Understanding and implementing the behaviours necessary to achieve resilience has perhaps never felt more important than it does now in this world of unorder.

This event focuses on Boosting Resilience: Survival Skills for the New Normal an intense, catalytic and boundary-pushing executive learning programme running from 2017 - 2019, funded by Arts Council England as part of their Building Resilience Programme.

The event

At this event, we will share the approaches taken to building resilience through creative leadership and the effective use of creative assets and intellectual property.

We will present key outcomes, findings and recommendations from the evaluation of the programme. Plus, we'll share our ambition and perspective on what’s next.

We invite you to join us in building effective collaborations for resilient futures with an emphasis on crossing disciplinary boundaries.
