Join us to explore the diverse practices and perspectives within our RSA Living Change approach. These are the vital ingredients we all need as changemakers to tackle complex social and environmental problems.
In this monthly interactive events series, we share with you the perspectives and practices that the RSA and our Fellows are using to imagine and realise better futures for people, place and planet.
From long-term thinking to collective action, from participatory futures to regenerative design, join us to discuss the roles they play in our and your changemaking work.
At this event, Michelle Lord (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Region of Learning Manager) from the Cambridge City Council will be joined by Tom Kenyon (RSA Head of Enterprise Design), Jahnvi Singh (RSA Senior Learning Designer) and Aidan Daly (RSA Researcher). They will share learnings from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Region of Learning, Skills and Opportunities (CPRoLSO) project, which is developing a lifelong learning infrastructure rooted in the needs of the learners and residents in a place.
CPRoLSO is an ambitious, multi-year social mobility project that aims to provide a unified, place-based approach to improving skills and career outcomes, particularly for young people furthest from learning and employment opportunities. Through an integrated digital platform called XP, the project recognises and makes accessible both formal and non-formal learning activities and connects them into inclusive pathways towards opportunities to work and thrive.
Grown from the RSA’s Cities of Learning model, our approach ties together three practices that are core to the RSA’s Living Change approach: evaluation, learning design, and systems thinking. We recognise that a lifelong learning ecosystem is co-created in place by engaging and empowering a diverse range of stakeholders through the right data and collaboration methods, and by building the capacity and capabilities of local leaders to facilitate and sustain transformative change in the place they call home.
Presentations from our speakers will be followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion.
We welcome all changemakers who are interested from different fields and disciplines, within and beyond our RSA Fellowship community.
