September 5, 2024 · 28 min

Show notes

Creative expression brings joy, purpose, and meaning to human lives. More than that, it is the definition of the possible, the desirable and the tactical. But can the next generation actually use the arts to tackle climate change and help to build more equitable prosperity?

Today, Becky is joined by Polly Mackenzie, Chief Social Purpose Officer at the University of Arts London and former Head of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister. 

In this conversation, they’ll be discussing how creativity needs purpose and how purpose needs creativity to create true social impact for society and the planet.
