What causes are you most passionate about?
While there are many causes that matter, I believe that improving the access to quality education is what probably can create the most leverage to solve all other causes and issues. I mean education in a broad sense, not only in academic terms. I see creating conditions for people to better understand how the world works and what they are like to be a critical step towards self-evolution. Also, it is a great way to have a critical approach to understand what the reality of each situation is, what are the gaps to what should/could be, and to find solutions to mitigate such gaps. Finally, I strongly believe in the transformational power of education to lift our emotional intelligence, sense of empathy and compassion in order to evolve as a society and to get to better ideas and solutions through constructive discussions
My ideal future world includes…
Quality access to food, housing, education and healthcare for all people
What do you think some of the most pressing problems we face are?
Lack of alignment on what is true (e.g. fake news, misinformation, excessive polarization of opinions), climate change, inequality in terms of opportunity, income, social rights, and access to basic conditions
