episode Tony Kelly on CIVICS & CULTURE Civics Master Class || Diaologues That Matters cover

Description

CIVICS & CULTURE, Civics Master Class Date: Sunday 3rd August 2025 Time: 9PM GMT UK TIME/ 4PM EST / 3PM JAM TIME Tony Kelly, UK Diabetes Ambassador / Activist Welcome to the Civics Master Class Series, where we embark on a journey to explore the vibrant interplay between civics and culture in shaping the unique tapestry of Jamaica. Civic life in Jamaica is deeply rooted in its rich history of resilience, community, and self-determination—a legacy inherited from its indigenous Taino people, the era of colonization, and the relentless pursuit of emancipation and independence. The Jamaican motto, "Out of Many, One People," is more than a national slogan; it reflects the fusion of African, European, Asian, and indigenous influences that continue to enrich the nation’s civic conversations, democratic values, and social responsibilities.

On today's episode I am joined by Ms Kay Osborne and Nora Blake organisers of the Stand for Jamaica demonstration held on 30 June 2026 in Kingston. The demonstration brought together Jamaicans from across the island and the diaspora to express concerns about issues including government accountability, transparency, governance, and national policy. In this interview, we reflect on the day's events, discuss the organisers' objectives, and explore what comes next. In this discussion, we cover: ✅ Reflections on the Stand for Jamaica demonstration ✅ Was the protest successful? ✅ Government accountability and transparency ✅ Citizen participation in a healthy democracy ✅ The role of Parliament and public institutions ✅ The importance of peaceful civic engagement ✅ The way forward for Jamaica This programme aims to encourage informed discussion, respectful debate, and constructive engagement on issues affecting Jamaica and its people.
