Idea: Does activism make a difference?
A Talk about turning purpose into action.
Our emotions undoubtedly play a role in motivating, sustaining, and shaping personal activism. But what are the ways in which social, cultural, and personal experiences lead to individual purpose—is that how a movement begins? This session, presented in partnership with WTTW, will examine the meaning of purpose and the defining moments that transform it into action.
