This Saturday, 24 October from noon, please join me and other panelists for a 2020 Connected Conversations roundtable discussion as we come together to explore the following big questions from a truly global perspective:

The New Public Dialogue

  • What are the new ways of sharing ideas for change?
  • What’s working? And…?
  • What else do we need to make a real impact on climate, Covid-19 reset, the Global Goals and emerging global/local challenges?

The New Public Purpose

  • What are the new ways we need to act together?
  • How do we mobilise resources, public will and unified approaches?
  • How do we create new value through more collaborative and responsive approaches?

In a time of global crisis, 2020 Connected Conversations aims to showcase a critical mass of linked dialogues to also demonstrate to government and public institutions that grassroots conversation can make a valued contribution to shaping new ways forward.

Aligned with the UN75 global dialogue program, the Asia-Pacific session I’m attending will be framed by the UN75 issues and will contribute to the global insights capture process.
