Can politics ever be creative, or is it doomed to potholes, policies, and painfully long council meetings?
In this episode of Creative Consultants, Trudi and Matt throw the rulebook out the window and invite the wonderful Cr Connie Boglis OAM into the Treehouse of Curiosity.
Connie is many things: counsellor, advocate, author, world-traveller. Today, she’s here to help us explore:
✨ How advocacy and mental health reform require imagination.
🌱 Why co-design and creativity might be the missing link in politics.
🎨 How grief, healing, and children’s storytelling connect to social change.
🌍 And whether creativity is secretly a rebellious force that could reshape communities.
🎙️ Join the conversation: Drop your thoughts below! If every council had a Department of Creativity, what would YOU want it to work on first?
