BackResources8th July 2020
On 21st May, Ruth Daniel, CEO of In Place of War, gave a talk to our SUCCESS programme.
In Place of War is a global organisation that uses creativity in places of conflict as a tool for positive change. They enable grassroots change-makers in music, theatre and across the arts to transform a culture of violence and suffering into hope, opportunity and freedom. They were a spinout from the University of Manchester and have operated in over 26 countries.
The session provided many practical insights into how to start and grow a social enterprise. Here we share a few of the highlights from Ruth’s talk.
