✨ Training opp: sounddelivery’s Spokesperson Network Programme! The programme equips 14 people with the skills/confidence/networks to share their lived experiences with the media, have their expertise heard more widely, and ultimately drive change. The Spokesperson Network includes our director Clare, who said working with the previous cohort was a highlight of the year. It’s vital that people with firsthand experience of social inequality are leading the big conversations about our society – and that we fight the barriers currently blocking them out.

This time last year #AMileinMyShoes had just opened at the Australian National Maritime Museum, sharing a collection of new stories from Australia’s diverse immigrant and refugee communities. Got us thinking also about this fragment from academic Andrea Witcomb, which the museum’s curator Kim Tao cited while we were making the project: “Affect works through evoking, moving or touching the viewer, producing a visceral response that promotes empathy rather than just simply sympathy.

Today is our last in Cluj-Napoca – but there’s still plenty of time to visit #AMileinMyShoes if you haven’t yet! We’re at Str. Roosevelt 2/1 from 16h – 21h. And may we especially recommend walking in the shoes of the five local Cluj people whose stories we collected for the occasion?! It’s a special feeling to hear the voice and wonder if it belongs to that person hurrying past you, or that person sitting on the bench, or that person standing staring at you for wearing massive fluffy slippers in downtown Cluj…
