In this conversation, The Canvas founder Ruth Rogers speaks with Dani Castelucci about her transformative journey creating AlterEd, a business school for immigrants and refugees.

Dani shares her emotional connection to The Canvas, the challenges faced by her students, and the impact of the pandemic on their programmes when The Canvas was forced to close.

She discusses the importance of community support and the need for cafes to adopt a community-centric approach.

Dani's story is one of resilience, hope, and the power of giving back.

Dani's book recommendation: Inés de la Alma Mia by Allende Isabel
