You want to make a difference in the world?
But where do you start?
How can you bring change to the problems you see around you?
How can you play your part in social transformation? How can you help create a more compassionate and just society for all?
Whatever issues you care about and whatever profession you are in, this inspirational, interactive and practical course will equip you with the tools you need to be effective advocates, activists and allies in today’s world.
6-session weekly Live Online Course
The course will convene a small group of aspiring changemakers for one hour a week for six weeks on an online platform. Supplemental reading materials and practical exercises will be provided to help you work through your unique contribution to the world.
Sign up for the whole course by buying a ticket to the first session and you are automatically registered for all the other sessions. Most organisations, businesses and churches should be willing to invest in your professional development to cover the cost, but if you are an individual I can send you a discount code.

Went to see #OneLife last night, telling the story of the incredible Nicolas Winton and the Kindertransport he organised in WW2. If you have opportunity, go and see it! Powerful, moving and inspirational.
