In 1754, William Shipley founded the RSA with a belief that the creativity of ideas could enrich social progress. Over 250 years later, we’ve taken inspiration and developed a series of Engage events across the UK to engage with, encourage, and support our Fellowship community to turn their ideas into action.
Join us at RSA Engage in Birmingham to discover and support projects that are tackling 21st century challenges, make new connections within the local Fellowship network, and contribute to the mission of the RSA.
A mix of ideas will be “pitched”, followed by an opportunity for you to ask questions, find out more from the people driving them forward and volunteer your support.
A CALL TO ACTION
RSA Engage provides a brilliant platform to ignite and share your ideas. If you’re working on a project that’s tackling social, economic or environmental challenges and you’d like to seek support from an informed and connected audience, apply to pitch.
The closing date for applications is 23 November. Support and advice for shaping your three minute call to action will be available before the event.
EVENT DETAILS
Location: Central RSA Academies Trust, Room B.06, Assay Studios, 141 – 143 Newhall Street, Birmingham, B3 1SF

MORE INFORMATION
RSA Engage events are a mix of short project pitches and facilitated networking. Each pitch will conclude with a call to action, encouraging the audience to share their skills and experience to help further the project. In between project pitches, there are short bursts of networking where you’ll be able to spark new connections and talk to the project pitchers about how you can support their work. There will also be opportunities to find out more about the RSA, our main areas of work, and how you can engage with our network of 29,000 Fellows.
We welcome non-Fellows who support the work of the RSA and anybody interested in finding out more about Fellowship to attend.

How can the RSA Academies Trust make an explicit connection between the article in this month's Journal on schools and the work of the local RSA Academies' Governing Bodies? How can we as Fellows make practical sense of the work of Todorov, quoted by Matthew Taylor also in this month's Journal. He talks about 'Autonomy, Universalism and Humanism'. Isn't there a conflict between the pressurised requirements of Ofsted for Excellence in schools and what Matthew advocates in the article? How can this circle be squared at local level? Impossible task?
