How is plastic packaging acceptable in today’s world? How is it possible that so many people don’t vote? How did obesity become an epidemic? There is only one solution to these kinds of issues and adults are the least likely to make it happen. The solution to all these issues can be found in our classrooms.
A former primary school teacher, Dominic started LitFilmFest in 2016 which partners with organisations like Houses Of Parliament, the British Film Institute, YouTube Kids and Change.org. Its goal is to empower primary pupils to shape their future through collaborative writing & video projects linked to the National Curriculum for English.

He has trained over 10,000 primary teachers on combining traditional literacy and digital skills through his education social enterprise, A Tale Unfolds. In a research project with UCL Institute Of Education, this traditional plus digital approach improved literacy by 2.5 times the average rate of progress.

Although he is happiest in the sea, Dominic has a burning passion for inspiring the YouTube generation to make the world a better place. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
