In this episode we return after a long break and introduce our new project planner. Max and Astrid discuss her international relations studies, growing up in Finland, the current problems of racism and how we need to purposefully take a more active approach in including marginalized voices when discussing the global problems we are facing. Max also revisits the story of Global Visions and his own background. Other themes touched upon in this episode include challenging our own western notions and actively seeking solutions from those who have historically not been heard. Including everyone in the conversation means taking the time to actively seek the views of those who are underrepresented, only through inclusion can we begin the work of making the world a better place. This is a core value of our association and we want to be more inclusive in the future, having guests who can offer us diverse viewpoints on global issues. We also discuss why in the times of multiple crises that we are currently facing we need hope and visions of a better future even more. Our Music is Licensed from Premium beat.

On 27th of September 2023 Global Visions organised a panel discussion on the topic of a basic income society i.e. what kind of society would one be in both in practice and theory where a social security reform such as a basic income would be implemented as a permanent solution. Discussing the various angles and perspectives were Signe Jauhiainen, (Senior Reseacher at Kela), Petteri Räty (the chairperson at BIEN Finland), and Heikki Hiilamo (professor of social policy at the University of Helsinki). Max Tallberg, the chairman of Global Visions prepared the ground for the discussion and the debate was moderated by Petri Lahtinen, the project planner at Global Visions.
