  • Summary

  • With global catastrophes multiplying, our sense of belonging is under threat like never before. In an era marked by polarizing discourses, the rise of far-right movements, global armed conflicts, climate collapse and a cascading series of crises, "Patchwork of Belonging" emerges as a vital exploration of what it means to find new - and rediscover old - ways to belong and find connection, in these trying times.

    This podcast weaves together a rich tapestry of stories, blending sound documentary and fiction styles, interwoven with evocative field recordings and poetic storytelling.

    Our environmental and social crises are so entangled that no single solution will suffice, and no one person can set things right alone. Through a collection of narratives from diverse voices from around the world, we delve into the personal and collective journeys of individuals navigating their sense of belonging in tumultuous times. From grassroots activists to community organizers, from climate crisis refugees to indigenous peoples reclaiming their heritage, from artists to farmers, each episode illuminates the struggles and triumphs of those fighting for a place to call home.

    "Patchwork of Belonging" is a testament to the power of interconnected stories and the necessity of solidarity in the face of fragmentation. And it is also a radical act of storytelling, challenging the divisive forces that seek to fragment our societies. It is a space where voices marginalized by mainstream narratives find resonance and power. Each story is a thread in a larger fabric, illustrating how connection to land, culture, and community can be a source of resilience and resistance.

    In the face of growing inequality, environmental degradation, and social injustice, this podcast underscores the necessity of solidarity and mutual understanding.

    Join us as we marry local action and knowledge with global innovation, to restore our sense of belonging, enhance livelihoods, and promote diversity. We envision a world where regenerative alternatives blossom, thrive, and connect, reversing the destructive status quo and offering new ways of being in relationship with our planet and each other.

    "Patchwork of Belonging" invites you to listen, learn, and weave together a more inclusive and compassionate world.
