Join our Keynote as we explore the profound impact of small actions through an exclusive screening of Cycling Without Age. This inspiring documentary follows retired educator John Seigel-Boettner as he discovers a new way to teach—beyond the classroom and on the open road—through pedal-powered trishaw rides that reconnect older adults with the joy of movement.
After the screening, John will join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how this movement has created a ripple effect across communities and countries. Together, we’ll examine how simple moments of connection can lead to lasting, transformative change. Find more info on our keynote here.
