Last Tuesday night, my party stepped into the Leonardo Royal Hotel near St Paul’s Cathedral in evening wear and high spirits – and walked away with five Learning Excellence Awards, three of them Gold. An astonishing result. Though perhaps not so surprising when I stop to consider the quality of the projects we’ve been lucky enough to be involved with.
All five awards were for work that draws directly on our Drama for Change methodology—an approach I’ve developed over the years to turn fiction into a catalyst for real-world behavioural change. I’m proud of the work, of course, but even more so of the organisations who commissioned and co-created these remarkable initiatives. These awards are shared wins, and richly deserved.
