Inspired by the historical figures of Raoul Wallenberg and Martin Luther King Jr., the Raoul Wallenberg Institute hosts an interdisciplinary and intergenerational conversation about the role of the individual in making change. Expert and activist panelists will examine various instances of individual and group influence to enact change, discussing the merit of trying and failing, the different ways that individuals have sought to influence the world around them, and how to measure and evaluate “making a difference.”
