#6: Ross Hall on weaving educational ecosystems for universal wellbeing
Listen now
Description
Ross Hall is a co-founder of the Weaving Lab where he works to enable communities to create local educational ecosystems that bring all the different players together. With that, he wants to transform education into a force for universal wellbeing. Before starting the Weaving Lab, Ross directed Ashoka's global educational strategy and spent a few years researching wellbeing - so he has a wealth of experience to draw on for this conversation that focuses on collective impact, system change, universal wellbeing and the demands placed on education in our current world. At the end of the conversation, Ross recommends the book "Designing Regenerative Cultures" by Daniel Christian Wahl. He also shares two examples of inspiring Weavers: Vishal Talreja in India (see his TEDx talk) and Catalina Cock in Colombia (see her TEDx talk in Spanish. As always, if you have any comments or questions, I'd be happy to hear from you.
