Pioneering Change with Dr Badiul Alam Majumdar, Country Director, The Hunger Project Bangladesh.
Event description
Join The Hunger Project Australia at this rare opportunity to meet
Bangladesh’s most powerful and compassionate force for change.
For 30 years, Dr. Majumdar has strategically navigated Bangladesh’s social and political structures to catalyse grassroots change for 5 million people living in hunger and poverty. Dr. Majumdar boldly interrupts the paradigm: replacing division, corruption, extremism and violence, with peace, cohesion, trust and respect for human rights. This approach has the attention of the United Nations (where Dr Majumdar will be presenting immediately following his visit to Perth).
- Learn how to catalyse change at a large scale.
- Realise the expansive and powerful change that’s possible with compassionate action.
- Discover the role Australians can play in solving critical
global problems.
Dr Majumdar is known and loved for his leadership role
in Bangladesh, his home country, since 1991. He was instrumental in developing The Hunger Project’s unique Vision, Commitment, Action (VCA) workshop that shifts people’s mindsets away from dependency to empowerment and hope. To date, 1.7 million people globally have completed the VCA workshop. Dr Majumdar has a PhD in Economics and prior to The Hunger Project he taught at Seattle, Central Washington and Washington State universities, and worked at NASA.
