Planet Visionaries – Ep 5: Lidia Oxí on Indigenous Led Education and Community Power

In this episode of Planet Visionaries, a landmark podcast series in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative, host Alex Honnold speaks with Lidia Oxí, National Director of World Connect Guatemala and one of the leading voices in indigenous led development. Oxí’s work centers on building systems that enable communities to design their own solutions – from education and climate resilience to leadership pathways for girls and young women.

For nearly a century, Rolex has supported pioneering explorers. Over time, the company has moved from championing exploration for the sake of discovery to protecting the planet. Through the Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex stands alongside the inspiring people who are dedicated to building a better future for all life on Earth.
