The Power of Agency - A Conversation with Indra Adnan

What does it really mean to have 'agency' and how might we create
more opportunities for young people to step into their agency in
meaningful ways? Indra Adnan has been exploring this concept in
communities around the world as well as in grassroots political
organising.


For over twenty years, Indra Adnan has been writing, consulting,
network-building and event-organising on the themes of future
politics, conflict transformation, the role of the arts and
integral thinking.


She is Founder and Co-initiator, together with Pat Kane,
of The Alternative UK political platform, which answers
the question: if politics is broken, what’s the alternative?


Indra has been writing consistently about soft power, public
diplomacy and the power of attraction and relationship in
international relations for over a decade, in major UK and US
publications.


Indra is also a psycho-social therapist, founder of
the Soft Power Network, and a writer and events producer.
She has consulted to the World Economic Forum, Indian, Finnish
and Danish governments, NATO, the Scottish Executive and the
Institute of Contemporary Arts amongst others. Indra is currently
Co-Lead in Bounce Beyond, a social enterprise network doing
transformative work to cohere and connect the next global
economies.


Her book The Politics of Waking Up: Power & Possibility
In The Fractal Age is published by Perspectiva Press.
