From Despair to Action: Building Progressive Futures
Find out how to engage with a panel discussion with leading thinkers and activists, hosted by the Sussex School for Progressive Futures.
Join us for a panel discussion with Dr Caroline Lucas, Andrew Simms and Jean McLean, chaired by Professor Peter Newell.
Where are the grounds for hope when there are plenty of reasons to despair about the state of the world? War, deepening inequalities, racial and gender discrimination, and a climate and biodiversity crisis mean our future is uncertain, especially for younger people. But where are the grounds for hope? Not naive optimism, but action, struggle, experience and experimentation that show the world doesn’t have to be like this, and that people are building new ways of living well in sustainable and flourishing communities and economies.
