Poyodoshi--Contemporary Rites Of Passage to Foster Teen Wisdom | Basil Savitsky | TEDxTryon

Basil Savitsky is a futurist who revels in the power of new ides to motivate us to make positive change. He envisions a protocol for guiding teens into adulthood by helping them develop their personal futures, and supporting them as they craft their preferred reality.


Basil Savitsky, Ph.D., is a former university professor who taught futures studies. He is currently working with youth to help them develop their personal futures.

His TEDxTryon talk addresses the reinvention of the rites of passage into adulthood for the 21st century teen.

You will learn: There is a parallel between the quality of jump that teens need to make to reach meaningful adulthood and the jump that we as a species need to make to succeed as a global society. Wisdom is the key ingredient that we all need to grow up.
