A Teacher Can Change a Student; A School a Community | Carmen Pellicer Iborra | TEDxBerkleeValencia

A good teacher can change a child's life, but a good school can make a huge difference in a local community. If you want to change a country, you need to change the education. Carmen Pellicer Iborra, Spanish Theologian and professor, analyzes how we can do this.

Themed Changing Currents, TEDxBerkleeValencia welcomes leading international innovators, entrepreneurs, creative business people, and artists from diverse countries representing music, fashion and design, the environment, technology and religion. The second edition of TEDxBerkleeValencia, which took place at L’Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium in Europe, addressed several notions of change - paradigm shifts; movement, both physical and societal; and new tendencies across multiple disciplines.
