Ger Graus is a black belt storyteller.

- Mark Sylvester, Executive Producer, TEDx, USA

Professor Graus has spent his life at the coal face of education bringing champagne skills with a draft beer attitude to trying to make a very real and practical difference to the lives of children. His intellect, empathy and compassion are married to a warrior heart and incredible humility. I would urge everyone to hear his voice and to read his memoir about his life as an educator and champion of children.
