The Inquiry Commission is keen to hear your views about the Future of Civil Society in the UK and Ireland. We are also interested in contributions that reflect on the European and global dimensions of civil society, especially in so far as they relate to the UK and Ireland.
We continue to welcome 'think-pieces' relating to the future of civil society. To find out more about writing a think piece click here. To view some of the think-pieces which have already been submitted, please visit the think-piece section of our site.
The Inquiry is currently running two surveys that will feed into its research. The Inquiry Commission would love to hear from you!
To complete one of the Inquiry surveys please follow the links below:
The Marginalisation of Dissent
This survey relates to the role of civil society in enabling dissent. A key theme that emerged from the Inquiry’s recent futures work raised concerns about the marginalisation of dissent, both in the UK and in the global context. The purpose of the research is to explore the following issues:
- The degree to which people believe dissent is marginalised or suppressed
- The ways in which dissent is enabled/inhibited
- What practically needs to be done and by whom to enable dissent.Civil society associations and their application of social & new media
This survey looks at how civil society organisations are using social media, which tools they favour, and what they hope to achieve by using them. We want to get an improved insight in to the use of social and new media from civil society organisations to see how they can better stay ahead of the curve.
Feel free to send any comments or questions about how you can contribute to Morven@carnegieuk.org.
