Barefoot College, the subject of Flip the Switch - A Documentary, is a leading social enterprise working in nearly 100 countries. Its work with women addresses many of the SDGs, including efforts to reduce poverty alleviation, climate change, and gender inequality. We want to use the power of storytelling to inspire impactful collaborations focused on making a better world for all: · Empowering women and girls around the world; · Inspiring multi-sector partnerships as a critical collaborative approach to systemic change; · Combating ultra-poverty by supporting women as the change-makers. Flip the Switch - A Documentary is designed to facilitate networking engagement that brings together leaders from the private sector to inspire corporate action towards the SDGs. The film will be premiered at BAFTA in London on Tuesday 16 October alongside a panel discussion hosted by the Rt Hon. Lord McConnell, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the SDGs, with senior executives from global corporations to explore the business case for sustainable development.
