BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, with Cathy Macdonald

Eco-anxiety, the power of protest, and acts of worship inspired by Nelson Mandela.

How to deal with eco-anxiety; the power of protests and how far they should go; acts of worship inspired by Nelson Mandela; and navigating healthy relationships.

With recent record breaking temperatures hitting the UK, climate change is never far from our minds. Young people are especially concerned about the future of the planet, which is resulting in the rise of eco-anxiety. Psychotherapist Caroline Hickman and climate activist Laura Young explore the emotional response to climate change and how to remain hopeful. 

As part of the100 Scottish Stories project, Alex McCallum shares the story of his inspirational mum who went on a crusade to improve the health of the people in Scotland.

Edinburgh singer and entertainer Frankie Mack recalls how a moment of sharing a mic with crooner Michael Buble changed his life, and why he’s got his father to thank for filling his life with music. 

Aiming to increase visibility and mainstream awareness of the various disabled communities across the country, this month marks Disability Pride Month. Campaigner Susan Archibald and Sanjeev Mann, music producer and journalist, discuss what the month means to them and the impact that it has for people living with disabilities. 

From Sri Lanka to the United States, different forms of protesting have hit the headlines in recent weeks. Reverend Iain Whyte, a life-long campaigner who was active in the Anti-Apartheid and U.S. Civil Rights movements, and Briana Pegado, an activist and interim CEO of YWCA Scotland, join Cathy Macdonald to look at the effectiveness of protesting and how far we can take it. 

Activists Reverend Iain Whyte and Briana Pegado give their thoughts on a new YouTube docu-series, The Mandela Project, featuring five young Black artists and performers reflecting on an aspect of Nelson Mandela’s life and how it’s inspired them in an Act of Worship. 

Are we getting any better at navigating healthy relationships and understanding issues around consent? A new report suggests not. YWCA Scotland’s Briana Pegado and Olivia Akindele, from the Young Women Rise advisory group, tell Cathy about The Rise Report, which has found that over a third of young women have experienced abuse in intimate relationships, and how this issue can be tackled.
