Desde febrero de 2016 que no se presentaban en el puerto de Valparaíso dos dobles recaladas de cruceros en una misma semana. Este jueves 25 de enero se dio la cuarta y última recalada doble de la temporada con el arribo de las naves World Pacific, también conocido como “Peace Boat”, y el Viking Jupiter, que es el que más veces estará arribando durante la actual temporada, junto con el Celebrity Eclipse. Con estas cuatro recaladas se totalizó la llegada de 8.959 visitantes a la ciudad durante los últimos 7 días. Kaspars Jansons, capitán del Pacific World (Peace Boat), detalló respecto a las actividades que realizan en los diversos puertos a los que arriban en el mundo. “Lo que hacemos normalmente es apoyar a organizaciones benéficas. Así que tenemos cargado en el barco algunos artículos para regalar a estas entidades en Chile. En África también donamos a organizaciones benéficas allí, como escuelas, por ejemplo. Normalmente cuando llegamos a los puertos ayudamos a la gente pobre. Vamos a las playas y las limpiamos, si es necesario. Y este es nuestro objetivo: intentar llevar la paz a todo el mundo”. El navegante también tuvo palabras para la ciudad de Valparaíso a la cual ya ha visitado Valparaíso en seis ocasiones anteriormente, con diferentes compañías, contando que aquí “me siento bienvenido. Todo el mundo es muy amigable, es una bonita ciudad. Tengo algunos amigos de esta zona, de Chile, y que solíamos trabajar juntos en diferentes empresas, así que los llamaré más adelante”. Por su parte, Yuki Uchimura, coordinadora del Pace Boat, expresó que “estamos súper contentos de por fin poder volver a Valparaíso después de cuatro años. Valparaíso siempre ha sido uno de los puertos que han estado muy emocionados de poder conocer los pasajeros, especialmente que todos nosotros siempre les contamos de lo lindo que se ven todas las casas de acá, del puerto, o sea, desde el barco también y el atardecer de Valparaíso. Este barco da la vuelta al mundo en tres meses y todo el mundo al finalizar siempre queda hablando del atardecer en Valparaíso y los colores que se ven desde el barco”. En cuanto a las actividades de los pasajeros que desembarcaron de la nave, la representante del barco de la paz detalló que “en un inicio los pasajeros están de turismo, principalmente concentrados en Viña del Mar y Valparaíso, turismo con tour operadores. Tenemos y queremos empezar a retomar todas las otras actividades que teníamos antes (4 años atrás), que, por ejemplo, uno de los tours que sí tenemos esta vez es con la corporación Nikkei Región de Valparaíso, que es una organización para difundir y compartir la cultura japonesa entre la comunidad local". Franco Gandolfo, gerente general de Puerto Valparaíso, sostuvo que “en esta última semana vivimos un nuevo e importante desafío al atender a 5 naves de pasajeros, incluyendo al Sapphire Princess del sábado 20, totalizando cerca de 15 mil visitantes que transitaron por el Terminal de Pasajeros, donde la coordinación entre los distintos actores involucrados, sumado a los organismos fiscalizadores y autoridades locales y de la región, ha sido fundamental para poder brindar una gran experiencia a quienes llegan a nuestra ciudad puerto”. El ejecutivo de la estatal puntualizó además que “en esta última doble recalada se dio una particularidad en cuanto al destino de los pasajeros que embarcan y desembarcan, ya que el Pacific World, al tener mucha gente en tránsito, favoreció que existieran muchos visitantes en la ciudad. En tanto, el Viking Jupiter, que estuvo tres días en Valparaíso, permitió que se efectuara gran cantidad de visitas y paseos locales para los pasajeros, por lo que el turismo, la hotelería, la gastronomía y el comercio local debería tener un impacto positivo durante estas jornadas, lo cual es muy alentador para quienes viven de esas actividades”.

Είμαι ο Δημήτρης και σήμερα θα κάνουμε ένα solo show. Μόνο εγώ είμαι εδώ σήμερα. «Πού είναι η Μαριλού;», μπορεί να ρωτάτε, μπορεί να αναρωτιέστε. Η Μαριλού αυτή τη στιγμή είναι έξω και απολαμβάνει φαγητό και ρακή σε ένα κοντινό τσιπουράδικο εδώ κοντά. Ή ρακάδικο θα το λέγαμε; Τσίπουρο, ρακή: αυτά τα δύο με μπερδεύουν. Μάλλον επειδή είναι κρητικό στέκι αυτό θα έχει ρακή παρά τσίπουρο, η ρακή είναι κρητική. Τέλος πάντων, εγώ κάνω babysitting σήμερα. Εγώ κοίμισα τον Σταύρο. Προσπάθησα να τον κοιμίσω σήμερα που λέτε με το Abbey Road, όπως έχουμε πει σε άλλο επεισόδιο το Abbey Road των Beatles. Αφού του το έπαιξα δύο φορές, γυρνάει και μου λέει, «Μπαμπά, άλλο τραγούδι. Αυτό για μωράκια». [1:28] Το Abbey Road, το Medley του Abbey Road των Beatles είναι για μωράκια, μάλλον επειδή του το βάζουμε ήδη σχεδόν δύο χρόνια, το έχει συνδυάσει με, ξέρω γω, νανουρίσματα και τέτοια. Και μετά του έβαλα ένα άλλο των Beatles, το Let it be. Και αυτό του το βάζουμε από παλιά, αλλά αυτό μάλλον δεν είναι για μωρά. Τέλος πάντων, για να μην μακρηγορώ κάτι που μάλλον θα κάνω αυτήν τη φορά, επειδή είμαι μόνος μου μπροστά στο μικρόφωνο, θα σας πω γιατί σήμερα μιλάω μόνος μου μαζί σας πέρα απ' το ότι λείπει η Μαριλού. Είχαμε κανονίσει κάτι άλλο για σήμερα. Για την ακρίβεια, σήμερα είναι 20 Μαΐου. Ήτανε οι φίλοι μας απ' το Βέλγιο, ο Δημήτρης και η τάξη του των ελληνικών... [2:17] ...που κάνουν επίσκεψη στην Αθήνα αυτές τις ημέρες μεταξύ τους η Ίνγκριντ, ο Γι και η Εφ, αυτοί οι τρεις μας έδωσαν μία συνέντευξη επί τόπου όπου τους συναντήσαμε σήμερα. Είχα την ιδέα να κάνουμε ένα podcast με μαθητές των ελληνικών, όπως έχουμε κάνει στο παρελθόν. Τους συναντήσαμε στα Friday's στον Φλοίσβο και είχε πάρα πολλή φασαρία, και δεν ξέρω πώς δεν μου έκοψε, νόμιζα ότι αυτή η φασαρία δεν θα είναι εκκωφαντική στην ηχογράφηση. [2:52] Ήταν εκκωφαντική στην ηχογράφηση. Σας βάζω λίγο να ακούσετε. [3:00] Γεια σου, Γι. (Γεια σου, Δημήτρη.) Χαίρομαι πολύ που μιλάς στο podcast. (Με πολλή χαρά. Είμαστε εδώ στην Αθήνα με τον δάσκαλό μας για τρεις-τέσσερις μέρες και είμαστε μαζί με την γυναίκα μου στο σχολείο στην τάξη του Δημήτρη.) Για την υπόλοιπη απομαγνητοφώνηση, γίνετε μέλη μας!

Many might be surprised that there are homeless people in Singapore. In fact, there are about 1000 people living on the streets in Singapore. Homelessness is often hidden in plain sight and with it being so hidden, it is easy for people to have misconceptions and questions surrounding it. What does it mean to be homeless? Why are people homeless and should we see homelessness as a problem that needs solving? On the seventh episode of the second season, host and Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Liang Kaixin chats with Dr Harry Tan, Research Fellow at IPS, and June Chua, Co-founder of The T Project, to talk about the state of homelessness in Singapore and the possible options that we can provide to the homeless to better support them.  Find out more about homelessness: The Straits Times (16 Nov 2021): Helping the homeless beyond putting a roof over their heads South China Morning Post (20 May 2020): Homeless in Singapore: why some prefer to sleep rough during coronavirus circuit breaker despite more shelter beds The Straits Times (24 Mar 2020): Whole-of-community approach needed to help Singapore's homeless: Expert panel CNA (8 Nov 2019): About 1,000 homeless people live on Singapore's streets: Study Mothership (3 Oct 2019): Shanmugam visits T Project shelter, S'pore's first & only social service for transgender people CNA (30 Jul 2019): ‘You don't know our pain': Helping the homeless find their way home About our guests: Dr Harry Tan Research Fellow at Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Harry is a Research Fellow in the Policy Lab at the Institute of Policy Studies. His research interests are in homelessness, social inequality, social policy, housing insecurity and addiction issues. He has researched on the homeless population in Singapore, street children in Thailand and Singapore's street buskers.  Harry is also a volunteer in the PEERS (Partners Engaging and Empowering Rough Sleepers) network in Singapore and has worked closely with people experiencing homelessness in Singapore since 2012 and in Melbourne from 2015 to 2017.

“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”-Ryunosuke Satoro In this episode, I have a great chat with Eve Isambourg Peace Boat Ocean and Climate Youth Ambassador. Eve was born on the French coast and grew up on Mauritius Island. In 2016 she moved to Paris to study International Relations at the University of Sciences of Paris, where she specialized in Global Environmental Governance, Ocean and Climate Change issues and Sustainable entrepreneurship. In 2018 Eve had the pleasure of participating in the Peace Boat's Ocean and Climate Youth Ambassadors program which inspired her to launch the first edition of the #IspeakBlueToo campaign to support the UN World Oceans Day. At the moment she is finishing her Masters in Environmental Policy at The Paris Institute of Political Science and is passionately interested in “Environmental communication.

Navi: 大橋コユキ Guest : 田村美和子さん・エミリーマグローンさん

Welcome to the Oceanriders Podcast: conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, thinkers and dreamers who happen to be surfers. Today my guest is all four of them : her name is Eve Isambourg and she is a stunning, brilliant and inspiring young woman from Mauritius. At only 19, she created a movement to raise awareness about the importance of ocean conservation. This May, while she was sitting her second year college exams at Sciences Po Paris, she created the "I Speak Blue Too" campaign that went viral. In this episode, Eve tells us her story, and shares her experience of creating and leading an activist campaign in favor of our oceans. We discuss what it takes to dive into the world of activism, how social media plays a great part and what you learn on the way.  Eve is an accomplished surfer, a model, working as an ambassador for brands who share her values, a blogger, a yoga and zumba teacher, and an ocean activist. She is a warrior fighting for freedom of women, surfing and ocean conservation. In this episode, Eve tells us her story, and shares her experience of creating and leading an activist campaign that went viral for World Ocean Day in June. At a tipping point in history for our climate and our planet, we discuss what it takes to dive into the world of activism, how social media plays a great part, how to get your voice picked-up by super famous NGOs (such as 4Ocean, Surfrider and Oceana), and what you learn on the way. Eve has taken her movement one step further and shares with us some key elements of the I Speak Blue Too report that can be downloaded and shared here. You can find out here how to be a part of the I Speak Blue Too campaign here, as the campaign is still running. If there is anything to take from this episode, it's the fact that anything is possible as long as you believe in yourself, your values and that you have something to say. Just take action like Eve and don't have any expectations, it's all a learning curve. Eve shares her experience into what it takes to become a brand ambassador (it's easier than you think) as she proudly represents Rip Curl Europe, Savage Clothing, Making Waves Clothing and Belle et Toile. Eve tells us the story of her most epic surf trip to Scar Reef in Sumbawa Indonesia, and you'll find out some interesting info on where to go surfing in Mauritius (avoid the posh hotels and the white sandy beaches and you'll fall in love with the clean reefs of Tamarin). My apologies for the sound on Eve's end. I thought that it would be a good idea for Eve to record outside, but it turns out we can hear the chirping of birds, dog barks (and sometimes the neighbors). Lesson learned folks ;) If you want to find out more on Eve Isambourg, you can find everything we discussed in the show notes of the episode. You can find them on your listening device (iTunes or Stitcher), on my website www.theoceanriderspodcast.com or on Medium.com where I publish all my episodes too (look for Imi Barneaud or The Oceanriders Podcast). Talking about dream jobs, since the episode was recorded, Eve's I Speak Blue Too campaign earned her a place on the Peace Boat that took a bunch of young activists on a transatlantic adventure from Stockholm to the icebergs of Greenland and then on to New York where she held a talk in front of leaders at United Nations!!! When having to chose between getting a job or making jobs, Eve is clearly on the path to making many many jobs. Her #ISpeakBlueToo campaign also earned her a collaboration with an exclusive range of T-Shirts distributed by Savage Clothing You can find all the things we mentioned in this episode in the show notes of your app or on my website www.theoceanriderspodcast.com and on medium.com To connect with Eve, the best place to start is Instagram. She changed her instagram handle this summer, you can look her up @theecoblogger and I really recommend joining her 5000+ followers to get daily inspiration on eco-activism. You can find her articles on her blog www.sharewitheveisambourg.wordpress.com and on her YouTube channel and also on the magazine she collaborates with www.immersion.surf At one point in the conversation, we mention the ONG Bye Bye Plastic Bags, you can find out more about them on Instagram and on their Facebook Page. Thank you ever so much Eve for being such an awesome guest. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did recording it. In the meantime, take care, have fun and enjoy the waves! Ciao!

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you lived on a boat? What about if you spent your life working toward that most idealistic goal of all: World Peace? We all dream about our a better world, but working for community groups or NGOs is often a life of very little pay and even less payoff. So why would someone with experience and opportunities continue to do it for years?In this episode, we bring you Caspar's conversation with activist-interpreter Daniel Read. Dan lives in Japan, but travels the world working as an interpreter for a non-governmental organisation called Peace Boat - a cruise ship that blends education, tourism and activism together as a vehicle for change. As a founding member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Peace Boat's work has, among other things, contributed toward the receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. Dan and Caspar discuss his work as an interpreter in international dialogue and his passion for educating people about differences in the world. Dan also shares his struggle with NGO work and the challenge in affecting real change on complex issues.This episode was produced and edited by Nina Roxburgh and features music by Big Gigantic.

Nothing makes me more blood red irate than incompetent people deciding my fate. 

Karina Lester, Yankunytjatjara-Anangu woman from South Australia, tells us about her work to reclaim, revive and maintain Aboriginal languages.Karina's late father was blinded by the nuclear testing program in the 1950s. The Lester family have played an enormous role speaking out against nuclear dangers, from nuclear weapons to radioactive waste.Karina explains the critical role of language in knowing and protecting country, as evidenced by the successful Irati Wanti campaign to prevent the construction of a radioactive waste dump, led by Aboriginal women with special knowledge.This talk was recorded aboard the Peace Boat's recent voyage to Oceania.The Jabiluka calendars mentioned in the show are available for $12 online at Marrawuddi Gallery.Music by the Brolga Boys and Combat Wombat.Image of Karina Lester speaking at Making Waves in Sydney, Redfern Community Centre, by John Janson-Moore.

Connection to Country : Fukushima to KintyreOn this weeks show we hear the strong testimony from Kenichi Hasegawa, a Fukushima dairy farmer who’s land, farm, life and community has been destroyed following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster that occurred in March 2011.  Hasegawa’s story was shared at the recent Making Waves event held nationally as part of the Peace Boat visit. Thanks to co-producer, Mara and the Adelaide Making Waves Forum for this recording of Kenichi Hasegawa’s moving testimony.   We will hear the powerful stories from Curtis Taylor, a young Martu leader, filmmaker and screen artist and Desmond Taylor, Martu man who’s connection to country is Kintyre and both share their stories on the threat of uranium mining on their country. Kintyre is on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert and the Little Sandy Desert. It is on the boundary of (and should still be included) in the Karlamilyi National Park.  Kintyre was excised from the Karlamilyi National Park (Rudall River) in 1994 - to allow for future mining.  The proposed Kintyre uranium mine project is jointly owned by Canadian company, Cameco (70%) and Japanese company, Mitsubishi Development (30%).  Cameco, Australia is proposing to construct and operate the Kintyre open-cut uranium mine, 270 kms north east of Newman. The project would include an airstrip, processing plant, waste rock dump, tailings storage facility, offices, accomodation and haul road.Today, they don’t have any final approvals, is not operating, needs further assessment and conditions to be met and the current uranium mine proposal is on hold because of the low uranium price. This proposal is still a long way off but as you will hear still causes significant stress and dissapointment as the Martu are still forced to negotiate over their lands, instead of this beautiful country being protected. The stories on this week’s show are powerful reminders of the damage that Australian uranium can do to the environment and communities both here in Australia and overseas.  We have a chance to learn from Fukushima and to ensure the same mistakes never happen again.  The only way we can sure that Western Australia uranium does not end up in nuclear weapons or radioactive waste is to keep it in the ground, and that is our responsibility.  Thank you Kenichi Hasegawa, Curtis Taylor and Desmond Taylor.

Nu är sommaren här även i kalendern och det ska vi ju självklart fira med ett nytt rykande färskt avsnitt av Fartygspodden, det femte i ordningen! Det är ett avsnitt fullspäckat med kryssningsfartyg. Vi har tittat på dopet av MSC Meraviglia i Le Havre och utifrån det analyserar vi trenden med allt mer påkostade fartygsdop. Vi pratar också om MSC:s helt nya fartygsklass World Class. Vi tittar också närmare på en speciell fartygsbeställning som organisationen Peace Boat lagt i Helsingfors och så hänger vi med Birka till jultomten. Dessutom förklarar vi varför vi aldrig fick någon intervju med kaptenen på Norwegian Getaway som vi blivit lovade i samband med hennes anlöp i Göteborg.  Välkomna ombord!

It's the 40th anniversary Prison's Week, a Christian initiative to support all those affected by prisons. As reoffending rates continue to rise Bob Walker reports on the many faith based groups working in this field and explores their effectiveness. As the death toll continues to rise in Haiti following the devastating impact of Hurricane Matthew. Edward Stourton hears from John Hasse of faith-based charity World Vision who is working on the ground in Haiti. Leading Sikh groups have voiced disappointment after Defence Secretary Michael Fallon ruled out creating a Sikh regiment in the armed forces. Jay Singh-Sohal and Gurdinder Singh debate whether a return to Sikh regiments, once revered for their gallantry in battle, would be step forwards or a step back. Devout Catholic and world renowned composer Sir James MacMillan tells Edward Stourton what inspired him to compose a piece of music based on the Stabat Mater, a 13th century poem about the suffering of Mary as she stands at the food of the Cross. Charles Caroll talks to two 'Hibakusha' - survivors of the two atomic bombs that fell on Japan in 1945 - as they docked in London on the Peace Boat, a Japanese ship which carries a message of peace around the world. Rev David Primrose tells Edward Stourton about a trailblazing project to help churches become 'dementia friendly' and the unique role church communities can play in support people living with dementia.
