I’m Spencer Hall filling in for Don Shafer at the conversation lab.  In 2011, Daniel Kingsbury and his band founded an organization called The Jellyfish Project, an organization that harnessed the power of live music to inspire kids to address climate change. This week his mother, Bronia Kingsbury and Naomi Fleschhut, executive director, join us to discuss the groups background, their current initiatives, and how you can get involved.

Craig Johnson - Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership

The Conversation Lab is a weekly radio program that airs on CFRO FM in Vancouver and available on all podcasting platforms. Its focus is on giving community groups, non-profit organizations, and changemakers a voice to talk about those things that are most important to them. Learning how to build bridges into different communities seems critical as we explore the uneven development of colonialism and global capitalism in our community. These conversations are organized by Don Shafer who is a veteran broadcaster and Ph.D. Student, at UBC's Social Justice Institute. He is studying the science, psychology, cultural, and emotional components of conversation and what they have in common to gain insight and improve on existing knowledge of how we engage with each other whether about climate, race, gender, culture, politics, or social justice issues to contribute to positive social change.CFRO FM (Co-op Radio) is located in Vancouver's downtown eastside on the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations where we are grateful to be able to do this work.
