The programme strengthens the extraordinary climate leadership found across the creative and cultural ecosystem, and champions positive change using an approach orientated towards justice and inclusion. Each iteration of the course is infused with the entrepreneurial ideas of CCL alumni.
175 people, working in 26 countries, have taken part in CCL programmes so far. Our alumni join an evolving international network of creatives taking action and mobilising others in their field, through events, workshops, artistic works, and projects.

As part of the course we also offer:
