With the Olympics kicking off, we'll explore how sports can create positive change (if responsibility is built into sporting ecosystems); how major sporting events can drive new norms and lasting change; and of course, what highlights we’re all looking for at this year’s Olympics!
We'll be joined by three Ashoka Fellows in the UK:
-Mel Young, founder of the Homeless World Cup (the inspiration for the new Netflix film 'The Beautiful Game'), former Chair of Sport Scotland, and former Board member of UK Sport;
-Michael Sani, whose latest venture Play Verto looks at how to measure change and engage people in creative ways for authentic responses and actionable insights;
-Kelly Davies, former footballer from Wales who co-leads Ashoka's impact on sports as a force for positive change in society.
*Episode recorded live on July 24, 2024.
Welcome Change is Ashoka's news and insight series - short conversations with the world's leading changemakers on what works, what's next, and the role we can play.
