Teaching Sustainability & Social Innovation in Indonesia | Maria Radyati, Trisakti University
In this episode of Entrepreneurs For Good, I speak with Maria Radyati, founding director of the Centre for Entrepreneurship, Change, and Third Sector at Trisakti University in Jakarta about her work teaching sustainability in Indonesia.
One of the most entrepreneurial academics I have met in a long time, through my discussion with her, we dive into her belief that the best way to teach business leaders, current and future, to be more sustainable is through practical experience.
Experience that generates genuine connection to the challenges, but at the same time provides focus and tangibility to the development of solutions.
