Wisdom from War Zones

Sixth Form students were on the edge of their seats for a fascinating talk from Rick Findler, an award-winning photojournalist who has covered some of the most dangerous news stories of the last ten years.

Rick gave a whistlestop tour of conflict zones around the globe, telling inspiring and thrilling stories from his career, which has spanned over two decades.

From inspirational stories of a ski school in Afghanistan that champions female skiers to a harrowing tale of a very real near miss in Ukraine, his talk threaded through how his history of working in high-stress environments has empowered him to share his stories to help with fear management, goal setting and the importance of preparation.

It was certainly a humbling, engaging and inspirational talk and one that our lucky students are unlikely to forget in a hurry. We would like to thank Rick for visiting Truro School and sharing his incredible career and insights with us.
