The Just for a Change podcast is back with a brand new season to provoke and inspire! Presenting Season 4 of the Just for a Change podcast powered by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship which explores the theme “The Power of Connections”. The pursuit of social justice requires the effort of many, and in the work that the Bertha Centre does we have noticed powerful intersections driving society towards positive change. Instead of working in silos, collaboration across our focus areas of Health, Youth, Finance, Systems Justice and more has proven to be most effective for sustainable impact. In this new season, discussions with social entrepreneurs, innovators, thought leaders and activists spotlight the unexpected connections, surprising overlaps, and unusual alignments in the work being done locally and globally to uplift and empower our society. Topics range from getting a second chance at finishing high school, to learning to feed yourself to empower communities, mitigating the impacts of climate change on Global South regions through interventions, research into recycling waste for agriculture, and the role representation plays in empowering communities. Among our guests are entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, grassroots organisations, NPOs, impact investors, start-up founders - as well as mothers, fathers, cousins, sisters and daughters - with real stories of personal triumph and innovative problem-solving that offer sparks of hope towards a more just society for all. Our podcast host Ntombini Marrengane, Bertha Centre’s Senior Manager, is an urban researcher and international development specialist passionate about better understanding how governance shapes the trajectory of African cities. If you’re curious about a better world for all and the solutions being put forward to combat today’s biggest challenges, then this podcast is for you! Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
