The Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC) ‘Tapestry 2030’ podcast series focuses on the future of international cooperation and global solidarity, and the partnerships needed for gender transformative, sustainable development. Listen to conversations with diverse development actors and leaders from across Ontario and around the world, learning how they are working together to address some of the most pressing sustainable development challenges of our time. Hear stories of partnership, approaches to a ‘Just Recovery’ in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and insights on ways you can make a difference in our collective work to ‘leave no one behind’. The newest season of Tapestry 2030 is called Global Voices and was created and hosted by a team from the Youth Policy-Makers Hub (YPH). This new season seeks to identify and amplify voices of marginalized communities who have largely been excluded from international cooperation, development, and policy conversations. The goal is to identify challenges that these groups face within local, national, and international contexts, and create strategies so that they can be better included and prioritized.
