Perspectives is a podcast developed and curated by TEDxUAL. Through a series of conversations and discussions with featured students across UAL, Perspectives aims to explore how different opinions and schools of thought can challenge the way we think, enable us to improve our personal and professional lives, and become catalysts for positive change in the world.

On our debut episode, meet Nour Hassaine, Journalism student at LCC by day; lead organiser of TEDxUAL, SSSHAKE Stories co-manager and photographer at SSSHAKE, co-founder and editor of Unsettled Magazine by night. A multidisciplined professional, Nour chats with us about ambition, creativity and tenacity, and how they drive her in the various projects under her belt, while also sharing her perspective on finding fulfillment in an endless learning journey.
