The Kremlin has accused the West, and in particular the United States, of trying to sabotage the Russia-Africa summit that will take place in St Petersburg this week by pressuring African countries not to take part. We are joined by Faith Abiodun, International affairs analyst, Founder and Chair of Future Africa Foundation, a public sector development organisation.
In this People First Talk, Faith Abiodun, Executive Director, United World Colleges (UWC) shares UWC's mission to build a global movement that makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. He shares what they have discovered over UWC's 60+ year history about what’s possible when we invest in growing purpose-driven leaders, who operate with agency and bridge divides. He also shares what it takes to cultivate these capacities in practice, including what the research has shown to be the biggest driver of impact.
