The GM Moving Podcast

Welcome to the last episode of the Right to the Streets edition of the GM Moving podcast. Throughout the whole of Right To The Streets initiative and across the last 16 episodes of the podcast, you’ve heard us say again and again that this is not the end.  Far from it:  it’s just the beginning, and, collectively, it feels like we've really started something. In this episode, we explore the longer term changes people want to see and how this work can continue to influence wider change across whole systems, from communities, through to policy makers and national government.  ------------------------ Episode transcript available to download.

Art and creativity are key ingredients in the Right to the Streets initiative, but why does public art matter, and can it really shift the perception of a place? In this episode, Eve is joined by Stretford Stride and OT Creative Space, two local organsations who worked closely with the community to co-design artisitc interventions that brought the streets of North Trafford to life. The poem you hear is by Maya Chowdhury and Young Identity. ------------------------ Episode transcript available to download.

Partnership working was the very backbone to the whole Right to the Streets initiative from the very start. Partnerships between cross sector and cross discipline organisations, groups and more informal social networks. In this episode, we're going to explore the strength of working with, investing in, and growing local partnerships in a neighbourhood, and how these relationships are the key to inspiring and enabling community-led action. ------------------------ Episode transcript available to download.

In Manchester, we talk a lot about doing things differently. In this episode, you'll get a sense of what that looks like as we talk about using people-powered performance to influence policy. Join us as we explore the power of Legislative Theatre, one of the approaches that we took as part of the Right To The Streets project to speak directly to policy and decision-makers - the very people who could then influence changes, at a strategy level, that would help to create safer public spaces for everyone, with a focus on women and girls.   ------------------------ Episode transcript available to download.
