The EDUS Podcast

EDUS 04 - Sustainability and Second Chances with Theresa Hansen

In our fourth episode, we explore what it truly means to build a sustainable society — one person at a time. We talk with Teresa Hansen, a development consultant at Rot and Godt, a private organization in Denmark that combines the production of furniture from reclaimed materials with education and employment programs for youth at the margins of the labor market. Teresa shares how Rot and Godt takes a holistic approach to supporting young people — from hands-on workshop experience and classroom learning, to social work and mental health support — all guided by the belief that people, like materials, always deserve a second chance. We hope you find this conversation as heartwarming as we did. Enjoy.

EDUS 03 - Sustainability and Research with Nicole Ticchi

In our third episode, we explore what sustainability truly means when seen through the lens of science, health, and culture. We talk with Nicole Ticchi, a science culture specialist with a background in medicinal chemistry who works at the intersection of sustainability, health, and research. Nicole shares how she came to see sustainability not just as an environmental challenge, but as a deeply social and cultural one — and why changing the culture itself may be the most important step of all. A conversation about awareness, agency, and why even the smallest action in your own field can be the beginning of real change. We hope you find this conversation inspiring. Enjoy.
