How to Change the World: Five Lessons from Decades of Covering War, Genocide & Poverty

HOSTED BY CAPITAL DAILY AT UVIC.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and long-time New York Times political commentator Nicholas Kristof shares stories from his life travelling and investigating war, genocide and poverty. These stories will be connected to relevant issues in Victoria, such as early childhood matters, and the neglect of the working class. From his decades of experience seeing people’s desire to change the world, Kristof will share lessons from research and his own family that you can apply to make a difference locally and personally.

In addition, a selection of Kristof’s critically acclaimed books, Half the Sky and Tightrope, will be available for purchase onsite. Select the exclusive book signing ticket tier to have a chance to meet Kristof and have your book signed.

“I gained so much insight from Mr. Kristof on what it means to make a difference. During his presentation he said, giving people hope enables them to work towards the future. This statement really resonated with me. Most importantly, I left the event feeling inspired.” — Ft. Lewis College

“Kristof was easy to relate to and (as many noted) just down to earth. It was a very inspiring and moving talk. He’s a voice for many people in the world, and I now see that we are challenged to take his message forward.” — Greenwich Academy
