How can arts and culture unleash community creativity and amplify civic voices?

Join us in the Great Room at RSA House, where our expert panel will share insights and experiences from their work on impactful, community-led projects. Discover how these initiatives have empowered citizens to speak up for their communities and shape their shared future.

The panel will explore key aspects of our Prosperous Places framework, including civic voice which provides strategies to empower residents to take an active role in developing their communities, and grassroots advocacy which equips individuals with the tools to become effective advocates for sustainable and inclusive development.

The event is in collaboration with Dash Arts and will feature their Artistic Director and Chief Executive Josephine Burton, Alan Finlayson (Professor of Political & Social Theory, University of East Anglia), Alecky Blythe (Playwright), and and Dawid Konotey-Ahulu (co-founder of Redington, Mallowstreet, and 10,000 Interns). 

Note: this event will take place at RSA House and will be live streamed online - please ensure to register for the correct ticket type to avoid disappointment
