Change Agents is a network for creative minds at UAL who have an active interest in designing for social change.
By driving forward changes in communities and networks throughout UAL and beyond, the work of Change Agents is crucial to creating sustainable and long-term change.
A Change Agent is someone who designs or thinks for social change. We aim to connect the best creative minds at UAL who share a vision to build a fairer, healthier and more sustainable world.
This Interest group will work towards sharing, supporting and promoting UAL's student and staff projects surrounding socially valuable, human centred design that enables and inspires people to change their lives and the lives of those around them for the better.

UAL’s Post-Grad Community Programme supports a growing number of issue-specific, cross-disciplinary interest groups led by postgraduate students and academics.
These groups connect creatives with shared research/practice interests across different specialisms and subject areas. Interest Groups are a great way to build new networks at UAL for MA and PhD students with shared interests. A useful tool for finding cross-disciplinary MA students to work with on planned projects/activities, creating new audiences and ways to formally promote your practice.
