Generation T honourees Paul Niel, Victoria Wisniewski Otero and Alessandro Bisagni lent their expertise to a Gen.T panel discussion at Hong Kong's Conscious Festival. Here are some of the key takeaways
Talking Points is a semi-regular series where we highlight some of the key topics discussed at a Generation T keynote, fireside chat or panel discussion.
Back in Hong Kong for a second year, the Conscious Festival once again brought together change-making organisations, artists and entrepreneurs—all bound by a common desire to make the world more sustainable and socially conscious place—for two days of talks and experiences.
The talks were organised into four themed sessions that took place across the weekend: Live, Work, Consume and Travel. Generation T hosted a panel discussion during the Travel session, on the topic “Meaningful (Ad)ventures”. Gen.T editor Lee Williamson spoke to three honourees who were inspired by a sense of discovery to enact positive change: Alessandro Bisagni, founder of green energy firm BEE; Victoria Wisniewski Otero, founder of NGO Resolve Foundation; and impact investor and adventurer Paul Niel. Here are the key talking points we took from the discussion.
