The Aims of the Programme

Creative Climate Leadership will:

Explore the role of culture and creativity in responding to climate change and environmental challenges;
Bring together a range of expert guest speakers to share case studies, research, approaches and practical solutions for environmental sustainability in the cultural sector;
Enable each participant to develop their leadership and ideas;
Prepare participants to apply their learning and new skills when they return to their work, and support ongoing learning and exchange through an alumni network.
CCL recognises the unique role of culture to influence new ways of being, doing and thinking, and supports creative professionals to apply these abilities to the climate challenge through a programme of events, training programmes and policy labs.

We are planning a wide range of leadership development programmes this year, if you would like to stay up to date and be notified when other applications for CCL open up, please sign up to the Julie’s Bicycle newsletter.
