TED: How love can help repair social inequality | Chloé Valdary

The Theory of Enchantment is a social emotional learning program that uses pop culture to teach self-love and resilience. Developed by studying pop culture icons like Disney and Beyoncé, it identifies common denominators that reflect human potential. The theory is guided by three principles: treat people as human beings, criticize to uplift, and root actions in love. Examples from Moana and Kendrick Lamar illustrate these principles. The theory emphasizes individual change as a precursor to systemic change, addressing issues like racism and privilege. It encourages treating others with compassion, even in the face of suppression.
