Global Educator - d'Arcy Lunn Bio: from then till now I spend my time, energy and passion working towards a world without extreme poverty. I’m a teacher from Australia but for 15 years I have been a humanitarian, educator and mostly learner in over 85 countries. From these experiences I have been absolutely privileged to learn from almost every kind of community and culture which has formed my never-ending thirst for sharing my experiences and offering opportunities to play an active role in equality, justice and global awareness. It all began in 2000 when I was plucked early from university to go and teach in a remote Aboriginal school in the outback of Australia. Since then it has been my passion and quest to seek out the most different and diverse cultures in the world, learn from them and share my experiences, skills and perspectives. Fast forward to 2016 I’ve given Teaspoons of Change presentations, worked on the ground in development with UNICEF, expanded my initiative of Polio Points and started a Master’s in Peace Studies with a scholarship from the Rotary Peace Fellowship in Japan. Previously I’ve worked with UNICEF in South Sudan, Pakistan and other spots, built two Happy, simply tiny houses, walked 1000km in Japan, cycled many thousands of kms and much more! Most of the work I do fits into initiatives I’ve started and look at global equality and sustainability:  Teaspoons of Change - personal choices, decisions and actions that have a positive impact on people and the planet.  Happy, simply - a sustainable lifestyle model and education project. 2 tiny homes built.  Polio Points - an award and reward system helping to end polio, one point at a time. To date I have been privileged as an educator to give over 600 global awareness presentations to more than 60,000 people - mostly in schools but also conferences, keynote speeches, Rotary Clubs and various events. I am also an ambassador, advocate and enthusiast with many organisations including (and my roles with them): JUMP! Foundation (Senior Facilitator and Advisor), Global Citizen (Youth and Schools Manager), the World’s Largest Lesson (Advisor and Presenter), The End of Polio (Campaign Manager), UNICEF U-Report (Consultant) and ambassador with UNICEF, RESULTS and many others… I enjoy the best things in life - meeting and learning from, and with, others. I would relish any opportunities to present, facilitate, learn and share. Please let me know if you would like me to play a role with you and your community for greater global citizenship. d'Arcy.

Live Below the Line is a challenge to live on $1.50/day for food and drink, each day, for 5 days… I helped in establishing this campaign in Australia in 2009 which is now a global phenomena In 2012 I did the Live Below the Line challenge while riding my bicycle 1000 miles from Oregon, USA to Whistler, Canada and back eating on $1.50 of food a day

Being an educator who has spent 15 years in over 80 countries learning and sharing  

In 2000 I became a teacher three months before finishing university to teach in a remote Aboriginal community in the Australian desert at age 22. I’ve since taught in over 40 countries In conversation or a formal workshop we can look at education in the broadest sense and the world that is out there to listen and learn from, or I’m happy to talk on the weird things I’ve eaten!



All presentations and workshops are tailored to suit the needs of each audience - in age, perspectives, experiences, focus and length of time



All also include personal stories, interactive question and answer sessions and the right blend of information and inspiration to educate and motivate audiences

‘My life and dream is to see a world without extreme poverty for everyone, everywhere & forever!’

Many Thanks, d'Arcy.
