In the first episode of the Urban95 Academy Podcast, Katie Beck, Policy Fellow at LSE Cities and the Programme Manager of the Urban95 Academy speaks to Rushda Majeed, Chief Programme Officer at the Van Leer Foundation and Dr. Savvas Verdis, Senior Lecturer in Practice at LSE Cities and the School of Public Policy and Co-Director of Executive Education at LSE Cities, about the capacity building potential offered by collaboration between philanthropic organisations and executive education programmes.
Drawing on examples from the Urban95 Academy and other executive education programmes, the discussion touches on how tailored executive education programmes can influence city agendas, reach significant scale and build relationships. This conversation was recorded on the LSE campus during the 6th Urban95 Academy residence week in July 2024.
