OF RIPPLES

In our last episode we talked about active citizenship and the power to change. Our Danish friend Johannes explored the subject of young people’s right to vote…which is something that he feels very strongly about.  But the power to change is a whole lot bigger than our right to place a vote for a party every few years…and sometimes change comes in different forms and volumes. Some change happens suddenly, like the big splash you get when you throw a rock into the water. The big splash is one thing. But then…we have the ripples. It’s the opposite of the big splash and we will never know the impact of the ripples that flows from something you heard or were inspired by.  It’s a more unknow and discrete kind of change….But sustainable…and so profound.   Just think about Greta Thunberg and how from one day deciding to go on a Global Climate strike she has started a “youth quake” were an estimated 1,6 million young people in 125 different countries took to the streets, demanding world leaders to take climate action – now. All this started with her sitting down peacefully every Friday, a few years ago. We do not know today, where this is going to end. This episode is a tribute to everyone who has ever had the spine to speak their mind, even when it’s difficult…and the ripple effects that flows from your courage.  A few weeks ago, we met up in Denmark and discussed different issues that we feel strongly about, like eduaction. There was an ocean of topics in school that needs to be addressed…and we will…but on other platforms than this episode. Because what it all boiled down to, is a genuine wish from us teens to feel cared for and seen for who we are.  This will be a big focus in this episode. Enjoy!

THE POWER OF DIALOGUE

Where does peace begin?  The Nobel Peace Center say that "those who listen...change the world",  and that is what we are hoping to be a part of, one conversation...and one podcast at a time. While producing a podcast about the war in Ukraine, our group is being put to the test.  Communication is far from easy....and especially when we feel afraid, threatened...or when someone is challenging our very core beliefs. But in "Hello World" we do not shy away from difficult subjects....instead we try to go back and do what we promised to do.... to listen some more...and we look for role models and helpers around us. May it be teachers, parents, friends or Nobel Peace Laureates like Nelson Mandela, who said that the very best weapon is to sit down and actually talk. This episode is a tribute to everyone who wishes to live in peace and is ready to work for it!

THE POWER OF FEAR

What is the Power of Fear? What does fear do to us? And how does fear impact the way we look at the world and eachother?  Our fourth episode "The Power of Fear" focuses on the war in Ukraine, as experienced by neighbouring countries. Our Lithuanian friends Ema and Elsa share their perspectives on their country's history and some of the other participants find what  they are expressing both shocking and offensive. We find ourselves in some very complex and difficult conversations, but when emotions run high...we go back and do what we promised tyou all to do. We listen some more.

SISU - THE POWER FROM WITHIN

In this episode we’ll focus on what makes our hearts beat faster.  We are curious to find out what happens to our bodies and minds when that fire in a real Finnish Sauna gets going. We’ll take you along to enjoy a steamy Sauna with our Finnish guru Antti. We’re also traveling to Turkey, which is another country world famous for their steamý baths and saunas. So originally - our Turkish friends Nisa and Neslahen were going to make a story about this. But in the middle of the night, on the 6th of February Syria and Turkey was struck by an earthquake that killed almost 60 000 people, injured twice as many and left more than 1,5 million people homeless. So Turkey’s story is a story about real inner strength or sisu and also hope in the aftermath of the earthquake…it’s about our families and friends and all the rescue workers who never stopped working. And this episode is a tribute to them. “Hello World” is funded by Erasmus + and can be found on many different platforms, such as Spotify, Soundcloud and Apple Podcast.  Hello World - Ep3 music credits; DJB - Break Dat Beat!
