Let's change the world, one poem at a time | Dorothy Oger | TEDxSaxionUniversity
Description:

After losing a friend in the terrorist attacks in Brussels, poet and poet-coach Dorothy Oger from Belgium decided to answer this act of violence with a poem titled "For love". Beyond her expectations, the poem got translated into over 50 languages and was used all over the world. It is inviting us to change the world through more openness, compassion, inclusion. So, can a poem change the word? Dorothy explains why she thinks it can.
