"What is your dream?" That was the question Taichi Ichikawa, CEO of World Road, asked 201 young people from 201 countries.
Their answers are captured in his groundbreaking book, “We Have a Dream”, a collection of stories from around the globe focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Taichi’s mission to empower young people quickly expanded beyond the page, inspiring a TV series on the Discovery Channel that showcases these powerful stories.
We explore how Taichi turned his vision into a global platform, building an education and training company, navigating the challenges of cross-cultural storytelling, and harnessing the power of community to drive change.
Join us for an uplifting conversation on dreaming big, resilience, and the power of storytelling to unite 201 countries with one vision.
