In this episode we ask if Change Maker is the top job of the future. Preparing our kids for the adult world is what we do as parents. And work is one of the key areas of this world. In the age of rapid economic, political and social change, are there skills that we can nurture in our kids that will create the difference between staying ahead of the curve to create change and being drowned by waves of unprecedented events? How do we raise passionate kids who are motivated to be explorers and change makers, who stay open minded and hungry to create a better world.
