Together w/ @UKRI_News, we’re excited to announce funding for 9 projects testing new possibilities for public dialogue through the Rethinking Public Dialogue fund. Explore the pilot projects below - each brings innovation to the field and we can’t wait to work with them!
First up, a ‘climate friendly pop-up supermarket and kitchen’ will, through a multi-stakeholder dialogue, develop an experience to enable more environmentally friendly food choices, led by @ImperialSpark,@theliminalspace & @thenourishhub.
Guided by @ucl, @UYSEG and @RushtonDr, ‘DICEY’ is focused on question creation and online workshops with under-represented people, scientists, policy-makers and artists. The questions they produce will become illustrated cards, to stimulate further public dialogue online.

Our report with @AutodeskFdn explores good work challenges facing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa that need to be addressed if all workers are to benefit from technological change. We make the following recommendations: [thread - 1/5] thersa.org/reports/future…
1. Create new skills and employment pathways: digital skills training provision is needed for most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, but more generally the education system needs to place a greater emphasis on job pathways that can bring young people into employment. [2/5]
2. Explore new forms of social protection: gig economy or platform work can provide informal workers with a degree of formalisation, but it does not offer sufficient social protection. Platforms may need to do more to support workers if they are to remain viable long term. [3/5]

What do the public think the Chancellor should do to support the economy now? We worked with @PopulusPolls to find out. [Thread] thersa.org/discover/publi…
66% support continuing the furlough scheme in limited sectors. But just 39% support continuing the full scheme indefinitely throughout the pandemic.
64% support housing benefits to cover the whole of a person’s mortgage or rent, to prevent a wave of evictions and/or repossessions. Younger groups lean more heavily in favour.

Key workers have kept the country going during the pandemic, but some are facing the worst of the economic turmoil created by it. Insights from our new briefing published today [Thread] thersa.org/discover/publi…
1. Most key workers report doing financially well during lockdown: 63% say their household has been “very” or “relatively comfortable financially” during the pandemic.

- 18% of school & nursery workers
- 14% of social care workers
- 10% percent of NHS staff.

How can history help reduce inequality? Today we publish our new report on Heritage and Inclusive Growth, in partnership with @BritishArts.

Here are 8 places in the UK where we saw the heritage sector making a difference in local communities: [Thread] thersa.org/discover/publi…
.@NewAngliaLEP is using heritage activities to benefit the local area – supporting projects like the Collaboration: Place: Change leadership programme & the Deep History Coast in North Norfolk, encouraging coastal walks @WritersCentre
In Dundee, investing in culture has paid off. Venues like @VADundee have worked in collaboration with each other & the local community. Making sure everyone feels redevelopment is ‘theirs’ & they feel pride in the city.
