Studium Generale: 'Step Up and Be the Director' - Shay Kreuger
Lecture by Shay Kreuger
Shay is a firm believer that everyone should take upon themselves the task to direct their lives.
When you realize that you are the director of your life you will realize that the decisions you make, the thoughts you have, the things you surround yourself with, impact your life in such a manner that it will help you grow... or not.

Her presence and way upon the stage will make her a key figure in coming cultural debates.
