Podcasts about Skateistan

Skateistan is an international NGO that uses skateboarding as a tool for education and empowerment. It started with a few children in Kabul who were curious about skateboarding and has now grown into a global movement. The organization focuses on providing fun and inclusive spaces for children and at-risk youth to learn, play, and shape their futures. Skateistan has also created the Good Push Alliance, a social skate network that connects over a thousand skate projects worldwide. The organization emphasizes the importance of play and the valuable life skills that can be learned through skateboarding.

Jakie wartości niesie ze sobą skatebording i jak jazda na desce może pomóc dzieciakom w obozach dla uchodźców, w Palestynie czy Afganistanie? Jak wygląda życie w małej palestyńskiej miejscowości na Zachodnim Brzegu? Wobec dramatycznej sytuacji na Bliskim Wschodzie postanowiliśmy porozmawiać o Palestyńczykach, ale z innej strony, niż się spodziewacie. Gościem odcinka jest Adam Szostek, który pracował jako skateboardingowy wolontariusz m.in. na Zachodnim Brzegu, w obozach dla uchodźców w Grecji, czy Azerbejdżanie.⭕️ ZOSTAŃ NASZYM PATRONEM: https://patronite.pl/dobrapodroz.⭕️ YouTube: Subskrybuj nasz kanał!⭕️‍ Social media: Instagram: instagram.com/dobra_podroz/ Facebook: facebook.com/tudobrapodroz/Organizacje wspomniane w audycji:https://skateistan.org/https://www.skatepal.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/gaza_skate_team/Profil Fb Adama:https://www.facebook.com/AdamSzostekSkateTravelAdventure

Oliver Percovich is the founder of Skateistan which won the Oscar in 2020 for best documentary and a BAFTA. Oliver's story is an amazing example of how one person can create a movement for real change. Oliver is an Australian who decided to go to Kabul with his girlfriend in 2007 with nothing more than a bag of clothes and 3 skateboard decks.  In 2009, Oliver founded Skateistan, which initially operated out of a small skatepark in Kabul. The organisation quickly gained popularity and expanded to include a school that provides free education to children in grades 1 through 9. Skateistan is now providing skateboarding and educational programming to over 4,000 young people each week.Kabul in 2007-09 had a lot of International presence  but nobody really understood what was going on at ground level. Oliver's curiosity and human centred approach meant that he quickly became trusted by the local communities. As soon as he started skateboarding in the streets he became something of a local attraction, especially with the children who were seeing this for the very first time.  Oliver was fascinated how the girls especially, wanted to get involved when local tradition prohibited them from attempting many hobbies. He started using an empty fountain to allow the girls and boys to try skateboarding, (half the population is under 15 years old). He gave the girls preferential treatment to let them try skateboarding yet he only had between 3-7 boards at any one time. The girls quickly became better than the boys in a society that normally promotes the boys first. Oliver also realised that the skateboarding was uniting children from different ethnic and socio economic groups in the area. At this point, little did Oliver realise that he had started a movement.  The challenge for him now was how to scale. Oliver had no resources yet he decided to link the skateboarding to education and schooling whereby he would pay some of the girls $1 each to help teach other girls and also get them off the streets begging and back to school. He was now changing lives! Now he was thinking bigger. After the age of 12 girls and boys needed to be separated in public and so Oliver realised that he needed to try and find an indoor facility to make sure that girls and boys could continue skateboarding in a private facility.  Oliver took advantage of a chance meeting with the incoming President of the Olympic Committee who decided to come and see the sessions at the fountain for himself. He was blown away and decided to give Oliver land for the indoor facility which he had funded by the Canadian Government, again based on an chance meeting. Momentum was now with Oliver, the Norwegian, Danish and German governments now came into the project and  in October 2009 Oliver built the largest indoor sports facility in Afghanistan for children which also included 4 classrooms for the children. Success and social impact led to more success as the facility was seeing 500 kids in a week and Oliver insured that at least 50% of them were girls.  Oliver is an amazing example of resourcefulness over resources and the power of how one person can lead dramatic and sustainable change. Today, Oliver has 12 projects around the world 3 skate schools in Afghanistan. He also has a knowledge sharing network that has inspired a lot of other social skateboarding projects to pop up around the world. He is now connected to over 850 projects in over 100 countries. All resources are available free to these projects as they are not seen as competitors but as an extension to their purpose. Skateistan has received many awards including an Oscar for Best Documentary and a BAFTA. https://skateistan.orgYou can also find Oliver and Skateistan on Insta, Facebook and LinkedIn

This week's guest on The New P&L – Principles & Leadership in Business podcast is the awesome Oliver Percovich, founder and Executive Director of Skateistan. A lifelong skateboarder, Oliver moved to Afghanistan from Australia in 2007 when his then girlfriend took a job in Kabul. Looking to explore, he would skate the city, and street-working kids would follow him around and ask to try. In 2008, Oliver founded Skateistan, a grassroots 'Sport for Development' project on the streets of Kabul. Today, Skateistan is an award-winning international organization with Skate Schools and programs running in Afghanistan, Cambodia, South Africa, Jordan, Lebanon and Belgium, to name a few. The organization is the first international development initiative to combine skateboarding with educational outcomes. Skateistan's programs are for children aged 5 to 17 with a focus on girls, children living with disabilities and those from low-income backgrounds. Through their innovative programs, Skateistan aims to give children the opportunity to become leaders for a better world.

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com My guest this week is Skateistan founder Ollie Percovich, who I welcomed back for his second appearance on the show. I first chatted to Ollie in May 2018 in the dim, distant pre-Covid era, and in the intervening months it's fair to say much has changed for Ollie and the community he's spent so long establishing. The first event was, obviously, Covid, which understandably had a huge impact on a none-profit with operations and staff all over the world. The second was the recent geopolitical upheaval in Afghanistan, which it is booming clear has changed the country significantly - and had an enormous impact on the work Skateistan have been carrying out in the country. Back in August, when it became apparent just how serious the unfolding events in Afghanistan were, I contacted Ollie to see if he'd be interested in coming back on the show to discuss the entire situation. I've got such admiration for Ollie. His selflessness, positivity and belief in the power of community look more prescient with every passing year, and is needed now than ever right now. Obviously this is a highly sensitive topic (not least because Ollie and his colleagues are still working in the country), so we had to tread carefully in the way we discussed the issues.

What connects one of the US's most successful surf and snow festivals, Red Bull's launch in the US; an international non-profit organisation that uses skateboarding and education to empower children and a number of environmental and ocean protection agencies? The answer is the inexhaustible force that is Mr Vipe Desai. Right from his early days as a surfshop retailer to his launching of the H2O Winter Classic event and Red Bull in the US; to his role as board director and master business strategist to multiple companies and his social and environmental advocacy with Skateistan, the Business Alliance for Protecting the Pacific Coast, Vote The Ocean, and the Ocean Institute - Vipe has always been at the cutting edge of business strategy, innovation and creativity, and environmental advocacy. This week, in a wide ranging conversation, we discuss with Vipe how we reconcile the size of the environmental challenges we have with the impact a single company can make on them; the importance of trust in the collaborative process as government, citizens and companies come together to address environmental issues; overuse of the term 'disruptive' in the buisness discourse and what actually defines it, and what the future looks like for retail in a post-Covid world.

Oliver Percovich first skated in an empty pool at the age of six, while growing up in Papua New Guinea. In 1995 he competed in the Mystic Cup, an international skateboarding contest in Prague. Prior to a life-changing move to Kabul, Oliver worked at the Centre for Risk and Community Safety on emergency management projects for various Australian government departments. In 2007 Oliver moved to Afghanistan from Australia when his girlfriend took a job in Kabul. Bored, he would skate the beleaguered city, and became a sort of pied half-piper, attracting street kids who would follow him around and ask for rides. Shortly after, Oliver founded Skateistan, a grassroots 'Sport for Development' project on the streets of Kabul. Today, Skateistan has more than 50 employees worldwide and is an award-winning international organization with projects in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa. The organization is the first international development initiative to combine skateboarding with educational outcomes. Skateistan is non-political, independent, and inclusive of all ethnicities, religions and social backgrounds, offering both skating and general education classes for over 1000 boys and girls each week. Learn more about Oracle for Startups(Interviewed by StartupGrind's Chris Joannou).

American Director Carol Dysinger wins an Oscar for revealing the resilience of young Afghan girls with an unlikely second chance at an education.Read the full article here on The Outdoor Journal. With an all-female crew of three Western women and two Afghan women, Carol gained unprecedented access into the lives of the young girls of Skateistan. She won the Academy Award in the Best Documentary (Short Subject) category for Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You're a Girl) at the 92nd annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on February 9.Afterward, Carol was whisked away to the after-parties to hobnob with the likes of Mark Ruffalo and Keanu Reeves. Carol has wrestled with one of the central themes of Learning to Skate in a Warzone - limited access to women - throughout her entire career. The film industry has historically excluded women from the director's chair and, conspicuously, the nominees for best director of a feature film were all men. Over her lifetime, Carol has maintained a passionate interest in examining the relationship between civil rights abolition and the women's movement. In fact, she even carries a copy of the Constitution in her purse at all times. Over the past 15 years, she has filmed in Afghanistan. Her previous work, Camp Victory Afghanistan is well-known for its portrayal of US National Guard troops struggling through cultural barriers to train the local Afghan national army. In deciding to take on this Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone project, Carol recognized and appreciated the systemic problems that Skateistan was willing to take on - access to education and illiteracy.As a teacher herself, at NYU's Tisch Graduate Film program, Carol innately connected with the educators and students at Skateistan. In this episode of The Outdoor Journal Podcast, Carol discusses what it was like to embed herself within a culture with antiquated traditions about women's rights, how she instantly connected with the young girls on Skateistan, and her experiences both on stage and behind the scenes at the Oscars.For more stories like this, visit The Outdoor Journal.

It all started with one man, Oliver Percovich, and his three skateboards on the streets of Kabul in 2007. His idea became Skateistan, the first international development initiative to combine skateboarding with educational outcomes. Although it started in Afghanistan, Skateistan now runs in Cambodia and South Africa too, reaching thousands of children and youth. What started with a board and four wheels is now an award-winning, international NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) with the mission of empowering children and youth through skateboarding and education.

“If you want to start solving problems in Afghanistan, in my mind, you have to start by building trust, and that was happening through these girls that had a chance to skateboard, and make friends with girls the same age and from different backgrounds.” -Oliver Percovich, Founder of Skateistan Oliver Percovich is the Founder and Director of Skateistan, an award-winning international organization with Skate Schools and programs running in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa. Skateistan’s programs focus on girls and children from low-income backgrounds. Through its innovative programs, Skateistan aims to give young people the opportunity to become leaders for a better world. A group of girls from Skateistan were recently the subjects of an Oscar award-winning short documentary, Learning to Skateboard in an Active Warzone (if you're a girl). In this episode of Stories of Transformation, we get the backstory from Oliver (who appropriately goes by "Ollie"), on how he went from skating just as a fun and challenging hobby, to founding an international organization that is transforming the lives of at-risk youth, especially young girls, through skateboarding and arts-based education. His story shows us the powerful effects of giving young girls from all different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds a chance to freely express themselves in a safe environment.

Oliver Percovich is the founder of a non-profit organization called Skateistan. Skateistan uses skateboarding and education for youth empowerment. Since 2007 Ollie has been using his skateboard to break down social, economic, racial, and gender barriers in Afghanistan, Cambodia & South Africa. I first heard about Ollie and his cause while listening to an episode of Jamie Thomas's podcast Thrill of it All. It wasn't the fact that Ollie had created an award-winning NGO that captured my attention but rather his persistence to pursue what many would say is impossible. So I tracked him down to hear the account first hand and ask a few hard questions.

Full episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Like most people, I got my first introduction to Skateistan back in 2010 following the release of To Live And Die in Kabul, Orlando von Eisendel’s documentary about the early years of the charity. So what is Skateistan? Set up by Aussie skater Oliver Percovich, Skateistan is an international non-profit organisation providing programmes that use skateboarding to provide education and safe spaces for kids from low-income backgrounds in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa. When Ollie first established the charity back in 2008, it was a true outlier, an eccentric idea dreamed up by a diehard skater keen to explore just how, as he puts it, ‘skateboarding could be more broadly utilised’. Today, Skateistan is one of the most high-profile action sports charities in the world. It counts legends like Tony Hawk and Jamie Thomas as supporters, and has pioneered the idea of using activities like skateboarding as a transformative force, and a metaphor through which to engage with at-risk communities. So how exactly did Ollie do it? How did he use skateboarding to create such a visionary, positive organisation? That exactly what I wanted to find out when I sat down with him at the recent Pushing Boarders event in London, and our conversation covers all this, and plenty more. Sure, we dig into the history of Skateistan. But we also explore big themes, about finding a sense of purpose, the importance of community in an increasingly globalised world, how individuals can find their own place in the world with meaning, and the universality of human experience. It is inspiring stuff, and the other thing that becomes clear is that Ollie Percovich is a man of action, somebody who dreams big and has channelled his own ‘nervous energy’ and desire to make a difference into one of the most positive movements in skateboarding. Dig in for an essential conversation with one of the most inspirational figures in modern action sports. Thanks as usual to Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.

Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For the fifth episode of the Looking Sideways podcast I spoke to Oscar-winning documentary maker and snowboarder Orlando von Eisendel, a week after he’d picked up the award for Best Short Documentary for his film The White Helmets at the ceremony in LA. We talked about how it feels to win an Oscar, how Orlando made the evolution from snowboard film-maker to Academy Award winner, how action sports are the ideal proving ground for creatives, and much, much more. He also dished up come great advice for young creatives, and some brilliant tales from the making of The White Helmets, Virunga and Skateistan. As you may suspect if you’ve seen any of his films, Orlando was generous with his time, and great company. For anybody interested in hearing how a world-renowned artist got his start through snowboarding, it’s a must-listen. Thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (linguistine.com) for the theme tune.

Skateistan is 'n skool in Johannseburg waar kinders leer om skaatsplank te ry. Die inisiatief het in Afghanistan begin en oorgespoel na Suid-Afrika. Die wêreldberoemde skaatsplankkampioen, Tony Hawk, beskryf die liefdadigheidsorganisasie as 'n plek waar kinders lewensvaardighede aanleer en hoop kan kry vir die toekoms. Christelle van Tonder het by een van die afrigters van Skateistan, Kelly Murray, gaan leer om skaatsplank te ry.

When a building is bombed, a group of volunteers known as the White Helmets rush to the scene to dig through rubble to find survivors. In a conflict known for its never-ending descent into depravity, this one group stands apart as true servants of humanity.    On the line to discuss their work is Orlando von Einsiedel, who directed the new Netflix documentary "The White Helmets." The film follows members of the Aleppo contingent of the Syrian Civil Defense Corps as they go on rescue and training missions.   The White Helmets are unarmed and apolitical. But as Russia and Syrian forces have intensified the battle for eastern Aleppo, the White Helmets have increasingly been a target themselves. In the last week alone, four of their bases in Aleppo have been targeted and they are often the victims of a bombing strategy known as "double tap" in which a second bomb is unleashed on a civilian target just as rescue workers are arriving on the scene.    In this conversation, director Orlando von Einsiedel -- whose credits include the documentaries Virunga and Skateistan -- describes the work of the White Helmets and his decision to make them the subject of his newest film.
