Intertwined Tales: Foundation of a public argument

Intertwined Tales: Foundation of a public argument

Author: vijayalakshmi balakrishnan August 31, 2021 Duration: 8:07

When writing the story of education, it becomes impossible, to not address the issue of child labour. Just as when telling the story of child labour, it is not feasible, to not engage with the education system. The two tales are linked, one blends into the other, measuring one, provides the framework for success on another. This insight, would lead to the framing of the important public argument, All Children out of school are child labourers. 


Hosted by vijayalakshmi balakrishnan, Baroque offers a thoughtful space for reflection on the complex world of public policy. The title itself is a metaphor for a deliberate pause-a moment to step out of the daily rush, consider the path already traveled, and use that perspective to see the road ahead more clearly. Each episode is built around conversations with influential figures who have shaped policy from various angles. You’ll hear their personal stories and the lessons learned from their unique journeys, moving beyond abstract theory to the real art and craft of decision-making that affects communities and nations. This podcast sits at the intersection of business and the non-profit spirit, exploring how policy is formulated, challenged, and implemented. It’s not about quick takes or headlines, but about the deeper narratives and human experiences behind systemic change. Tune in for a series that values depth over speed, offering listeners a chance to engage with the nuanced thinking that guides our shared societal structures.
