💬 “Culture shapes stories, stories shape leaders, leaders shape policy, and policy shifts the system.” — Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen

In Episode 11 of our Concordia Summit Series, we sit down with Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen, to explore how Global Citizen has mobilized more than 40 million citizen actions, delivered over a billion life-saving interventions, and used the power of pop culture and policy to drive real global change.

👉 What you’ll hear:

- How Global Citizen grew from student activism to a worldwide movement

- How culture, music, and storytelling influence global policy

- Why people still believe in cooperation and solidarity despite global challenges

- Insights from his new book "From Ideas to Impact" and how anyone can become a “policy entrepreneur”
