Description

Worldwide, democracy and political leadership are at a crossroads. Faced with crises like climate change, inequality, and war, some nations are turning towards autocratic, populist politicians who reach for easy and divisive answers to complex challenges. We need something very different. Leaders who govern for the whole of humanity, not just their nation or party, who have courage and wisdom to tackle systemic problems, and resilience to do so despite the opposition of vested interests. So, how do we cultivate that leadership? Sustain it in systems that are corrupting? And make it attractive to voters. Organised by Global Compassion Coalition.

Discussion about the big issues facing our society is no longer limited to a select few - the rise of social media has opened the field to everyone. This means injustices and outdated assumptions can be challenged, and marginalised voices heard, but those with questionable motives and harmful agendas can also be heard – and often shout louder. Is this shift empowering a new age of social activism and accountability, or are we seeing the corrosion of informed debate and the rise of mob-like behavior? Join this interactive discussion organised by the UK Values Alliance.

What’s your experience with AI (artificial intelligence)? Often people say we are doomed because AI will take away our jobs. Others are trying to use AI to make things faster, cheaper and easier. These are two ends of a scale: one with pessimism and fear, the other with ambition and drive. So, what about the middle? Can we make sense of AI and how it relates to the core of who we are as human beings: our values? What does AI mean for us in all aspects of our lives? How can it help us to bring our values to life and do good in our world? Organised by Bells Solutions.
