‘Meet the Thinker: Jacinda Ardern’

At 37 years old, Jacinda Adern became the world’s youngest head of government at the time. As Prime Minister of New Zealand (2017–2023), her leadership was of a new kind: empathetic, emphasizing compassion and kindness. Guiding her country through a volcanic eruption, terrorist attacks, a major biosecurity breach, and a global pandemic, she also advanced visionary new policies to address climate change, reduce child poverty, and secure historic international trade deals.

Now, in her highly anticipated political memoir A Different Kind of Power (NL: De nieuwe macht, FR: Un autre art du pouvoir), Ardern challenges us to rethink leadership: What if kindness came first?

For one night only, Jacinda Ardern takes the stage at Bozar in an exclusive conversation, exploring with the audience how to shape a more compassionate future. Book your seat now to hear from one of the most inspiring leaders of our time.
