Big Global Society: unlocking social action on global issues

A national conference on Tuesday 2nd November 2010.

 

Why the Big Global Society?

The Coalition government has emphasised the importance of the Big Society, but it has focused primarily on local initiatives. To be a truly big society, and to meet the challenges of international poverty and climate change, we need to be a ‘Big Global Society’. This conference will be of interest to anyone seeking to engage the public in global issues, including NGOs, educators, policy makers, social enterprises, trade unions and progressive businesses.

 

The conference will explore the latest thinking on how we can educate and engage the public in global agendas. Sessions include:

 

·         The state of public engagement with global issues;

·         Funding the big society

·         The role of NGOs in educating and engaging the public

·         What sort of education system do we need to promote a big global society?

·         A big society for sustainable development

·         The politics of the big global society

 

Confirmed speakers include:

 

Hetan Shah (DEA)

Duncan Green (Oxfam)

Anna Coote (New Economics Foundation)

Ben Tuxworth (Forum for the Future)

Kathryn Busby (Equality Trust)

Spencer Henson (Institute of Development Studies)
