James founded "Phone credit for refugees and displaced people" after an eye-opening trip to Calais. What began as a Facebook group evolved into an organization providing vital phone credit to displaced adults and children worldwide. This initiative offers the gift of communication to those separated from family and friends, far from home, and in uncertain circumstances.

The organization has supplied over £700,000 worth of phone credit, enabling people to contact loved ones, stay updated with news, and summon emergency, life-saving assistance. With over 70,000 Facebook followers, their impact is significant. James's talk explores the boundaries of compassion and responsibility, defining community, and how he found a creative solution.

James Glattfelder, a complexity theorist, studies how interconnected systems, like a bird swarm, are more than the sum of their parts. He applies this theory to the global economy, offering insights into its intricate workings.

Glattfelder's groundbreaking study reveals how control is concentrated among a surprisingly small number of entities. This significant power concentration leaves the entire global economy vulnerable. His findings were presented at TEDxZurich and published on February 13, 2013.
