RSA Engage events provide a brilliant platform to share ideas, seek support from others and establish and develop connections.
Following on from our first RSA Engage Nations event in April, we will feature innovative projects from across the nations of the British Isles seeking support from an informed audience, working to address social challenges and reflecting a positive vision for the future of the world, driving inclusive and sustainable action.
The event will feature four short talks and Q&As from socially focused work across the nations. Our speakers have worked in a variety of areas, such as neuro-linguistic programming, design and innovation, and nature and wellbeing among others. The presentations will be followed by an opportunity for you to ask questions, find out more from the people driving the ideas forward, and volunteer your support.
