Podcast Overview

The Actioneers: an Engineers Without Borders Australia podcast exploring how socio-technical professionals are changing the engineering profession and the world. This podcast is a mechanism for communicating our view that engineering is a critical enabler of the changes required to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We believe that the engineering profession can and should work towards changes that allow the planet, including all people and living things, to thrive. The podcast tackles the conventional, narrow perception of engineering with a contemporary vision where ‘soft skills‘ are ‘core‘ skills. We present conversations with socio technical Actioneers who are culture-shifters and changemakers.
