Topic: Failure through a government lens, can we talk about it?
Failure is a product of action, entrepreneurship and creation. It’s also what makes us HUMAN…. But what does it look like when we put a government lens on failure? Can we talk about it? A team from Fuckup Nights Toronto is working to break down stigmas, and amplify the message that failure is healthy and essential to learning and growing…. Even in government.
