What does innovation mean to Generation Z? What do younger generations make of our world and how do they see our/their future? Continuing our voyage through the seas of Gen Z, we will dive deeper into the reasons many Gen Z'ers believe innovation to be a crucial way of thinking when surviving and succeeding in a post-COVID world. Joined by special guests Elizabeth Pittman, Head of Young Enterprise Programme and Kadri Uljas, co-founder of VIVITA Aotearoa, we consider if innovation can be in fact taught or learned? Or Is Gen Z a naturally innovative generation? This episode of Creative Couch is hosted by Dr Colin Kennedy, Head of Creative HQ's School of Innovation and Senior Innovation Specialist.
