Listen up! “Unseen Heroes: Empowering Young Carers” – Episode 3 is out!

It’s that time again: the third episode of the Intergenerational Fairness Day Podcast is available online!

Since the first Intergenerational Fairness Day on 16 November 2023, host and FRFG project manager Lena Winzer has been releasing a new episode of the English FRFG podcast every three months. In line with the current IGJR double issue of 2023, the discussion will centre around a whole new aspect of intergenerational (un)fairness and long-term consequences: “Young Carers.” Once again, Lena has invited some very interesting and high-profile guests for this episode. Among them are Krista Cartlidge, CEO of MYTIME Young Carers from the United Kingdom, Benjamin Salzmann from the Young Carer Center Windschatten Berlin, Tristan Stecker from the Steering Group for Young Carers of the German Professional Association for Nursing Professions from Germany, and FRFG head and speaker of the board Luise Roither. The discussion includes topics such as the effects of caregiving on physical, emotional, social, and academic well-being, as well as approaches that affect the entire family.

All podcast episodes are available online. In the first episode, “Introducing Intergenerational Fairness: A Global Movement,” Lena introduced the topic of intergenerational justice, the action day, and the IFD partner organisations. In the second episode, she invited the FRFG to a discussion on long-term thinking and the work of this NGO. The topics of this episode included intergenerational justice, Walkshops, the Intergenerational Justice Review, and the path to a just world for all generations.
