A World With returns for Season Two

Ever dread your morning commute? If so, you are not alone - for the millions of us around the world that rely on public transport, commutes are often unenjoyable parts of our days. But, what if we could change our chaotic commutes/daily journeys so instead of feeling stressed, anxious and lonely, we instead felt inspired and in community with others and ultimately more joyful?In this episode, community leader and writer Naomi Wharton brings daily transport soundscapes into our lives as a way to “ease everyday hustle culture in big cities and to encourage communities around the world to slow down and reconnect with humans, nature and the environment around them.”Credits:A World With is produced by Futures In Draft.Executive Producer: Chris MitchellCo-Executive Producers: Emily Bromfield and Anjali RamachandranCreative Producer: Isabella PearceLead Producer: Carla FloresScriptwriter: Naomi WhartonVoiceover Artist for season trailers: Sara Mitchell Hosted on Acast.

Imagine a world where those who hold the knowledge and tools to solutions are given the resources and political power to make them. In this episode, Costa Rica based environmental activist Elizabeth Couse, identifies one of the biggest obstacles facing our current climate movement - saviourism - and explores what happens when we remove saviours all together.In this world, we are shown the potential of what could be when a farmer in Costa Rica who has been stewarding the land for generations is treated as an expert and an Indigenous water guardian isn’t a beneficiary of conservation, but its author - a world with true solidarity as our guiding principle.Credits:A World With is produced by Futures In Draft.Executive Producer: Chris MitchellCo-Executive Producers: Emily Bromfield and Anjali RamachandranCreative Producer: Isabella PearceLead Producer: Carla FloresScriptwriter: Elizabeth CouseArtwork and Branding: Darren Garrett and Driss ChaouiVoiceover Artist for season trailers: Sara Mitchell Hosted on Acast.

Did you know that in England, 1% of the population owns more than 50% of the land?In this episode, UK-based writer, grower and organiser Sam Sivapragasam describes a world with land reparations. Sam explores the colonial legacies of land ownership and its impact on the health of global communities. Contrasting their experiences of growing up in both Jamaica and the UK, Sam explores how land reparations would serve as a climate justice solution that demands the remaking of the world.

How can we do better at sharing and reusing the items we already own?In a time of excess, overconsumption and rampant pollution, what if libraries could hold the solutions? We open up the series with Trinbagonian writer, YouTuber and artist Andrew Sage who explores the possibilities of a world with libraries of things. Similar to how libraries around the world make books available, this episode explores what’s possible when we have shared access to a variety of tools, resources and household items. Touching on concepts of sustainability and collectivity, Andrew discusses the potential that libraries of things could offer in helping us to move away from systems of wealth inequality and scarcity to systems of collective care and abundance.For more information, please visit: www.futuresindraft.com.CreditsA World With is produced by Futures In Draft and Storythings.Executive Producer: Chris MitchellCo-Executive Producers: Emily Bromfield and Anjali RamachandranCreative Producers: Maya Minhas and Isabella PearceCo-Creative Producer: Sara BafoArtwork and Branding: Darren Garrett, Driss Chaoui and Naomi GenneryScriptwriters: Andrew Sage, Sam Sivapragasam (LION), Samara Almonte, Sara Bafo, Mohammed Elnaiem (The Decolonial Centre) and Thanu YakupitiyageVoiceover Artist for series trailers: Sara Mitchell Hosted on Acast.
