Cannes Lions announces Roger Hatchuel Academy 2019 Participants
40 students representing 32 different countries will make up this year's class. Delivered in partnership with Creative Campus by Google, they will be benefit from a fully curated learning programme that will help them discover the different avenues of the industry, grow their personal networks and obtain a global, future-oriented perspective.
The students have undergone an intensive selection process, each having been nominated by our partner organisations in their countries and then being chosen by a global selection panel of 9 industry experts, headed by Josy Paul, Chairman & Chief Creative Officer of BBDO India.
The selection process was initiated in the fall of 2018 with the goal of making the Academy the most diverse curated learning experience at the Festival.
"This class is a reflection of the next generation of the Creative Industry that will change norms and set new standards."Maksimilian Kallhed and Abraham Asefaw, Co-Founders of The Pop Up Agency
Steve Latham, Head of Talent and Training shared:
"At The Cannes Lions School, we know that diversity leads to enhanced creativity and we want to nurture talent that is indicative of the industry we strive towards and the world we live in."
"We're very excited to share with you the class of 2019. Our rigorous selection process has led to the most diverse class we've had yet. Each of these students radiates potential. For them, the Academy is a milestone that will launch their careers. It will give them with a foundational understanding of different creative avenues and thought-provoking insights they would only be able to learn from each other in this unique global learning environment."
The Academy has been running since 2003 and will led this year by Maksimilian Kallhed and Abraham Asefaw, Co-Founders of The Pop Up Agency. The duo shared:
"We are proud to present the class of 2019. We were looking for students with inspiring stories and backgrounds. Students who have gone the extra mile to get where they are today. This class is a reflection of the next generation of the Creative Industry that will change norms and set new standards. We truly appreciate the ability to support and empower young minds and what we get in return is something you cannot put a price on. By doing this we sit in the front row with the future, the next generation brand and businesses leaders."
Saskia Owens, Creative Campus lead from Google, shared:
"We are thrilled to congratulate the class of 2019, and to play a part in helping these rising superstars prepare for their careers in the industry. We look forward to hosting the students on the Google Beach at Cannes Lions, as well as to welcome the class of 40 in our headquarters in Mountain View, California later in the year."
