�uh Course Description:

In a world gripped by challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic racism, and the existential threat of climate change, there is an urgent need for transformation—both personal and societal. These unprecedented times call for us to be more grounded, empathetic, and energized than ever before. It's a moment that defines our generations, where we must re-examine our purpose, values, and the impact we aspire to make.

As individuals, we are all stakeholders in this transformation. By enhancing our own capacity for change, we can catalyze the broader change needed within our organizations and communities. This is where "Be The Change" comes into play—a course designed by the esteemed Mandar Apte, a thought leader with a rich history as a Shell Gamechanger and now the Executive Director for Cities4Peace.

🧭 Accompanied by Real-Life Stories: The film features the poignant experiences of a single mother whose son was a victim of a school shooting, a former gang member, an educator, and activists from the Movement for Black Lives Matter, all united by their encounter with violence and their quest for healing and nonviolent advocacy.
