LEADERS EXPERTS GLOBAL CITIZENS

Beginning January 2017 the Perception Change Project will bring together world-renowned leaders and experts in a global online discussion centered on the Sustainable Development Goals. The Conversation will be framed in a way that is cross- generational. It is intended to speak to a range of audiences from children and teenagers to university students and adults. Our first Conversation will look to communicate these issues to a younger audience in the hopes that as parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and teachers explore the SDGs with children, they too will come to a better understanding of the importance of the challenges we face as a global community. It’s a bold experiment combining high profile leaders, ambassadors, CEO’s and celebrities with fictional storybook characters. It is our desire that as a leader and expert you will join the adventure and help spark the imaginations of young and old.
