Sesame Street was a radical innovation when it premiered on November 10, 1969. It transgressed traditional ideas of education and entertainment, of public and private development. It used technology for social change. It was simultaneously communal and corporatist. It became a public good and a brand. Now that Sesame Street is woven into the fabric of childhood—estimates put its lifetime reach at 200 million children—it no longer seems radical. But the show remains at the center of changes in the political economy of education, entertainment media, and cultural politics. Its controversial acquisition by HBO in 2015, which gave subscribers first access to new episodes before public airing, is coming to an end (the Vox article below is a good explainer of the process of producing children's television). I hope Sesame Street can find a new arrangement that continues free and public access to all children. We need more public investment in successes like Sesame Street and especially for the next innovations aimed at serving all children regardless of income. https://lnkd.in/eKci7RsA https://lnkd.in/egikqcmM #SesameStreet #Innovation #ChildrensTelevision #History Sesame Workshop PBS HBO Vox

For my third video this #NationalInclusionWeek, I am reflecting on the powerful message from the TV2 Nord video #AllThatWeShare. We often see ourselves as separate, divided by our differences, but the reality is we have so much more in common than we realise. We all have stories, challenges, and experiences that connect us, and it is only when we take the time to listen and share that we begin to break down those barriers. Inclusion is about recognising that despite our individual differences, we are all part of something bigger; whether it is in our workplaces, communities, or society at large. Inclusion reminds us that we do not need to be the same to stand together. It is through embracing our shared humanity that we create stronger, more understanding, and supportive environments. So, let us celebrate what unites us, rather than what divides us, and continue to make our workplaces and lives more inclusive for everyone. I hope you are continuing to enjoy National Inclusion Week, and I look forward to sharing more thoughts tomorrow. #NationalInclusionWeek #AllThatWeShare #Equality #Diversity #Inclusion #Everyone #CultureMatters

More than £500million a year is being spent on ‘locking up’ people with learning disabilities and autism (LD&A) in hospitals because there ‘isn’t enough funding to support them in their community.’ That was the shocking and sobering revelation on ITV News last night. (You can watch on ITVX here, the report starts at 27 minutes). https://lnkd.in/exeJBzvz We know the best way to help people with LD&A is to provide relevant support for them to explore their interests, build their skills, and be part of their communities. This is why we are committed to providing our community and mentoring programmes and expanding them to reach as many people as possible. £500million is being spent to isolate people with LD&A from the world. This needs to change. It needs to be spent more efficiently to allow LD&A people to lead the life they choose with dignity. With a general election looming, we’re really interested to see what commitments political parties will make in their manifestoes to tackle this to allow people with LD&A to access opportunities they are entitled to.
