RSA West Midlands and CoLab Dudley: Ideas Worth Spreading

Bringing people together with popcorn and screenings of inspiring talks to spark discussion and connections.

From the talents, skills and knowledge of people in our communities and organisations, to the built and natural environment, to our easy access to many technological and social innovations.
