VSNW are pleased to announce their Festival of North West Thinking 2020 taking place online over four weeks from 23rd October through to 12th November.
The theme of this year’s festival will be Covid-19 recovery.
Last March the world as we knew it changed dramatically. Since then, the sector has been working harder than ever – adapting to new ways of working to continue delivering essential services and support to communities across the North West. Over these past six months, the conversations VSNW have been working to support and facilitate across the region have increasingly shifted from co-ordinating the sector’s immediate emergency response to Covid-19 to looking forward to how we rebuild, and what we want this new world to look like.
The Festival of North West Thinking is VSNW’s attempt to bring together the different threads of Covid-19 recovery conversation taking place across the region. It’s an opportunity for us to listen to and learn from one another, to identify and analyse the salient issues we’re collectively facing; and to strategise around how the sector can capitalise on the opportunity to rebuild a more equitable, socially just society.
The Festival will be comprised of four online events.
