We often hear it is important for children to have good role models. Sometimes we even talk about good role models for society, in a larger context.

The role models of children are often parents, older siblings or other grownups in their life while role models in society typically are celebrities of sorts; pop stars, athletes, actors, politicians, etc.

What is a role model and why are good role models important? Is it fair to ask that if someone is good at playing football or electric guitar they should also be a good role model?

Keynote speakers on role models take a closer look at such questions, trying to shed some light on these matters.
