Description
Gen Z currently makes up 32% of the global population so who exactly are they? What can we learn from them? How do they see the world and what does innovation mean to them? In the next three episodes, Creative Couch will be looking into Generation Z along with experts in the field and a couple of Gen Z’ers themselves! In this first episode, we are joined with special guests Laura Scatchard, learning producer at VIVITA Aotearoa, Professor Stephen Cummings, co-director of The Atom Innovation Space at Victoria University Wellington, and Yohan Kanji, an aspiring Wellington-based entrepreneur. Together we will start to unravel and understand the Z generation with a focus on COVID-19 and how the pandemic has shaped the future of our younger entrepreneurs. This episode of Creative Couch is hostedby Dr Colin Kennedy, Head of Creative HQ's School of Innovation and Senior Innovation Specialist. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
