Our first D-VIEWS season closes with this very special episode featuring a lively discussion between our very own Hagit Krakow Cherny and Mickey Noam-Alon, two colleagues, friends, and the heart and soul of this podcast, about the ins and outs of communication in the international development and humanitarian sectors.

They highlight the role of pictures and words in shaping public awareness and opinion and how those can do harm—misrepresenting those we work with and hurting their dignity—or become instruments of agency through which to make their voices heard.

Listen to their personal reflections on more than a decade of experience in the sector, memories of pictures that changed history, and the observation that the spread of mobile technology suddenly narrows the gap between communicators and those they seek to represent and, thereby, catalyzes change beyond and behind camera lenses.

Also in this episode: the meaning of real consent between photographer and photographed and what our gut feeling has to tell us when facing challenging ethical decisions.

In this D-VIEWS episode, climate and impact finance professional and founder of The Global Impact Tech Alliance, Leehe Skuler, discusses with our podcast host, Hagit Krakov Cherni, what caused the increased involvement of the private sector in development efforts and how we can work together to create a win-win situation for both.

Understand where catchphrases meet reality and how we can become critically thinking collaboration partners, avoiding both uncritical enthusiasm and uninformed resistance.
