Mulberry School for Girls and the Mulberry Schools Foundation is partnering with Jude Kelly CBE for a two-year residency as ‘Thought Leader’. Over this period, Jude will lead a series of six Mulberry Think-ins to generate, communicate and celebrate young people’s ideas and priorities for achieving a gender equal world.
Mulberry Think-ins extend serious debate about issues facing girls and women globally to young people and adults whose voices are less usually heard. Inspired by Jude Kelly and her invited contributors, participants will collectively generate ideas and solutions that will enable more girls and women to reach their true potential as individuals and leaders.
The results of each Think-in will be disseminated through Thought-gems via the digital networks of WOW, MST and partner organisations. Participants will be invited to contribute further Thought-gems, created independently possibly through art work, creative writing or film. Participants will also lead a presentation to, or discussion with, others to build their leadership skills and to widen the debate further.
