The GM Moving Podcast

Welcome to the last episode of the Right to the Streets edition of the GM Moving podcast.

Throughout the whole of Right To The Streets initiative and across the last 16 episodes of the podcast, you’ve heard us say again and again that this is not the end. Far from it: it’s just the beginning, and, collectively, it feels like we've really started something.

In this episode, we explore the longer term changes people want to see and how this work can continue to influence wider change across whole systems, from communities, through to policy makers and national government.

We all have a role to play in making our streets and public spaces safer for women and girls.

In the fourth series of The GM Moving Podcast, we've got a second round of Right to the Streets episodes from North Trafford in Greater Manchester as we trailblaze a different approach to street harassment and gender-based violence in public spaces.

Join us on a joyful journey of discovery as this series shares how the Right to the Streets movement has grown and developed, difference it's making and all that we have learned along the way. You'll be hearing from lots of people and partners involved as they shift the dial from fear to freedom.

"I'd say we're the test and learn...when things go wrong we don't get told off for it, we are praised for it, as long as we learn or reflect or go back and try something different."

GM Moving podcast is back for series 2, and this time our host, Eve Holt, speaks to Locality Leads from across Greater Manchester to see how place based working is going in their area. In this first episode Eve speaks to Richard Davis-Boreham, Strategic Director at GreaterSport who leads on the Local Pilot programme for Greater Manchester.

In Manchester, we talk a lot about doing things differently. In this episode, you'll get a sense of what that looks like as we talk about using people-powered performance to influence policy.

Join us as we explore the power of Legislative Theatre, one of the approaches that we took as part of the Right To The Streets project to speak directly to policy and decision-makers - the very people who could then influence changes, at a strategy level, that would help to create safer public spaces for everyone, with a focus on women and girls.
