SPARKS: IDEAS UNBOXED – Introducing Sparks with Dr Ella Gilbert

This series of short audio Sparks has been created from talks recorded during Unboxed - a UK-wide festival of creativity that brought together Arts, Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEAM).

Each Spark contains at least one take-away idea that you can apply to your own thinking, whatever your approach or discipline.

The collection contains messages across Arts and Sciences, of positivity, community and how by unboxing our thinking we can imagine and effect progress against some of the biggest challenges we are facing together. 

Sparks are shared in partnership with the RSA. Throughout 2022, UNBOXED worked with the RSA to deliver a global exploration research project called ‘Collective Futures’, examining the power of collaboration between people from different backgrounds, perspectives and areas of expertise; uncovering ways that collective imagination can help us build better futures for people, places and planet.

Disclaimer: The Sparks are made from talks recorded online during the pandemic - so the sound quality varies in places, but this shouldn’t prevent you from enjoying the material.
