About

Join Hart House Conversations for a series of fireside-style chats between Hart House Warden John Monahan and inspiring folks whose discontent with the status quo propels them to be the change they want to see in the world. The series is named after them: we call it “Changemakers.”

The Changemakers series invites guests who actively devote their lives to effecting meaningful and sustainable change in the interests of justice and equity. This year, Changemakers invites guests who will explore issues around migration and refugees, and in particular, to share stories of resilience and support for the millions who are on the move around the world.

Meet the community members who have dedicated their lives to help those affected by displacement, persecution, and exploitation. 

Hear their stories.
