Models for Social Change: New Debate and Democracy
SEMINAR
Date: 25th September 2012
Venue: Wren Suite, St Paul's Cathedral
Time: 6.30pm - 8.00pm
Held in conjunction with Our Democratic Heritage, this seminar will cover themes of direct democracy, technology and its impact on social campaigning, and the way in which we can help promote and facilitate public discourse that explores the meaning of the common good.
What could be considered the successes and failures of Occupy's political experiment with direct democracy, and where is Occupy now? How is technology and social media changing the way we communicate political ideas and campaigns? What can be learned from other models of representative democracy such as Citizens UK or models used throughout Europe and more broadly, and in what way might St Paul's continue to be a centre for public discourse?
Speakers:
Neil Jameson - Chief Executive of Citizens UK and Lead Organiser for London Citizens
Dr Sara Hagemann - Lecturer in EU Politics, London School of Economics and Political Science
Ludovica Rogers - Facilitator of General Assemblies and part of the Occupy London media group
Dr Dan Plesch - Director, Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (SOAS) and Co-Founder of Our Democratic Heritage
Chaired by Canon Dr Angus Ritchie - Director, The Contextual Theology Centre

I look forward to seeing many of you there, and as always if you are not able to make the event itself you will be able to view it in full on our website a few weeks afterwards - www.stpaulsinstitute.org.uk
All the best and kind regards,
Robert
