The critical connection: Mobilising change

Date – Wednesday, 24 September
Time – 16:20 – 17:00
Location – Auditorium 5, CCL

Before the social begins, end your day with a session that’s unignorable, unforgettable, and unifying. This isn’t a wind-down. It’s a wake-up. 

We explore the ripple of transformation that begins when people connect across borders, and why international exchange and purposeful travel are critical strategies for global good. 

Led by global changemaker Chris Arnold, Founder of Made Impact, and journalist Jackson Mvunganyi, this session blends lived stories, bold ideas and audience reflection to chart a new purpose for exchange and travel – one rooted in solidarity, leadership, and community impact. 

Whether you’re inspiring participants, facilitating incredible moments, or shaping policy, you’ll leave with renewed clarity and connection to a plan designed to double the impact of a movement to which you already belong. 

Be part of a plan that moves funders, shifts policy, and drives impact. Discover lived stories that prove the transformative power of travel and exchange. Leave energised – ready to spark conversations about how our industry can drive peace and prosperity. Come and share your story!
