A global network of creative climate changemakers
Our Changemakers programme, formerly known as Creative Climate Leadership (CCL), is an international programme that empowers artists and cultural professionals to take action on the climate and ecological crisis.
Designed and delivered by Julie’s Bicycle in partnership with institutions around the world, the Changemakers programme equips creative leaders with the tools, knowledge and networks they need to inspire and embed change in their work, communities and organisations.

Meet our alumni
The programme alumni network includes artists, curators, producers and cultural workers from every corner of the globe. Whether through follow-up events, ongoing bulletins or peer-led collaborations, our alumni continue to support and learn from each other long after the course ends.
Attending CCL was a really formative experience for me, both professionally and personally. I left empowered, emboldened and with a network of artists and practitioners to help me make change in my organisation and communities.
