Some great takeaways from Karl:

• There is a bright future ahead. It can be yours to create.

• Technology has been knocking at our door for quite some time and nobody really minds it til now!

The Change Makers are doing a fundraiser for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center. A platform designed to teach you how to create safe space for deep-dive conversations that open up for the conscious and unconscious bias behaviours, placing ourselves and others into boxes, that places our focus on what separates us as human beings, not what unites us.

Your help is highly appreciated.
