As part of the Changemakers Making an Impact event held at the London College of Communication (LCC) - UAL, Chiara presented their work through three projects:

  • Wall Project
  • Changemaking Led By Students

Through three interconnected projects, the presentation highlighted how co-created, justice-oriented approaches can shift power dynamics, foster student voice, and support collaborative learning environments.

By embedding values of radical interdependence, feeling-thinking pedagogy, and liberatory education, the work demonstrates how students can lead meaningful, systemic transformation—within and beyond the institution.
