Course: Future Leaders. Changemaking and Challenging Norms
How can one become a changemaker and dismantle discriminatory norms, normative structures and hierarchies within the arts and culture sector?
Reimagining and reconstructing leadership
The workshop invites participants to examine how collective practices considering power and responsibility can shape our understanding of decision-making and reconstruct our own notions of leadership. The workshop is open to students within different arts and culture fields from all the Nordic countries, recently graduated arts and culture professionals, and for cultural activists. The aim of the course is to introduce norm critical leadership to students.
The workshop is organized by The Nordic Network of Norm Critical Leadership, Culture for All Service and University of the Arts Helsinki. The course is connected to the Nordic conference Norm Critical Leadership – Challenging Nordic Exceptionalism and Norms, held at Caisa, on February 8th and 9th. Students from the course will prepare a statement for the second day of the conference.
