We invite you to Imagine Being a World Leader. This is the brain child of artists DashnDem, who have been working with children from Blackness Primary, teaching them how to carry and present themselves as politicians, ultimately donning a blazer, taking to the podium and delivering their speech. You can see the kids in action at an exhibition at the DCA, and you can also have a go yourself.

And so if primary school children can learn to deliver a moving speech, surely mastering the art of rhetoric and public speaking shouldn't be a problem for an educated adult who wants to be a leader. Well for some it doesn't come so easily....hopefully Mitt and Barack will take note not to follow the leaders who fail to inspire, connect, or even make sense! Stephen Reicher, Professor of Psychology from the University of St Andrews, breaks down what makes a great relate-able leader.
