Manchester needs clean air but the push for a clean air zone has led to protests, arguments and despair. What led to this? And what could have been done at an earlier stage to avoid it?
Join us on 19 May at Home in Manchester, as Ruth Hannan from the RSA’s People and Place programme talks about the work we are doing to explore the impact participation can have on inequalities and creating systems that centre wellbeing. We’ll hear about work recently undertaken in both Birmingham and Scotland, and we’ll discuss how a more participatory approach to decision making and policy choices can lead to a more engaged and supportive electorate. And crucially, how a more participatory approach can lead to better decisions.
Stick around afterwards for informal networking and drinks in the bar.
Taking part in RSA in-person events
We've been looking forward to finally being able to meet together in person. But of course recognise it is important for us to stay cautious and make the environment safe for everyone.
We aim to have assurances from all venues that they will have basic COVID-safety processes in place.
We’re asking all attendees of events to be respectful of personal space, to be mindful of others preferences in regards to social distancing and to respect those that are wearing face coverings.
To participate in the event, you will need to register for a ticket so we can make sure we have an up-to-date list of those who plan on attending. This is for capacity purposes.
We request that all attendees evaluate their own health and that of those they’re in close contact with. We encourage all attendees that are sick or showing symptoms of illness to stay home and to cancel your Eventbrite ticket if you are no longer able to join the event.
Given the ever-changing nature of the pandemic, please always check your latest national Government guidance in addition to following our baseline guidance enclosed here. If guidelines do change, the event may be cancelled at short notice.
If you have any questions, or to let us know of any access requirements or reasonable adjustments you require, please email: networks@rsa.org.uk
