What if real change doesn’t start with massive policies, but with a teaspoon?

In this episode, Rob Carmichael sits down with global educator and sustainability leader d'Arcy Lunn, Group Head of Sustainability and Global Citizenship at Education in Motion and founder of Teaspoons of Change.

From mountaineering in Kyrgyzstan to working on polio eradication in South Sudan with UNICEF, dArcy’s journey reveals how tiny, intentional actions can ripple outward into systemic impact.

Together, Rob and dArcy explore:

  • What global citizenship really means (without defining it)
  •  Sustainability vs regenerative practice — and why it’s not a competition
  •  How to embed global perspectives in any classroom
  •  Leading by example (yes, even running to conferences!)
  •  Why optimism is a discipline, not naïveté

This conversation is an invitation to act, imperfectly, consistently, and collectively.

Because sometimes, two drops… are enough to change the world.
