Avez-vous déjà eu, une soudaine envie de changer de vie? Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé, si vous étiez sur le bon chemin, si votre existence faisait sens, si vous étiez heureux? Une pluie de questions existentielles, qu’on laisse trop souvent sans réponse…
Joffrey Persia fait partie de ceux qui ont décidé d’y répondre. « Etre honnête avec soi-même », c’est le mantra qu’il a choisi d’adopter. Après une courte carrière dans l’ingénierie, il décide de se retirer du monde et vit quelques mois au sein d’un monastère Bouddhiste au Népal dans le but de se retrouver. Aujourd’hui, il travaille en freelance informatique une partie de l’année et consacre le reste de son temps à la photographie de reportage, une passion qu’il cultive durant ses voyages. Joffrey s’efforce de capturer la beauté de la nature et des personnes qu’il croise au gré de ses aventures. Former mechanical design engineer

As kids now spend more time with entertainment media, theyre getting less and less time outdoors, despite the mental and physical health benefits. Ben Klasky, CEO of IslandWood, a 255-acre outdoor learning center, proposes a free and natural remedy to the physical problems kids face: the Great Outdoors.
Ben grew up in Minnesota where he spent lots of time outdoors. He serves as President and CEO of IslandWood, a nonprofit organization that helps tens of thousands of kids get out into nature. IslandWoods 255-acre headquarters is based on Bainbridge Island, WA, and features some of the most environmentally sustainable buildings in the world. The organization targets low-income, at-risk youth, and introduces them to roar of tree frogs, soaring bald eagles, and star-filled skies, helping them to discover natural connections with the outdoors.
He is the co-founder of Camp Galileo, which has grown into the largest set of day camps in the Bay Area; and he co-founded Board Fellows while earning his MBA and Masters in Education from Stanford. Board Fellows places business school students on nonprofit boards, and the model has been replicated at over 75 other business schools.

Chiaras emotional talk covers the subject of domestic abuse. “I chose this topic because violence against women is still seen as a taboo and more specifically a ‘women’s issue’ when really, it is everyone’s problem. I would like to challenge you to dispel any stereotypes they may have about abuse. If I can help just one person free themselves of an abusive relationship with my words, then that would be one less person living in unjust suffering. In the words of Maya Angelou: ‘Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women’.” Chiara Lisowski leaves us without words.
