[The Elders Series] Nelson Mandela and The State of Hope

In 2007, Nelson Mandela founded The Elders with a mission of engaging with “global leaders and civil society at all levels to resolve conflict and address its root causes, to challenge injustice, and to promote ethical leadership and good governance”.

Across our special podcast series, we've explored these very issues and considered how and why Mandela's vision remains so important to tackling some of the world's intractable challenges, from nuclear threats to lack of access to justice and the accelerating impacts of climate change.

Widely regarded as an icon of democracy and social justice, Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader and philanthropist. Today, the reverberance of Nelson Mandela’s legacy is felt strongly all around the world.

In our final episode of this series, hosts Hazami Barmada and Mary Robinson (former President of Ireland, former UN High-Commissioner For Human Rights and Chair of The Elders) are joined by the Deputy Chair and co-Founder of The Elders, Graça Machel to recall Mandela's legacy.

Together, we ask: where do we draw a sense of hope and how do we find a way forward? Why is hope critical in galvanizing action and how can accountability transform hope into real change?
