An 8-point Roadmap to a More Sustainable Future (and how we can all contribute to it)
Event description
As Co-Founder of Global Citizen—an international education and advocacy organization with the mission to end extreme poverty worldwide— Perth born and bred Michael Sheldrick has worked with governments, businesses, foundations, the artist community, and everyday citizens to distribute over $40 billion around the world over the past decade. Now, in From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World, he delivers an inspiring and insightful discussion on how to implement social impact and accelerate real-word impact by driving policy change.
Now based in New York, Michael is back visiting Perth and through this talk will outline an eight-step roadmap offering tools to foster cooperation, build bridges, and drive policy implementation beyond stagnation, conflict, and polarization. It shows us how to put impact first, and resist the urge to pursue the instant dopamine boost that comes from simply winning arguments at all costs.
Michael will equip the audience with the tools to craft impactful narratives that can inspire countless more success stories, reinforcing the idea that we are not prisoners of fate and that actual change begins with us.
This talk will be of interest for students, community members, philanthropists, corporate social responsibility (CSR) practitioners, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) professionals, policymakers, and corporate foundations.
This event is a collaboration between UWA Public Policy Institute, the Forrest Research Foundation, and UWA Development and Alumni Relations
