The Story Anew #26 Gwyneth Jones 2022-06-28 | Trina Casey is an American educator, writer, and speaker who has taught worldwide. She has lived and taught in Italy, Indonesia, Amsterdam, and the US. Trina had a passion for writing at a young age. She used her inner child to tap into her imagination to write trauma-informed children’s books that focus on emotional intelligence. Trina created This Real Life books with the encouragement of her son, who loved the bedtime stories she told him every night to help him deal with the self-doubt caused by bullying in school. All of the stories would give him practical tools to deal with the problems he faced at school while reinforcing a positive view of himself. Trina believes EQ in schools could change the world and create more purpose-driven adults. She says on her bi-weekly podcast EQaboveIQ that "we are all children walking around in adult suits pretending we have all figured out while we spread our trauma to everyone we meet, especially our children!

Sustainability and Education: Rahul Karanpuriya, Travellers University. The Story Anew #13 Gwyneth Jones 2021-09-14 | Rahul is a poet and speaks the language of love. He is a passionate traveler and explorer. Dissatisfied with the existing system, from an early age, he often found himself pondering over real issues of education, social injustice, the role of money etc. When he realized his questions and inquisitiveness did not have a place in his education setup, he decided to walk out of it in pursuit of learning from alternative modes of education and worked with various grassroots movements to deepen his knowledge. He extensively travelled across India and created a gap year project ‘52 Parindey’ to bring out the stories of change by common people and expand his understanding of deeper issues such as climate change, sustainability, and education. Later he started Travellers’ University in 2018. He designs travel based experiential learning programs for youth to lead an intentional life for a sustainable, equitable and just world.www.travellersuniversity.orghttps://52parindey.in/The Story Anew is a podcast and video series in which we'll meet amazing people from all over the world who are working to redefine the dominant narrative of our times - that of infinite growth and consumption.

He is a passionate traveler and explorer. Dissatisfied with the existing system, from an early age, he often found himself pondering over real issues of education, social injustice, the role of money etc. When he realized his questions and inquisitiveness did not have a place in his education setup, he decided to walk out of it in pursuit of learning from alternative modes of education and worked with various grassroots movements to deepen his knowledge. He extensively travelled across India and created a gap year project ‘52 Parindey’ to bring out the stories of change by common people and expand his understanding of deeper issues such as climate change, sustainability, and education.
