Every child has the power to change the world. That's the inspiring message of David Harkin, the CEO and co-founder of EdTech company 8billionideas. David is also an author, TEDx speaker, plus he's been described as a 'global disruptor in education' (in a wholly positive way, of course).
In this episode, School of Thought host Hfu Reisenhofer speaks with David about the incredible work 8billionideas is doing in schools across the globe. About the importance of teaching students entrepreneurship, creativity and problem-solving skills. And about the need to let young people think freely, develop their ideas and follow their dreams.
