The Keynes Centre UCC Film Club for Leadership Development

Through the Lens of Arendt is a film club with a difference. Aimed at going beyond the buzzword ‘empathy’ and enhancing leadership judgement capabilities, the club offers a unique way to develop yourself personally and professionally in a premiere location: the Cameo Cinema, Montenotte Hotel.

Over four months, at monthly intervals, you will watch four carefully selected films, engage in a two-hour exploration of some of Hannah Arendt’s most powerful ideas and practice their application in thinking about particular real-life cases. There will also be a fifth wrap-up session.

The real-life cases in this Film Club show how people thought and acted differently from each other – some thoughtfully, others thoughtlessly – despite living the same extreme historical situation and allow you to explore the impact this thinking and acting had on relating to others.

Led by a team of internationally experienced academics and business practitioners from The Keynes Centre UCC, this unique development programme will suit those wishing to practice independent thinking, go beyond the ‘empathy fad’, and engage in genuine dialogues. It will be mostly beneficial to team leaders responsible for building and sustaining effective teams capable of putting themselves in the place of others

The programme is co-organised with the MBA Association of Ireland, Southern Chapter.
