Our podcast
PH-I Against The Odds is our podcast to share from human dignity defenders and civil society organizations from around the world how they build their capacity, ability, and capability, as well as confidence to successfully promote, defend, and protect human dignity. With an average of 15 minutes in length, all episodes are short enough to make the most out of your lunch breaks, public transport, or car rides, or just while walking home, but long enough to inspire and learn.
While the podcasts are produced in English and hosted on an external site, we do our utmost to keep our promise of accessibility to knowledge regardless of the language you speak. We therefore list the transcripts of the podcasts here for those who do not understand English.
Mentoring & Coaching as an effective tool to advance human dignity
The topic is around the importance of supporting and nourishing each person’s individual strengths to improve the impact of human dignity work. Providing those you work with or participating yourself in opportunities for training and capacity building is one of the mainstream ways how to better identify and use your individual strengths. Another still very much unexplored way in the human rights sector lies in personal mentoring and coaching. We are honored today to have Vicki Prais on the microphone. Vicki is an award-winning human rights lawyer and independent human rights consultant with over 28 years of experience, stretching from working with civil society organizations such as Penal Reform International, international actors such as the Council of Europe or the United Nations, or government actors such as the UK government. She is also an avid defender of the importance and value of mentoring and coaching and offers individual coaching sessions for human rights defenders.

The role of partnership for successful human dignity work from exile
The notion of partnership is a wide topic, and regularly discussed in the context of a good donor relationship, the generation of lasting impact, or others. Upholding high-quality partnerships are not an easy undertaking, but when doing so from exile, it is even more challenging and crucial. Stephen Nyein Han Tun is a social scientist and anthropologist, and he is also a human rights defender from Myanmar now in exile in Thailand. In this episode of our podcast PH-I Against the Odds, he will share with us his experiences on the importance of partnerships for successful human dignity work from and in exile.
