HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK
THE SESSIONS
▶
REIMAGINING CULTURE TO POWER CHANGE
Featuring: Joseph S. Deitch, Founder, The Elevate Prize Foundation and Carolina Garcia Jayaram, Founding CEO, The Elevate Prize Foundation
Culture shapes the world, influencing creativity, human connection, and innovation. Movements are born through meaningful shifts in culture – from the magic of communities coming together to connect through shared values.
How do you define culture? What role does culture play in driving sustainable change? How is its impact measured? How can diverse networks organize together for positive change?
Social impact executives, media leaders, and cultural experts investigate the data, behavioral patterns, and trends that lead to cultural shifts and the movements they inspire.
