Education and Love
Education teaches us love and respect for other people. Despite that we often stereotype people based on the prejudices we have, which leads to racism and exclusion. This talk emphasizes the need to re-think education and focus on introducing different stories about how stereotyping robs people of respect and dignity. Love needs to be at the core of our education.
