Can sharing our ‘deep stories’ help heal social divisions, create stronger communities, and produce a better, wiser politics? Ed Cox, the RSA’s director of Public Services and Communities welcomes journalist, writer and critic John Harris to host an evening of story-telling by ordinary people living extraordinary lives. Bringing a range of experience from across the UK, our narrators explore the ‘new giants’ facing 21st century Britain - inequality, isolation, intolerance, disempowerment and climate change. Their stories reveal the everyday realities of local communities responding to these challenges with courageous and innovative efforts for change. SUBSCRIBE to our channel!
