About this episode

Season 2 of Our World, Connected is here! Over 12 episodes, we’ll be building on the discussions we had in season 1, with a new collection of conversations and stories exploring our complex and interconnected world. Topics will include considering the role of local and independent media in supporting societies dealing with conflict, the potential of theatre, film and art to build bridges across borders, and how researchers and scientists are establishing intercultural connections through their work. And what do we mean when we talk about soft power? 

Join Christine Wilson, Director of Research and Insight at the British Council, and her fascinating guests from countries including Brazil, India, Libya, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and the UK. 

If you’re a global citizen, or you’re just curious about the world in 2025, make sure to follow Our World, Connected wherever you get your podcasts to be the first to listen to the new season.
