The Carnegie UK Tust's latest publication, Power Moves: Exploring Power and Influence in the UK, was launched at the Scottish Parliament's Festival of Politics on Friday 22 August.
Power Moves provides a real-life account of how people have influenced change. The report tells the stories of four recent policy decisions and examines the role of civil society associations in influencing the decision. These four case studies explore the issues of energy, school dinners, equalities and English language teaching.
On the 21st September 2006, the Carnegie UK Trust organised a 24 hour workshop to inform the work of the Democracy Initiative – a strand of the Trust’s new Democracy and Civil Society programme. The day was facilitated by the International Futures Forum and was designed to challenge participants’ perceptions and understanding of the democracy landscape.
