Provost's Lecture: Bill Drayton - Education and Job Creation in a World of Accelerating Change| 48mins
Director: Stony Brook University | Producer: Stony Brook University
Focus Years: 2014 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
Bill Drayton is a 21st century prophet and founder of Ashoka. He and his Ashoka Fellows network of some 3,000 social entrepreneurs in 70 countries have changed our world forever. Interest in and demand for social entrepreneurship programs worldwide and on American college campuses are, as Drayton predicted, accelerating while older organizational models struggle and fail. Drayton, who has degrees from Harvard and Oxford and is a recipient of a National Public Service Award for his extraordinary contributions to social change, will share his insightful view of a “changemaker world,” where people who can’t find jobs go out and create their own meaningful work; where companies value employees whose team work, empathy and leadership “from the inside” help to bring about changes to help them adapt and thrive; and where young people grow up feeling empowered and equipped to bring about new solutions to entrenched social problems. He will also address the urgency of adapting our institutions to make this world a reality as quickly as possible.
