Cumberland Lodge

A new report published by Cumberland Lodge and St Paul's Cathedral, London has highlighted that Gen Z are more likely to speak out against work practices that misalign with their values than older generations. The report was launched at St Paul's Cathedral last night with an intergenerational panel discussion around Gen Z and the workplace, particularly in the finance sector. Panellists joined from across the finance and education sector, including Cumberland Lodge's Programme Director Professor melissa butcher, Nadia Minors, Head of Compliance at Vocalink, a Mastercard company, Clement Hutton-Mills, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs and Non-Executive Chapter Member and Lay Canon at St Paul’s Cathedral, and Yunus Alom and Katerina Karamani representing Gen Z.

"Walking in was an awkward experience as I am rarely acquainted to such historical places, but learning the history and how it makes some people feel, allowed me to feel differently." 💬 A month on from the launch of our Youth Arts Takeover, take a look at the portraits created by young people from Together As One (Aik Saath) and Immediate Theatre, displayed here at the Lodge in conversation with our existing artwork 🖼️ The Takeover was supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

A week was spent at Cumberland Lodge learning from and with the best brilliant minds across the UK. It was a chance to engage the funder perspective, especially when it involves data generation, hosting and sharing, and managing power imbalances between developed and LMIC scientists.

About a month ago, I had the privilege of returning to Cumberland Lodge as the artist practitioner delivering a poetry workshop for the incredibly talented teenagers from Together As One (Aik Saath) and Immediate Theatre during the Youth Arts Takeover. We explored the question, 'What does heritage mean to you?' through creative expression. Working alongside Theresa Macharia (photography) and Kinetika (textile design), we spent two days creating flags, capturing photographs, and writing/recording powerful poems. The creativity and depth these young people brought to their work truly blew me away. Their artwork, including the poems we crafted together, is now proudly displayed around the Lodge.
