Description
Design Exchange is excited to host the first in a series of Boldness Dialogues - talking to leaders of change about the challenge - and possibilities - of meaningful change in the 21st century.
Join Ric Young, one of our leading thinkers and practitioners of social change, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Social Innovation at Ryerson U and founder of The Boldness Project in dialogue with Nelson Ole Reiyia, a Maasai man whose personal journey has led him to the forefront of transformational change in East Africa. Nelson, son of a nomadic pastoralist and the first Maasai boy ever to attend high school in the Maasai Mara, has become one of the most respected and catalytic community leaders of his generation, drawing international attention for his work (including an article in the New York Times) and being awarded a Global Good Fund Fellowship. Nelson and Ric are cofounders of Nashulai Maasai Conservancy whose mission is to conserve wildlife, preserve culture, reverse poverty. Nashulai is a bold and enlightened new model for conservation in a 21st century facing catastrophic species loss, cultural extinction, growing poverty and global climate change.Nelson and Ric (who was recently inducted by the Maasai as a respected elder) will be in dialogue with one another and with the audience about bold ideals and bold action, and why place-making is the innovation challenge of our time.
