Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany

Hi, I am Ted. I am a student changemaker at Frankfurt International School (FIS). I have been part of the FIS Changemaker program since the beginning (November 2020) where a group of students, participated in the JUMP! training to work on their leadership skills. We learned many new skills, which we decided to use to create change in our school and beyond. From then on, we were the FIS changemakers. Initially, it was only me and a group of about 10 dedicated students (and some very helpful teachers) which has now grown to many hundreds! We, realized that we need to go beyond academics and think about community engagement, global understanding and a toolbox for reasonable, feasible and sustainable change. We had to create changemakers, starting at a young age, that could cope with the problems the future generations will face. To achieve this, our first major action was the changemaker conference, action packed with speeches and workshops, one of which, was my Donut Economics Workshop.

As an educator, my personal mission is to prepare the rising generation of business innovators, builders, and leaders to play key roles in the transition to a regenerative economy.

Mahajanga/Madagascar

I am a retired MD married to a Malagasy MD. Until 2018, I used to work for the German technical cooperation as a public health specialist in various African countries. I put my focus on the effectiveness, inclusiveness and also the efficiency of basic health services. Sustainability meant for me that these services were able to be maintained after the end of external support. In other words, I focused on the inner boundaries of the "Doughnut" ignoring the growing importance of the outer limits. After retirement, I had more time to read and think "out of the box". My understanding of "sustainability" became wider and more oriented towards ecological aspects.

City of London, England, United Kingdom

During my degree in Textile Design and Business Studies at Brighton Uni, a slight curveball led me to a series of block printing internships in Jaipur, India where I became obsessed with the environmental and social impacts of the fashion and textile sectors. I've always loved drawing and design, but found equal enjoyment in complaining about the shocking state of the industry and trying to find solutions through a mix of traditional and more modern techniques. After finishing my degree, I completed a Masters and split time between various textile experiments in the UK and travelling around India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, visiting factories and producers, from tiny, rural natural dyers and hand weavers to huge industrial manufacturers making garments for all our favourite (not!) fast fashion brands.
