When a Skateboard Transforms a Village | Ulrike Reinhard | TEDxGurugram

How many skateboards does it take to solve a problem? Ulrike Reinhard talks in her TEDx talk about her journey to a remote part of central India, and the journey of an entire village on the path towards progress using what essentially is a piece of wood fixed to a set of wheels. Ulrike is a catalyst for collective intelligence and a network enabler who forges direct links that connect people as her mentor Professor Peter Kruse described her. She is a consultant, author, futurist, community activist, free spirit and digital native, all rolled into one. Being disruptive is a job she takes seriously. Ulrike has a strong track record of community activism, building networks online and offline. Currently, she is the CEO of Janwar Castle - a skateboard park she set up with the ambitious objective of revitalising a village in rural India. In her TEDx talk, she’ll share how something that seems so unorthodox is affecting change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
