Es sollte ein "normaler" Schnitt für Nico Schmolke werden. Doch bei der Arbeit an seiner neuesten Dokumentation ist kurz vor Veröffentlichung alles anders. Statt am nächsten Tag in den Schnitt zu gehen, macht sich Nico auf den Weg zum Arzt. Mit Herzinfarkt-Symptomen. Im Alter von 32 Jahren. Warum wir das wissen? Weil der freie Autor und Journalist die Belastung, den Ausnahmezustand und seine körperliche und psychische Reaktion darauf öffentlich gemacht hat. Für Luca kommt der Bericht zum komplett falschen Zeitpunkt – er packt quasi gerade seine Tasche, um nach Kiribati zu fliegen, um seine erste Doku als freier Autor zu drehen. Einige nervöse Sprachnachrichten später versucht Annkathrin, ihm von Schreibtisch aus zu unterstützen und spricht mit Nico über seine Erfahrungen. Was können andere junge Journalist:innen von ihm lernen? Wie sollten wir an überfordernde Arbeitssituationen herangehen? Und wird nur im TV-Bereich zu viel gefordert – und die Lebenssituation von jungen Medienschaffenden sogar ausgenutzt?

Every day healthcare workers face a lot of stressful and emotionally challenging situations at work. Moreover the long drawn pandemic has had its impact on healthcare workers. Numerous deaths, making difficult choices due to resource constraints and overstretched days are some of the challenges that have affected health workers mentally and emotionally. With daily work demands being constant many of them are left with these issues unresolved. How then can we care for our caregivers who support the health and quality of life of their patients and their relatives? This is a taster of a program that uses large group learnings, small group sharing, peer-to-peer interactions and role-plays. This session will also provide an overview of the program that provides healthcare teams a platform to address their unaddressed pain, and emotional as well as psychological hurts Using a structured and sustained approach the program provides the supportive environment, caring community and appropriate skills for the healing of healthcare workers and equips them to go on to become better careers in the workplace. https://bit.ly/gmhc2022_mathewmulavelil_caringforthecaregiver

El aumento del nivel del mar, uno de los efectos del cambio climático amenaza a varios archipiélagos del Pacifico y del Caribe también. Te contamos la historia de Gardi Sugdup, un islote de la costa panameña donde la población tomó la decisión radical de reubicarse en tierra firme. Es una pequeña isla de 200 metros de largo en la costa caribeña de Panamá. Gardi Sugdub forma parte del archipiélago de la región indígena de Guna Yala y su población es de 1300 habitantes, hacinados en casas de madera y láminas de zinc. Ubicada a tan solo 50 cm del nivel del mar, el islote es particularmente vulnerable a los eventos meteorológicos extremos que se multiplican con el cambio climático: huracanes, tsunamis, lluvias torrenciales que causan inundaciones frecuentes. Uno de los islotes del archipiélago ya ha perdido un tercio de su superficie en 30 años, según muestras imágenes satelitales.A más largo plazo, Gardi Sugdup, al igual que otros islotes del archipiélago están condenados a desaparecer a causa de un fenómeno progresivo y casi imperceptible: el aumento del nivel del mar.Bajo el efecto del calentamiento global, las aguas oceánicas del planeta se dilatan lo que causa un aumento del nivel del mar. Un fenómeno agravado por el derretimiento de los glaciares y de los casquetes polares.Los científicos que observan la evolución del clima en la región son contundentes: la isla de Gardi Sugdub seguirá perdiendo territorio hasta desaparecer por completo bajo las aguas. "En el Caribe, el nivel del mar aumenta 3 mm por año”, observa Steven Paton, el científico que dirige el programa de monitoreo ambiental en el Instituto Smithonian de investigaciones tropicales ubicado en Panamá.En la isla de Gardi Sugdup, la amenaza permanente de un tsunami y la multiplicación de los eventos climáticos extremos se hace sentir. La amenaza climática es una de las razones que los llevó a tomar una decisión drástica: abandonar su isla para reubicar el pueblo en tierra firme, con la ayuda del gobierno nacional.En 1882, a raíz de un terremoto, decenas de indígenas guna del archipiélago de Guna Yala murieron ahogados en un tsunami, la isla vive bajo la amenaza permanente de las inundaciones.A las amenazas naturales se suma el hacinamiento. Ante el crecimiento de la población de la isla y la falta de espacio, en 2010, los habitantes decidieron trasladarse colectivamente en tierra firme, en un terreno que les pertenece en la costa y que quieren bautizar Isber Yala. La construcción de 300 casas nuevas casas con apoyo del gobierno panameño avanza lentamente. Un informe de la ONG Human Rights Watch exige más esfuerzos del estado para garantizar el acceso al agua en el futuro barrio.Al igual que el archipiélago de Guna Yala en Panamás las islas Tuvalu, Kiribati y Fiyí en el océano Pacífico también serán inhabitables en unas décadas. Desaparecerán las casas, los cementerios y los cultivos. El reto será conservar al menos su cultura y su modo de vida.Entrevistados: >Steven Paton, director programa de monitoreo ambiental para el Instituto Smithonian de investigaciones tropicales.>Blas Lopez Morales, sociólogo, miembro de la comunidad de Gardí Sugdub y miembro del equipo técnico del proyecto de traslado de la comunidad.

A few weeks ago, we had fellow CARF member Jasmine on to discuss this upcoming rally, but since then we've seen some successful anti-fascist resistance to attempted neo-nazi intimidation of a fundraiser event last Friday at Cafe Gummo in Thornbury. Today, Ellie will continue the discussion about the importance of broad-based anti-fascist resistance, let us know about the speak-out held this past Tuesday at Gummo, and remind listeners about details of the protest coming up this Saturday the 23rd of September, meeting at 2PM at the IGA in Sunshine West.// Dementia Action Week 2023//Maree McCabe AM, CEO and Board Member of Dementia Australia, joined us today for Dementia Action Week 2023, which runs from 18-24 September and includes World Alzheimer's Day on Thursday 21 September, to talk about stigma, discrimination, and lack of awareness of dementia.

Recently, however, the Greens backflipped on withholding support for the Housing Australia Future Fund after getting a commitment for extra spending on social housing from the Labor government, reducing the pressure to introduce a rent cap. To discuss how this contributes to the housing stress faced by students, impacts federal housing policy and influences their campaigning in the future we were joined by National Union of Students' Education Officer Xavier Dupe. During the interview, Xavier mentioned the NUS Education Office's ‘Get A Room' campaign to fix the rental crisis - find out more here.// Building Community with Resident Frequency Recording Studio//Earlier this week, Spike caught up with Izzy Brown to congratulate her on the launch of the latest grassroots community project she has been involved in called the Resident Frequency Recording studio. Located at the old men's shed at 253 Hoddle St Collingwood, the Resident Frequency Recording Studio is an important local community controlled resource that should be celebrated, and Izzy spoke to us about its launch on Sunday September 17th, the importance of building free, safe and inclusive community spaces, and shared the local community's hopes to develop autonomous skillshare and mentoring programs from the Collingwood public housing estate site.//
