The Ad Hoc Enquiries: Do you have a new theory?
Starting in February 2012 Social Spaces will be running a series of 12 exploratory new events at Hub Westminster.
The primary assumption for the project is that there is new knowledge to be built and that we need to find new collaborative ways of…

Unlocking Fellowship Potential in Different Ways
I firstly wanted to say thank you all the responses to the blog post I put out on Monday looking for potential partners for the SimpleCRB project. Everyone can see the potential of the RSA Fellowship, but we sometimes find it difficult to realise that potential in practical ways. From the blog post I had emails/comments from about 9 Fellows who had ideas or wanted to support the project, so thank you very much for responding so positively and quickly!
It was with this fresh…

SimpleCRB - Brilliant project needs partner
Last week I met with Anna Pearson who has been developing a number of marvellous projects to encourage volunteering. One these is SimpleCRB which, as the name suggests, aims to reduced the hassle, cost and time of current CRB. The project is at system build stage and the project is looking for a partner (local authority, university, voluntary organisation) who do an excess 3,000 per annum to move this valuable project forward. More detail below.... please contact me…

thanks Tessy & all for an interesting thread. My experience is that certainly there is some great practice out there and skills are being learned through experiment and practice, but as the Civic Limits report from Respublica observed there is…

Tessy Britton replied to Tessy Britton's discussion 'Beyond the Big Society Report' in the group Big Society
You are right of course Julian - more peer-to-peer learning much needed!
Thanks Michael - agree also about the range of audiences we need to engage - we have seen a variety of approaches working in different contexts...

Julian Dobson replied to Tessy Britton's discussion 'Beyond the Big Society Report' in the group Big Society
Tessy, I pretty much agree with everything you say here - I'm just not convinced that the RSA paper does surface and understand the extraordinary things that are happening in communities. And unfortunately many extraordinary things wither…
Tessy Britton replied to Tessy Britton's discussion 'Beyond the Big Society Report' in the group Big Society
Thanks Julian - I agree with much of what you say - particularly on your points about a sort of top down narrative that is present in both Seldon's paper (I am not such a big fan of 'goodness' to be perfectly honest) and the…
Julian Dobson replied to Tessy Britton's discussion 'Beyond the Big Society Report' in the group Big Society
For what it's worth I posted some thoughts on this paper last month - an interesting contribution to the debate, but my conclusion (which rather reflects Ian's point) is that it's not so much the intellectual framework as the…

Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking
