Changemakers [2024]

Why did you apply to Changemakers? 

I wanted to educate myself personally more on climate change but more importantly explore how I could make a difference in some way through my work in developing stories. I am interested in how we can influence change, small or big, through the power of storytelling and at what point in the development process we can start consciously implementing this into narratives and ideas. Even stories that are seemingly not directly about climate issues.

 

What have you got out of it so far / what has changed or achieved by being part of Changemakers?

Connection with other people working across the industry and learning from them also. Love hearing about how others work in their roles and their passions around climate change and wanting to make a difference. Creating a community of like-minded TV professionals who can learn from and hopefully make a change together. And creating a safe space where we can learn and share ideas.
