Description

In this week’s podcast, Richard Dunne speaks to an important guest - Lord John Bird, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Big Issue, who in 2015 became a people’s peer in the House of Lords. Richard is particularly interested in speaking to John about his current campaign around the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill. His own experiences have led John to believe that ultimately, a good education is critical to successful life chances.

‘I don’t want to leave the next generation, and the generation after it, having to suffer the problems that I went through’, he explains. ‘This, to me, is about education.’ With the Future Generations Bill, he hopes to further improve education, and introduce a new kind of pedagogy – one which fosters children’s innate curiosity and passion for knowledge, and nurtures our environmental, social, cultural and economic wellbeing.
