Stepping Up to Global Citizenship | Grace Clapham & Solonia Teodros | TEDxAuckland

Grace & Solonia have both been working for a while on a more global mindset for individuals and society. An increase in empathy and other peoples culture is what is needed right now in our modern world of increased culture interaction and uncertainty.

She has built strong communities across Southeast Asia, such as Secret {W} Business, CreativeMornings Singapore and SheSays Singapore. In 2009, she founded her first company Agent Grace, a boutique agency, where she helps companies navigate the Asia Pacific region. In 2013 she Co-Founded The Change School, a school to help individuals align values and life choices.

Born to Taiwanese and Ethiopian parents, with life chapters spanning the US and Asia, Solonia considers herself a citizen of the world. Her life work endeavors to instill the belief that today’s global community offers endless possibilities in pursuit of purpose, meaning and self-actualization.

"being global citizen is not your passport or ancestry but it is a mindset, it is a way of seeing and understanding the world a way of connecting people ideas and actions. it is an attitude and way of thinking that can be developed with practice and experience."

I wish the world could adopt the global citizenship not only rhetorically but through practice as it is with Grace and Solonia anchored in global, regional and national legal frameworks.

So we have to get rid of national sovereignty because of feelings? If each country is not allowed sovereignty than who will be at the helm of each country?
