RSA Engage: Responding to the Coronavirus crisis

Want to lend your skills to support social change projects? Join us to hear from two Fellow-led projects and discover others via our online collaboration platform Wazoku.

 In this online event, two Fellows will share how their projects are responding to challenges emerging due to or exacerbated by the pandemic, ending with clear calls to action. There will be a chance to offer your skills and expertise to develop these initiatives via the Wazoku platform, and to learn more about how these practical solutions were created through two Q&A sessions.

About our speakers: Merilee Karr FRSA will share how her project is using empty homes to provide free accommodation for NHS workers. Find out more about NHS Homes here. Kate Kneale FRSA is coordinating a festival to support seaside town economies affected by the coronavirus. Find out more about the Back & Fill Festival here.
