    In this episode, we are exploring the topic of leadership within faith and religion. We explore this through the perspective of Rogers Govender, Dean of Manchester from The Church of England.
    We unpack the challenges and opportunities religion and religious leadership is facing today and into the future. We explore attitudes and the things that divide us- and practically explore how we can find unity to collectively tackle big issues.

    7 | The Global Refugee Crisis: How can we really affect change? With guest Gillian Triggs

    At least 100 million people globally have been forced to flee their homes and the UN is predicting, based on the current rate, that this will double within the next five years.
    As the global refugee crisis continues to play out on a global scale, we have to ask the tough questions and work together to come up with real solutions.
    UN Assistant Secretary-General and Assistant High Commissioner for Protection with UNHCR, Gillian Triggs, sits down with Adi Sengupta to unpack the crisis and explore models for change.

    6 | Does accessibility equal independence? With guest Katrina Webb

    6 | Does accessibility equal independence? With guest Katrina Webb

    Globally, 1 in 7 of us lives with a disability. And of those, 80% are invisible. That is 1 billion people who are living with a non-visible disability.
    While conversations have advanced through the years and support and policies have been put in place, we have to ask how real and non-performative they actually are.
    In our next episode, we are seeking to understand the lived experience of Katrina Webb OAM to really explore how inclusive society is, where we fall down and what is genuinely needed to see change for a better future.

    In our next episode, we are seeking to understand the lived experience of Daniel Ash (President of The Field Foundation of Illinois), post the 2020 BLM protests in the United States of America, to really explore how, as a society, we got here and what is genuinely needed to see change for a better future.
