People to People podcast

We're exploring International Partnerships by having People to People conversations. As a Scot and a Malawian, we're particularly looking at the friendship between Scotland and Malawi. We chat about climate justice, gender, equality, COVID, privilege, history, farming and the future, oh... and MANGOES! Everyone wants to tell us how good Mangoes taste in Malawi. An important and complicated conversation filled with laughter, respect and warm-hearted love. How can you have an equal partnership when one country is so rich and the other is so poor? If we recognise our privilege- what happens next? What does Restorative Climate Justice actually mean? Can you really grow all your family needs in a quarter acre? How has the pandemic changed our partnerships? How can friendship help protect the Lillian's Lovebird? We want to include as many people as possible in the conversation.

    Refugees in Malawi (Part 2 of 2) with Maria and Florisa

    This is Part 2 of a conversation that we had Maria Chiponde and Florisa De Leo Magambi. Florisa is handing over the Kibebe organisation to Maria, and we heard about that in part one. But we had to also publish some of the other compelling conversation that we had about the refugee community in Malawi. Chimzy and Hazel were both quite moved to hear about it and we'd love to know what you think. Warning: themes of sexual violence and child loss. https://inuaadvocacy.org/ https://www.oneworldshop.co.uk/shop/?filtering=1&filter_product_brand=16951   https://kkids.sumupstore.com/products

    Refugees in Malawi with Maria and Florisa part 1

    Hazel and Chimzy chat with Maria Chiponde and Florisa De Leo Magambi from Kibébé. Kibébé in the Swahili dialect used in the Dzaleka refugee camp where they work means a big fat healthy baby. This episode captures an amazing moment in the organisation's history as Florisa passes over the leadership of the organisation to Maria. This episode features a beautiful song by Peter Mawanga.

    McArthur and Kate (Theatre and International collaboration)

    McArthur Matukuta is the Exectutive Director of Solomonic Peacock Theatre in Malawi and Kate Stafford is a theatre director in the UK, who has spent several years making work in Malawi. Hazel and Chimzy want to find out about their connection and what international theatre collaborations could look like between Malawi and Scotland. "We are able to tell our own stories in our own way. Because this is what I saw when I travelled in different countries. Artists are able to tell their stories in their traditional way... it has also helped us telling a story in a Malawian way, but of international standard." Here are some links to the work of Solomonic Peacock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vByQGKkCSLM&ab_channel=SolomonicPeacocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B8R7MMWwqI&ab_channel=SolomonicPeacocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTlYSlSfbEE&ab_channel=SolomonicPeacocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nPxe8Ygugc&ab_channel=SolomonicPeacocks   It's the only international theatre festival in Malawi and the only festival which is livestreamed on Facebook. https://eastertheatrefestival.org/ Pamtondo is a play, telling a story in a particularly malawian way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QogXUCFhb7o&ab_channel=SolomonicPeacocks Here's a crowdfunder for the Easter Festival: https://gofund.me/70942104 And one to support some volunteers to go there The Tempest toured the UK in 2017 with a company of 10, 4 from Malawi: Joshua Bhima and Robert Magasa played Ariel; Stanley Mambo played Caliban and Ben Michael Mankhamba was one of the two musician/composers.

    Kath, Matthew and Charles talk Fairtrade and farming

    Hazel and Chimzy host a discussion between Scottish farmers Kath and Matthew Aitken and Charles Chavi about farming, bees, fairtrade and resilience. Charles is from the Kasinthula Cane Growers Association in Malawi, he is in the Shire Valley region in the South of Malawi. An association (transitioning into a co-operative) of 762 farmers farming under 1435 hectares, on average 2.5 hectares each. Kath and Matthew live in a small village in Scotland called Dunscore. Kath has recently retired from active farming on Auchengage farm, though as you’ll hear she’s still bee keeping, but she and Matthew now rent their farmland to their neighbours. And Matthew’s interest is in the Fairtrade angle.
