What are kanthari TALKS ?
kanthari TALKS mark the grand finale of kanthari’s intensive, hands-on, seven-month on-campus part of the impact leadership program.
Throughout this journey, participants from across the globe transform their visions for social change into actionable, sustainable project plans.
Each participant, who is a change maker, returns home equipped with the skills, courage, and strategies needed to challenge injustice, reshape mindsets, and build innovative solutions within their communities.
In powerful ten-minute talks, they share their personal stories, the challenges they’ve confronted, and the social ventures they’ve created to tackle them.
Over two inspiring days, you’ll experience 20 unique stories and solutions from voices that are redefining leadership from the margins.
The kanthari TALKS are live-streamed for a global audience.
