ANDRÉ ANDERSON

I’m on a mission to use play to solve big problems.

André (he/him) is the Headmaster and Founder of Freedom & Balance, an Art College for the artist in everyone. He designs and leads creative programmes for communities and organisations of all kinds, helping them to playfully grow into the type of leaders their world looks for.

His most notable programme, Authors of the Estate, explores the question “how do you turn council houses into publishing houses?” This curriculum is set in the Chalkhill and St.Raphael’s estate in North-West London, resulting in dozens of local residents becoming confident, authentic, self-published authors. Authors of the Estate is set to expand into other UK-based council estates in the near future.

André is also an anime and video game enthusiast, has deep love for Lime bikes and walking/being near water, as well as being a big fan of anything Biscoff flavoured.

My favourite TED talk:
