Introducing a new event series featuring one-on-one discussions with leading thinkers to consider how we can build a better future post-pandemic
At the heart of Local Trust and the Big Local programme, is a vision of empowered, resilient, dynamic, asset-rich communities making their own decisions on what is best for their area.
This is why we’re excited to be hosting a series of online talks with several leading experts and high-profile thinkers on how, after coronavirus, we can build a better economy, society, and planet, with community power as a core element.
These one-on-one discussions will explore the post–pandemic economy, transition to a low carbon society, the future of work and how it should be rewarded, and what happens when citizens want both more local and global governance.
Each discussion will also look specifically at the idea of community power and its future role beyond COVID-19.
These one-hour long events will see each speaker open with some initial remarks, before engaging in a wider dialogue and Q&A session.
The sessions will be chaired by Rayhan Haque, senior policy adviser at Local Trust.
They are open to all and free to attend, and will take place online using Zoom, tickets for each session will be made available after the previous one has finished. Please feel free to share details of any of these events with your friends, family, and colleagues. We are particularly keen to see residents and partnership members from Big Local communities participate.
