16.01.2022 Yesterday our Alumni were fortunate to hear from Dr James Muecke AM, 2020 Australian of the Year and co-founder of Sight For All, a not-for-profit dedicated to creating a world where everyone can see. Dr Muecke spoke about how adventure and innovation are key factors in social entrepreneurship, which he defined as innovating to provide a sustainable solution to a social problem. And adventure in particular is key! Dr Muecke told the story of working as an ophthalmologist in Kenya, being captured by rebel soldiers in Uganda, and surviving both malaria and dysentery. All of these experiences gave Dr Muecke a background in finding innovative solutions, which he continues to apply in Sight For All. Thank you for your insights Dr Muecke, and thank you Auspire - Australia Day Council WA for helping us organise this webinar.
