Manju Patel-Nair
After 17 years as a teacher, I set up ChangeMakers UnLtd to deliver training and international consultancy, focusing on racial justice, community cohesion, global citizenship and development education.
Today I am committed to creating safe and courageous learning environments, beyond formal education spaces. I enjoy considering new ‘wisdoms’ to bring to my work – be it a chance encounter on the Tube, Dani D’Emilia’s ‘Radical Tenderness Manifesto’, a poem by Tagore or a scene from a George Lucas movie. My practice is informed by philosophies both within and beyond familiar western thinking, and incorporates the best parts of my unique upbringing.
I thrive when my work leads clients to find in themselves the ability to hold difficult conversations. It is a joyful moment to see someone recognise in themselves the Changemaker, and tap into their UnLimited capacity for growth.
