Podcasts about World Refugee Day

Today's show is all about perspective. First, Phil offers his perspective on the news stories fans send him on social media about Icelandic cucumbers and water buffalos, and how they compare to articles he actually likes about robotic mushrooms and avoiding gluteal amnesia. Then, a recent article explores our culture's focus on products, practices, and apps designed to increase our happiness, and why focusing on happiness is a sure way to miss it. And Christine Emba's latest article in The Atlantic looks at why government support and financial incentives have failed to reverse declining birthrates in many countries. She argues the decision to have children isn't about money but meaning. Then Amy Low shares about her memoir “The Brave In-Between” and the perspective she's gained by living with a terminal cancer diagnosis for five years. Plus, Skye and Mike Erre have different perspectives about holiday decorations.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Amy Low: https://www.patreon.com/posts/111819242/    0:00 - Intro   1:52 - Show Starts   2:52 - Theme Song   3:14  - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/HOLYPOST to receive 50% off your first order   4:19 - Sponsor - Go to https://www.fromourplace.com and use code HOLYPOST to get 10% off site wide on beautiful cookware!   5:28 - Holiday Decor Disagreements   11:56 - Wounded Water Buffalo   15:11 - Tiktok Blamed for Cucumber Shortage   18:22 - Mushrooms Piloting Robot Hands   22:25 - Dead Butt Syndrome   28:09 - Does Tracking Happiness Make Us Miserable?   41:07 - Is the Decline of Birth Rates Really Economic?   58:45 -  Sponsor - Faithful Counseling - This episode is sponsored by Faithful Counseling.

On World Refugee Day, Carnegie Council hosted a critical discussion on enhancing multilateral cooperation at the intersection of climate change and human mobility, the second event in the Council's “Unlocking Cooperation” series. As extreme weather events and rising sea levels increasingly threaten coastal and island populations, particularly Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the panel will explore the urgent need for innovative and inclusive policies, guided by ethical considerations, to address climate-induced displacement and migration. The discussion featured Ambassador Ali Naseer Mohamed, permanent representative of the Republic of Maldives to the UN, alongside experts from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the New York Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The conversation was moderated by University for Peace's Ramu Damodaran. For more, please go to: https://carnegiecouncil.co/climate-change-mobility

Refugees seeking safety from conflicts and international problems have been coming to Alaska for decades, but in recent years, the number of people resettling in the state has jumped significantly, bringing families and individuals to new communities all across Alaska.

We discuss welcoming new neighbors, and celebrating World Refugee Day on this Talk of Alaska.

Today, Pastor Michael Acock and Pastor Nene Peter share biblical thoughts and reflections on World Refugee Day, which happens each year on June 20.  Michael and Nene discuss the refugee crisis, emphasizing the church's role in providing hope and healing. They share stories of refugees finding solace in the church community and stress the importance of treating refugees with love and compassion. Referring to biblical teachings, they urge the congregation to show grace and seek justice for refugees, highlighting the humanity behind the statistics. The sermon calls for a shift in perspective to view refugees as neighbors in need and an opportunity for the church to truly live out its purpose. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at our website.  Subscribe to us at our YouTube channel, on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify. You can also visit us at Facebook or Instagram. This was recorded live on June 23, 2024 in Columbia, Missouri at Christian Fellowship Church.

The UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, recorded that 117.3 million people were forcibly displaced at the end of 2023 due to conflict, violence, or climate-related disasters - a record number.  In light of World Refugee Day last week, Dr Ritesh Shah, a senior lecturer of comparative and international education in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland, says that the global refugee crisis is a symptom of a failed global system.  Host Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Ritesh about the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, which provides the internationally recognized definition of a refugee and outlines the legal protection, rights and assistance a refugee is entitled to receive, as well as the global refugee crisis more generally.

Uganda is home to over 1.5million refugees, whereas many arrive under difficult circumstances, many have gone ahead to settle in and establish their livelihood through different projects.Ahead of the World Refugee Day, Business in 15 speaks to Derrick Kyambadde the Supervisor Social Projects at Equity Bank Uganda Limited about the impact they have created through supporting refugees access financial inclusion and empower themselves. The project that seeks to create self-sufficiency and increase economic stability in refugee settlements has so far benefited 350,000 refugees in 9 refugee settlements across the country.

This week, Outrage + Optimism celebrate World Refugee Day with an interview with Gaia Vince. The hosts discuss how extreme heat, floods or natural disasters cause tens of millions of people to leave their homes behind. They look at how climate migration is happening now and will only happen faster and with greater impact. With each degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced and huge swathes of the world will become uninhabitable. Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century: How to Survive the Climate Upheaval talks to the hosts about the need for what she calls ‘honest pragmatism about human mobility'. With Gaia's steer, the hosts and Gaia discuss ways we might manage this inevitable movement of people; why the right wing, anti-immigration narrative might resonate but is not rooted in the fact that migrants historically enrich societies, both culturally and financially, and how to implement long-term solutions rather than patch-ups.     NOTES AND RESOURCES   Please fill out our 2024 Listener Feedback Survey!

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay - an international day designated by the UN to honour refugees around the globe. World Refugee Day feels especially relevant at Media Storm, because refugees make one of the strongest cases for this podcast's existence. They are one of the groups characterised most frequently and most voicelessly in our mainstream media, and consequently, clouded by myth. Joining us to bust some of the biggest myths about refugees are two people with lived experience - Journalist, Editor-in-Chief at Egyptwatch, and host of the podcast Untold Stories, Osama Gaweesh - and Afghan journalist, newsreader, and women's rights activist, Zahra Shaheer. We talk about what the mainstream news media so sorely lacks - the focus on inclusion, positivity, and solutions. Plus, we discuss the biggest story in UK immigration and election news - the Tories' Rwanda deportation deal.

The conflict in Sudan between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which broke out on April 15, 2023, has caused the world's largest humanitarian crisis and the displacement of over 9 million people.

Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June. Today, we are honored to welcome Drocella Mugorewera, a corporate trainer, best selling author, and former refugee with an awe-inspiring story. Drocella takes us on an emotional journey through her tumultuous experiences during the Rwandan genocide, detailing the tragic loss of her sister's husband and the harrowing escape to the Democratic Republic of Congo with her infant son. Join us as Drocella shares invaluable insights on freedom, leadership, and the importance of empathy in healing and reconciliation. She reflects on her roles in Rwanda's government, advocating for gender and environmental sensitivity and championing impactful initiatives, including banning plastic bags and granting women land inheritance rights. In this episode, Drocella also speaks about the challenges and joys of adapting to new environments—the journey from Rwanda to Ukraine and then to the United States as a refugee in 2009. She emphasizes the critical role of kindness and community support in rebuilding lives, recounts her rise to director of the refugee agency that welcomed her, and delivers an inspiring message on the significance of diversity, inclusion, and empathy in leadership. Get ready for a heart-wrenching yet hopeful narrative that underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the unwavering importance of compassion and understanding in our global community. Be sure to subscribe, share, and join us in celebrating the unbreakable strength of individuals like Drocella Mugorewera. Drocella is an advocate for the sanctity of life and a poignant voice on the global stage, shaped profoundly by her experiences in Rwanda, a country that endured the catastrophic genocide against the Tutsi, with a devastating toll of at least 1 million lives lost. Deeply reflective, Drocella critiques those who claim to be pro-life yet fail to embrace diverse perspectives, fostering an environment where true pro-life principles are questioned. Her journey and thoughts are encapsulated in her co-authored book, "Leaders with Heart." Here, Drocella challenges leaders to genuinely uphold the value of life by being open to ideas, promoting shared growth, and understanding life not just as an abstract concept but as a lived experience full of contributions from all voices. For Drocella, life is an invaluable gift that must be cherished and protected in every corner of the world. Her advocacy is not only about preserving life but ensuring the quality and inclusivity of this precious existence, inspired by the resilience and learnings from Rwanda's tragic history.   00:00 Life is valuable, open to diverse ideas. 04:02 Respect for every human life is essential. 09:48 Returned to serve after upheaval, found support. 11:50 Rose served in various high-level government positions. 16:00 Embrace diverse ideas, trust, reassure, and respect. 17:34 Leaders need empathy, protect people, promote peace. 22:10 Learned, graduated, married, now promoting language diversity. 26:29 Value refugee's ideas, treat others with respect. 27:22 Hold accountable, remind using media, value-driven elections. 31:59 Invest in training, engage employees, celebrate results. 35:45 Grateful for refugee program support and hope. 38:23 Exciting interview process, discussed vision and benefits. 42:03 Fleeing parent secures children's future in Canada. 46:45 Volunteer work helped build lasting relationships. 48:48 Love surpasses your own, welcoming children home. 51:00 Generous support allowed us to buy car. 57:15 We value life and family, want legacy. 58:43 Generosity and caring promote peace and unity.   Connect with Drocella  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drocellamugoreweradia/   Connect with Reena bettercalldaddy.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/reenafriedmanwatts/ https://www.instagram.com/reenafriedmanwatts/ https://www.instagram.com/bettercalldaddypodcast/ twitter.com/reenareena

This year's Refugee Week theme, "Finding Freedom," with a focus on family, captures the profound journey of resilience, strength, and unity that characterises the refugee experience in a world marked by displacement and the search for safety. This Refugee Week, the highlight is families playing a vital role in giving those who are forced to flee their homes comfort, support, and a sense of belonging.
