The Veneer of Beliefs & The Prevalence of Resilience
Manage episode 298184667 series 2939822
In this episode, we explore the veneer of beliefs and the prevalence of resilience by looking back through the contexts we’ve discussed so far, from Ghana to Ethiopia, and bringing in a narrative from Rwanda to underline some of the key themes.
This is the 5th episode, which I cheekily equate with the tricky 3rd album in music-industry-metaphor... It’s a moment to pause and reflect and to recap, before we bring Julius Kwami Tsatsu back next week for the final chapter of our dialogue.
In the first segment you’ll hear me bring in examples from my dialogue with Julius to highlight the importance of trust, relationship and congruence, between beliefs, values and ethics held by practitioners and the communities we’re serving, as well as, the veneer that occurs when we don’t create space for practitioners to integrate external concepts with cultural beliefs, values and social norms.
In the next segment I narrate a professional experience in Rwanda, that highlights the impacts of the veneer of beliefs, the ways to crack through and the resilience that is revealed when we do.
Finally, I tie it up in the last segment and underline resilience. A lot!
