In an increasingly connected world, becoming a global citizen means fostering relationships that transcend borders, cultures and backgrounds. Improv makes this process approachable, exciting and fun.

This engaging keynote invites you to explore the art of making meaningful connections through the transformative power of improv. Led by two dynamic members of Rapid Fire Theatre’s Touring Company (Julian Faid and Chris Borger), the session features interactive group exercises that break down barriers, spark creativity and build trust. Whether you’re a natural extrovert or hesitant to step into the spotlight, you’ll leave with practical tools to communicate effectively, empathize deeply and collaborate across diverse communities—empowering you to thrive as a global citizen.

This presentation is in partnership with Rapid Fire Theatre.
