EnCaf Forums

Join us for our November Forum when we discuss the importance of neighbourhood development to tackle climate change. How do we create a more citizen led community and then what is the role of our local councillors in that. Here we have two speaker who have worked at developing neighbourhood democracy and also a Councillor active in his local community.

Join us on Thursday, November 27th at 7.00 pm

Speakers Include

Irenie Ekkeshis, will join us and she is the co-founder New Citizenship Project and believes that when we think of ourselves as citizens rather than consumers, we’re more likely to participate, volunteer and come together to make our society stronger. That’s why our mission at New Citizen Project is to catalyse a shift to a more participatory, citizen-led society

Catriona Rawsthorne is from Civic Square in Birmingham and has worked on neighbourhood transition, including the co-design and building of regenerative social and civic infrastructure where transitions are designed, owned and governed by the people who live there. For Catriona a cross-sector policy dialogue in localities is important. So what is the role of citizens and what of Councillors?

Doug Taylor will be joining us, a former Leader of Enfield Council and is presently the Councillor for Palmers Green. Doug is known for his inclusive style of leadership and a believes in community engagement even championing the idea of neighbourhood budgets. We will be asking him if neighbourhood and party politics are in conflict with each other and what can be done to change it
