The Big Picture
11:15am-1:30pm, April 5, 2012
Live from Berlin, Germany
In this TEDxChange, we’ll take a step back and apply new perspectives to big picture issues. Why, as a global society, should we continue to invest in overseas development? How can we work across borders and political boundaries to bring about positive change? And what returns can we expect on our investments?
Convened by Melinda Gates
