You don't need to be a LSE student to hear from some of the uni's brightest minds. This free week-long festival has a packed line-up of events that showcase its professors alongside big name speakers from all walks of life, including comedian Nish Kumar, President of the European Investment Bank Nadia Calviño, footballer Alexei Rojas, multiplatinum musician Adam Met, broadcaster and author Mishal Hussian and economist Professor Mariana Mazzucato.
There'll be discussions about how we can rebrand climate activism, about how football can lead social change, and about what history can teach us about surviving turbulent political times. And the festival's family day (Jun 20) will let kids get involved in the discussion too, with fun activities including bootcamps on protecting the planet, themed cookie decorating, and puppet making.
