In this episode of the Education Matters Podcast, Jason Buccheri sits down with Marc Kielburger, co-founder of the WE movement and a visionary who has influenced millions of students across Canada and beyond. Marc shares deeply personal reflections on his journey—from winning a national science fair in grade seven to navigating the complex intersection of entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and global education.
The conversation dives into the urgent challenges facing modern classrooms, particularly the disruptive potential of Artificial Intelligence. Marc argues that as technology begins to automate traditional instruction, the role of the teacher must be fundamentally redefined to focus on mentorship, emotional connection, and fostering a sense of "wholeness" in students. From discussing the "National Volunteer Service Initiative" to his recent work with the King family, Marc offers a candid look at resilience and the enduring importance of purpose-driven leadership.
