ONE Conversation, the podcast series of the ONE Movement initiative, gets behind the public face of the trade union movement and talks to those working on the frontlines protecting our terms and conditions every day. Some are lay activists holding down a day job, some are employed by our movement whilst others are our friends from other movements, but they all have one thing in common, they find injustice abhorrent and have made a personal decision to strive to correct it.
This series offers listeners the opportunity to hear from a diversity of real voices who have chosen, in different ways, to work on behalf of others to create a better more decent school, college, workplace or community. We may never have heard of them before, but without them we’d have never heard of the student or trade union movements.
Along the way we’ll discuss the challenges of our times whether it is the curriculum, collective bargaining, or climate change, but we’ll talk about it through the lens of the individual activist and its impact in their lives and that of their colleagues, families and friends. We’ll also hear what inspired them to choose this path in the first place and what motivates them to keep struggling for equality and fairness.
The most important part of listening to this podcast series is realising that we all have the capacity to be an activist, the routes in are as varied as our guests, their commonality is that they care. If you care about your life, society and the wider world, tune in, wherever you listen to your podcasts.
