Sunrise Sessions
Imagine a future where Australia’s greatest national exports are culture and creativity. In this session, Blackbird Foundation shares the story of a new generation of worldbuilders - young people who are using passion, imagination and creativity to shape the future. It’s a call to arms for anyone holding capital, influence, or belief: to back young people to shape the world they’re going to live in. Come hear how we’re building the scaffolding for a more creative nation - and why investing in the next generation might just be the most transformational thing you do.
