The Role of the Arts In LeadershipA recent talk that Caroline gave at The Arts Club

Our world is at a critical juncture
The opposing forces of mass migration and an increasing retreat towards nationalism and xenophobia are posing a grave threat to our world.
|
Acting together to solve crises such as climate change, polarisation, wealth inequality, pandemics, the ethical challenges of technology and shifting power structures in the geopolitical landscape is a huge challenge that can only be met through a deeper and broader understanding of humanity’s potential.
|
We need a whole new way of looking at the world and our role in it and to adequately foster the potential of future generations to meet the enormous challenges that they will face growing up.
|
This requires a focus on skills, not knowledge, and a truly 21st century education that fosters the development of enlightened, compassionate, inclusive and forward-thinking global citizens.
We need to be prepared to ask ourselves the hard questions and to engage in learning experiences that not only challenge and inspire but, critically, transform.
A new way of being
The arts are fundamental to our essence as human beings. It is the capacity to create that lifts us above other species and, whilst not making us more or less important than the natural world we share, does give us a responsibility to use that creativity for good towards mankind and the others who share our planet. Participation in the arts and creative learning opportunities help us to explore who we are and the reality we find ourselves in. And to offer the chance to imagine possibilities of where we would like to go
