dc.description.abstractYour Excellencies Letizia Moratti, Stefano Bonaccini, Andrea Gnassi, Jacques Attali, H.E. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, David Thorne, Stefania Giannini, distinguished fellow panelists, honoured guests, ladies and gentlemen, all protocols observed…. I want to begin with an expression of deep gratitude to the organizers for their invitation to the Positive Economy Forum. I am deeply honoured to be here among you today, to contribute on this round table discussion on the theme of positive knowledge and innovations in universities that contribute to the well-being of students and future generations. To be honest, I am an unlikely participant here, because I have no training or experience in politics, economics, business or the social sciences. Instead, my doctoral studies were in systematic theology and my area of specialization is spirituality! But by an unusual turn of events four years ago I became the Principal of Tangaza University College in Nairobi, where we host a very fruitful collaboration with ALTIS (the Graduate School of Business and Society of the Catholic University of Milan) and more recently with the E4Impact Foundation, a partnership between ALTIS, Securfin and major Italian industries. (I want to thank David Cheboryot, the coordinator of this programme at Tangaza, for his help in preparing these remarks.) And the chair of the E4Impact Foundation, Madame Letizia Moratti, is also the cofounder of this Positive Economic Forum here in Italy, among her many other accomplishments. So we have an important link with you. My experience at Tangaza and in connection with E4Impact have convinced me more than ever that such partnerships and collaborations must be a key component in a university’s efforts to promote positive social change.en_US
