The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In this sixth conversation of Series Eight of the Game Changers podcast, we talk with Nathaniel Diong, Founder of the Future Minds Network. Nathaniel Diong is an award-winning Gen-Z educator – unlocking the endless potential of youth, whilst tackling the unemployment crisis affecting 2.8 million young Aussies. Feeling helpless to make a difference in a world where thousands died each day, Nathaniel fell into clinical depression. Desperate to help youth realise they could make a difference, at 16, he founded Future Minds Network. Building socially-conscious start-ups, students solve big problems, practise skills for future employment like communication and problem-solving and create their own future jobs. Over 11,000 students from 50 cultural backgrounds have completed his programs - landing offers at Yale, TEDx and launching non-for-profits sending 2000 encouragement letters to tackle isolation.
