Ubuntu Leadership – Africa’s Gift to the SDG’s

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:01:42 +0000

A dialogue with Prof John Volmink on the powerful philosophy and practice of Ubuntu Leadership, the spaces where it is manifesting, and its relevance to our current world circumstances. How the practice of Ubuntu Leadership is an embodiment of civic consciousness, and creates opportunities for the realisation of the fundamental essence of the Sustainable Development Goals. Ubuntu leadership offers the recognition that working together is intentional, developmental and requires patience, and that our own humanity can only be truly experienced within our shared humanity.

Why do we need nature?

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:01:33 +0000

The session will include the following: how urban life has separated a large number of human beings from our natural essence; how human behavior has contributed to an unbalanced way of life, as we have treated the planet as infinite when it has finite limitations, which we are now becoming aware of; climate change as an example of the consequences of our way of life, with evidence such as droughts, floods, species extinctions, soil depletion, and even pandemics such as COVID; how can we change our values to celebrate life in all its magnificence, and feel connected again to being part of the web of life? Brainstorming about what can be done to change (in smaller groups) and sharing ideas. What better scenario is there to propose paradigmatic changes than Catalyst2030 with so much diversity?

As we enter a unique phase in the timeline of evolution of our species, join Impact Action Group lead Gautam Malik and an expert panel of speakers in a discussion on how their work creates positive impact by addressing SDGs on gender equality, responsible consumption and production, climate action and ecosystem building in an effort to shape the recovery and help reimagine our future. The session brings together 5 unique social enterprises that are each combining the 5P framework (people, prosperity, planet, partnership and peace) and the 3R approach (reduce, reuse, recycle) to directly address social equity, climate action and ecosystem building along with 12 other SDGs through their work. We have planned a hybrid session where attendees will get to participate in a panel discussion, watch short films on our work, share their thoughts on the world’s most challenging issues and get the opportunity to network with a diverse group of stakeholders and change makers from around the world. Topics like Circular Economy, Waste Management, Regenerative Design, Creative Reuse, Ecosystem Building, Role of Comics & Films in Social Change and other trends will be discussed along with actions towards achieving specific goals.
