The 2023 SDA keynote address will be delivered by UNEP Champion of the Earth and design disruptor, Dr Leyla Acaroglu.In her SDA keynote address, Dr Acaroglu will look at design ethics, systems change, circularity and designing a positive future that works better for all of us.As designers, she says, we have immense influence on society — we help to design the future through the things we do and don’t create every day. This offers infinite potential and equally infinite impacts that we must contend with. With such rapid technological and cultural change, how can design create the cultural conditions that facilitate positive change, address some of the biggest issues of our day and level up our role in shifting the status quo?Following the address, RSA CEO Andy Haldane and RSA Director of Design Joanna Choukeir will present the 2023 awards, sharing an overview of each winning project, and inviting the people behind these inspiring ideas on stage to receive their awards.The RSA Student Design Awards is a global

The world stands at a cross-roads, in urgent need of a compelling vision that can renew faith in democratic and liberal ideals, and galvanize collection action towards a better future for all.For economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler, the ideas we need right now are to be found in the work of one of the giants of 20th-century philosophy, John Rawls.In Rawls, he argues, we have an unparalleled, as yet untapped intellectual resource, and the basis for a genuinely transformative progressive politics that matches up to the scale of our social, economic and ecological challenges.Rawls offers us a map and compass for the journey to a future where democracy and economy are reinvigorated, prosperity is widely shared within the limits of our finite planet, and everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential.Join Daniel Chandler at the RSA to explore how we might make this ‘realistic utopia’ possible, and the steps we need to take to land there.#RSAdemocracyBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDona

“Education is the root of all the more specific crises such as climate change, governance breakdowns, impending war and social unrest.” - Zachary Stein, writer, educator, futuristThe 2022 Times Education Commission set out to examine the entire UK education system and consider its future in the light of the Covid-19 crisis, declining social mobility, new technology and a shifting skills landscape.Andy Haldane is joined by Commission Chair Rachel Sylvester; Lord Blunkett and Lord Baker to discuss the case for a radical re-think in addressing the acute educational needs of the 21st century.A system shift in education and learning is required to bring about fundamental change – a re-imagining of existing models to develop practical interventions which meet the needs of educators, businesses, learners and society as a whole.This event has been made possible through the partnership and vision of the Comino Foundation as part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of their founding by the inventor, engineer and

In his 2023 RSA President’s Lecture, Sir Peter Bazalgette will outline the current context of the creative industries and discuss opportunities to unleash the energy and potential of the sector to drive transformational change across society and the economy.Sir Peter is joined by five creative entrepreneurs, innovators across the sub-sectors of screen, CreaTech, games and fashion, whose projects exemplify industry dynamism, value and impact.These initiatives are part of a revolution in creativity driven by an escalation of creative clusters and higher education spinouts. However, the skills deficit and access to finance must be tackled to unlock the sector’s full potential. Investment in research and development to influence creative industry policy and practice is critical to allow innovations to flourish and shape better futures.Find out more about the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC) hosted by the RSA and Newcastle University.#RSAcreativeindustriesBecome an RSA Events sponsor:

Rana Foroohar, associate editor at the FT and one of the world's leading economic commentators, argues that path to prosperity, sustainability and equity lies in a local, place-based economics fit for the 21st century. The journalist Joseph Stiglitz has acclaimed for being 'consistently right about globalisation', argues that with the pandemic exposing the vulnerability of global trade and supply chains; tensions building between the China and the west; and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we are beginning to see the first signs of a move toward de-globalisation. The risks of our interdependency are becoming ever clearer, and with increasing inequality, wage stagnation, and the effects of climate change, many are beginning to question the ideological hegemony that places global profit over local prosperity.Can we rescue the best of global interconnectedness and exchange whilst re-focussing on the local and regional? And can we avoid the worst of protectionism and nostalgia whilst pursuing home interests? Join us

The dominant global educational system was designed to meet the needs of the Industrial Age - an age of mass production and consumption which has brought us to today's multifaceted ecological, economic and social tipping points.There is now growing awareness that we need to learn a new way of living and working in harmony with each other, as well as the natural world - and that needs to start at the earliest stages of education, and continue across the life-course.Fortunately, we don't need to reinvent the wheel - there are beacons of light across the educational establishment that signal other ways of learning - imaginative and learner-led experiential and holistic systems that can help us towards developing truly regenerative cultures and economies, rooted in the care and nurture of both people and planet.Join Satish Kumar, a guiding spirit of internationally respected ecological and educational movements for change for over 50 years, and a panel of innovative educators at the RSA to discover powerful new w

A good team needs a considerate leader that can encourage cooperation and create a resilient environment where people can operate at their best. A good team should be built on strong social bonds that hold tight even when their only point of contact is a phone or a computer.But how does this work and how can psychology help us better understand how human groups function?Join leading experts from the worlds of evolutionary psychology and business management, Tracey Camilleri, Samantha Rockey and Robin Dunbar as they talk us through the ‘social brain’. They will explore what these ideas can teach us about the relationships between human groups and how to create great, high-performing teams.#RSAsocialbrainBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficialJoin our Fellowship: https:

Nails, springs, wheels, magnets and string - these individual wonders have built our modern world. Each component has a long history and is the result of many iterations and refinements. Together, they have enabled humanity to see the invisible, build the spectacular and communicate across vast distances. Join award-winning engineer and broadcaster Roma Agrawal as she deconstructs our most complex feats of engineering into seven fundamental inventions that have changed our lives - and our societies - in dramatic ways.#RSAinventionsBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficialJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join 

At the RSA, in partnership with the Ukrainian Institute London, Oleksandra Matviichuk will reflect on her work as head of the Center for Civil Liberties, an organisation that has promoted the protection of human rights and has worked tirelessly to document war crimes and human rights violations perpetrated in Russia’s war against Ukraine.Join us to explore how new alliances for the defence of human rights and the restoration of justice can serve as the basis of peace in Ukraine and the world.This event is in partnership with the Ukrainian Institute London.#RSApeaceBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficialJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join 

Government decisions determine the welfare of the poor and elderly, the state of our health service, the shape of the education system and much more. This spending power is funded by layers of taxes that touch all corners of our income, savings, and spending habits. Look closely at taxation and you’ll find winners, losers and a system that is sorely in need of reform.Join Paul Johnson, Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, for this systemic examination of how the government collects and spends the money needed to run the economy. Paul will follow the money to see where it comes from, who it goes to, how that’s changed in recent years and what reforms are needed to meet new, costly challenges that lie on the horizon.#RSAeconomyBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsoff

Bringing Professor Mariana Mazzucato, a world-leading economist heralded as one of the ‘25 leaders shaping the future of capitalism’ (WIRED), together with Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados and one of TIME’s 100 most influential world leaders, this event offers a unique opportunity to hear two global trailblazers discuss what it means for governments to lead a just green transition.They will discuss the need for state leadership to align economic growth and climate goals, the importance of building state capacity to lead instead of over-relying on the consulting industry – drawing on Professor Mazzucato’s forthcoming book, The Big Con: How the Consulting Industry Weakens our Businesses, Infantilizes our Governments and Warps our Economies – and their new collaboration on a green industrial strategy for Barbados. Together they will question how governments can reclaim leadership and drive innovation and growth in the face of economic and climate insecurity.This event is held in association with the UCL I

Across society, politics and culture, the North has a distinct sense of regional identity. With roots in its time as Britain’s nineteenth-century industrial heartlands, Northern identity was once defined by a sense of innovation and future-focused thinking. However, the deindustrialisation and austerity of the past few decades have clouded that sense of achievement and led the North to become one of the most impoverished regions in the UK.Join Alex Niven, leading voice on Northern identity and culture, as he takes a fresh look at the roots and future of the North-South divide. Here with Zoe Billingham of IPPR North, Alex will explore the historical events and political decisions that have shaped Northern identity while setting out a vision for how the region can unlock a more rebalanced future of promise and potential.#RSAthenorthBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitte
