Applications are now open for Creative Climate Leadership (CCL) – a programme that empowers artists and cultural professionals to take action on the climate and ecological crisis with impact, creativity, and resilience. It has been designed to mobilise and connect a creative climate movement. CCL has been developed by the internationally recognised charity Julie’s Bicycle.
CCL Benelux 2023 will be held at Koningsteen Centre in Belgium from 27 – 31 March 2023 (arrivals Sunday, 26 March). The state of Koningsteen (King’s Stone) in Flanders was owned by painter Alexandre Thomas in the 19th century, and it is said to have inspired Flemish poet and mystic Hadewijch in the early Middle Ages. Today, the Koningsteen hosts eco-friendly and environmentally responsible retreats, residentials and workshops.
What is Creative Climate Leadership?
During the program, participants will learn from and engage in conversation with invited guests, such as global change scientists, organisational change and participatory experts. Together you will develop an up-to-date picture of creative climate action and develop the leadership skills and networks to lead artistic practice and institutions for transformative climate action.
