The Power of Starting: How Small Steps Shift Big Systems

The Power of Starting: How Small Steps Shift Big Systems

Every movement for change begins with a single step. But how do small steps grow into the kind of momentum that can shift entire systems and break cycles of poverty?

This event tells the story of Tina Brunet, founder of a not-for-profit organisation working in some of the poorest areas of India. Tina’s mission is to co-design leadership education programs with communities, creating spaces where young people, local leaders, and families come together to imagine a different future.

At the heart of her work is a full-circle approach: leadership is not taught in isolation but grounded in culture, economics, and collective voice. It’s about more than training individuals, it’s about sparking the courage of a whole community to challenge the status quo and rewrite the patterns that keep poverty in place.

Through Tina’s journey, we’ll explore the practical challenges of starting small, the breakthroughs that come from listening deeply, and the ripple effects that emerge when communities lead their own change. Her story is both deeply local and universally relevant, offering lessons for anyone striving to create meaningful impact.

Join us for an evening of reflection and inspiration on the power of beginnings and discover how your own first step might contribute to shifting the bigger systems around you.
