In our monthly 'Yakety Yak' dinner and conversation series, we hear from individuals who have shown exceptional leadership in the field of public and social innovation, corporate responsibility, social entrepreneurship or philanthropy. The evenings involve an interview with broadcaster Peter Thompson, followed by a facilitated discussion with a small invited audience of leaders from the public, private, community and academic sectors.
If you would like to be included in a future Yakety Yak event, please email csi@unsw.edu.au.
PRAISE FOR YAKETY YAK:
"The Yakety Yak event with George Halkias was a very interesting and thought provoking evening from which I learned a great deal.
Peter's interview with George was excellent. It enabled us to see the influences and motivation behind George's work, and I am sure we all felt both humbled and inspired by his account of the many challenges involved in his work with homeless people and the World Cup.
Thanks to you and all concerned for faciliting such a memorable evening".
