Global Shapers Sydney invites you to an evening for those who care about the world and are willing to step up to take actions big and small to make it better. We are delighted to host the Sydney launch of global humanitarian Aaron Tait's new memoir Far Horizons: A Journey From War to Peace on Friday the 21st November from 5.30pm - 7:00 at Canva Space. Drinks & nibbles will be served.

Tickets are $5 or $20 (with a signed copy of Far Horizons included).

Aaron Tait has been a teenage soldier, a humanitarian, social entrepreneur and explorer in over 70 countries, and his latest book, ‘Far Horizons’ traces the long road home from conflict to connection, from service to purpose and is a reminder that the bravest thing any of us can do is keep our hearts open.

In the hours after September 11, 2001, Aaron deployed to the Persian Gulf as a seventeen-year-old military officer. Far Horizons is the story of what happened next, a globe-spanning coming-of-age memoir of a fighter turned peace-seeker on a vibrant journey of transformation, adventure and love.
