The Making of a Puppet podcast revolves around two main ideas.
Firstly, after working with puppets for six years, we have discovered that puppets allow us to explore imaginative realms as human beings. Puppetry gives us the opportunity to express serious ideas through playful means.
Secondly, we incorporate Indigenous Systems Thinking into our relationships, such as the totem mapping or message stick mapping process. This involves carving messages or stories to build connections. To enhance this process, we have decided to use a puppet as our modern message stick. By making the puppet our constant beacon of light, we take responsibility for it and think intentionally about its significance.
We explore our guests story through emergent conversation and design a puppet together.

Host: Jack Manning Bancroft, CEO and founder of AIME
Guest: François Taddei - founder and president of the Learning Planet Institute
This episode blasted into outer space with Francois from Learning Planet Institute and designed another unique puppet.
The Institute’s mission is to explore, research and share new ways of learning and cooperating in order to respond to the needs of the youth and the planet. By encouraging and disseminating a culture, methods and tools for empowerment, it transforms organisations. Ultimately, it leads communities and supports “Learning Planetizens” to take care of themselves, others and the planet.
