Social change needs engaged communities, not heroes | Gerardo Calderón | TEDxLehighU 

Hi Gerardo. I am a latina and I am 3rd year student of Community Development in University of Glasgow, Scotland. My lecture shared this video. Honestly I loved your speech, so powerful and full of ideas for my work in 2020. Thank you :) Gracias amigo

Gerardo has a really great grasp of the issue, based upon his own experience. Superhero? Not. Man of and for the people? Absolutely. Thank you, Gerardo, for opening my mind to greater possibilities in my own life. Also, putting superheros in their proper place and giving parents a different way of talking to their children about the solo superheros. God Bless you.

Oooh my word - after watching this, I am now even more motivated to keep pushing with my new RU-vid channel on social change. Thank you so much for this.

This is the best Ted talk I've heard. Gerardo is so genuine and to the point. Bravo!

I'm sharing this to my Political Science class to promote social activism. I really like the genuine perspective, keep going Gerardo 👏🏽👏🏽

Excellent talk. I love that the runners are wearing party hats. 🥳🥳

Great video, it helped me a lot in preparing me to be a community organizer with my future social work profession

Watching this for a subject. Great talk!

One of my favorite TED talks.

If you are not a hero, do these three things: 1. give ownership to people 2. to something cool 3. use known methods. Great talk

I do not know why this TEDx talk has so little views. It is a great talk to bring a better change to humanity. How can I get connected with you?

This is a great talk. Social justice can feel so far out of reach. Neo-liberalism has done a terribly harmful job at successfully separating us and convincing us society doesn't really exist. Together change is possible. Together we can do anything. Together we can create equality for all.

This is such a great talk, societies rely on leaders but they must emerge from engaged individuals that give the real power and make the real change in society. Kudos to my Latin brother :)

Heroes can inspire people to do the right thing.

Thank you for this. 🙏

I am watching this video after my sociology teacher given us this as a homework👁️👁️

Amazing. Thank you for an inspiring talk. I wish I could interview you some more

This is amazing!!

To effect social change in the society there is need to share experiences.

I’m in examination, can anyone conclusion? Lol
