The Carnegie UK Trust is supporting two events at party conferences this year. The focus of the events will be:
Growing a more civil economy through civil society
Amongst all the political energy that is focused on reducing the national deficit and rebuilding the public finances, what kind of economy do we want to emerge? This urgent and important seminar will look at the challenges facing politicians, economists and crucially all of those people and organisations who commit time and energy to creating a better society. Focusing on the roles civil society associations can play, including voluntary and community organisations, trade unions, faith-based organisations, cooperatives and mutuals, this event will explore how a civil economy can be grown that is more aligned with values that emphasise responsibility, good governance, human well-being and environmental sustainability.
