#6 The Power of Listening and Education with Junior Soma
We had a deep and joyful talk with Junior Soma from Made in Germany Podcast. This episode can be summarized as the power of listening. Because the way he listens creates magic in this space!
Why do we interview Junior Soma?
Normally Education is associated with school or universities. But nowadays if we think of adult education or life learning--which can happen any time and anywhere, then education is also about personality development, maturation, broadening of horizons and overcoming prejudices. In this sense for me Made in Germany Podcast is an informal educational space at least for three reasons:
First, Made in Germany Podcast gives space to people who don't have space to talk, who have unpopular ideas and biographies. This is already learning for most of the people in Germany who hear such voices for the first time.
Secondly, people with similar biographies like the guest, see in them a role model--someone who has achieved something in the same conditions as they have grown up or live today, so they get empowered and motivated.
And the space itself is a decolonized space where people are threatened with respect, kindness. Junior Soma’s understanding, eye level and empathy towards guests and listeners creates a pleasant atmosphere of giving and taking which is the way how we in education enable growth. This is a condition people need to flourish. I dont think someone who does not have an attitude like Junior’s could motivate guests in this way to share so authentically and to open up!
Some topics we talked about:

From Van to Yerevan, with Dengbêj Gazin and Ashugh Leyli, Kalan Music 2017
Song (Gulê) interpreted by Dengbêj Gazîn : Gulê bav file
Some questions/topics, we have discussed:
How did the journey with Dengbei start; what inspired you to explore so profoundly this topic?
Why Dengbêjî? What led you to researching the particular topics of singing/voice; Dengbêjî; women and work of pain? How would you describe your own perspective on dengbeji culture in terms of your own belonging?
What ethical aspects matter to you when it comes to doing research on indigenous practices? Internal/external positions; gaze; objectivization problematic etc. Do you sometimes have inner conflicts/dilemmas/concerns when you do research on this topic? Are there other conflicting interests in the field you do your research at – between politics, art and research objectivity? How do you deal with critical voices towards what you do? What is the super-power of an external perspective towards a ‘cultural practice’? Would you say your interaction with the practice of Dengbêjîand the field research you have been doing have affected in some way the way you teach in a western academic institution?
#4 Music and Education with Michael Perry
#3 Racism and Education with Ray Shami
The topic of this episode was planned to be discrimination and education as well as the overlapping issues, like identity, gender, sexuality and migration. The topic moved slightly into the topic of racism and education. I have talked to Ray Shami. He is an Syrian - Canadian expert in this field. We have touched many topics including the most important one; the tragic death of George Floyd, an innocent black man who was killed by a policeman in front of public eye. Ray will tell us about his journey all the way from Syria at the age of 16 and his work from being educator, artist, trainer, and now employment councillor and Coach. From his experience till how to empower people, especially queer people of colour, we had a good exchange on all the elements which are or should belong to education. Now you will hear the conversation between me and Ray, and I hope you will get inspiration and motivation. Ray has a great energy. I had chance to work with him 2 years ago in the topic of Human Rights in Weimar at the European Youth Educational Center.
#2 Online Education with Dr. Kim Ochs
It is a complex topic. Together with our guest Dr Kim Ochs, we will focus on Non-Formal Education and Facilitation. Talking about online non formal education will also not be possible without talking about education in general, safety, privacy, the current challenges, and strength in online education. If you are a facilitator and dealing with non-formal education this episode is for you.
Take your seat and let invite education specialist Dr Kim Oks who has plenty of scientific publications, Podcasts, articles, talks on different aspects of education. For me she is the best person who can speak about a holistic online education.
