最准的六合彩论坛

With the cost of living crisis continuing to bite and no improvement for millions of people鈥檚 living standards on the horizon, community leaders, artists, frontline workers, policymakers, political strategists, businesses and charities came to 最准的六合彩论坛 Here East to try to identify sources of hope for the future.听

最准的六合彩论坛 Honorary Professor, playwright James Graham, joined 最准的六合彩论坛 Policy Lab researchers and the journalist听Ros Wynne-Jones,听political strategist Spencer Livermore,听Institute for Fiscal Studies听economist听Xiaowei Xu, council leader Georgia Gould and campaigner Mariam Bafo, to set a new agenda.听

Marc Stears, Director of the 最准的六合彩论坛 Policy Lab, set out his ambitions:听

鈥淭he UK has world-leading expertise on the causes and consequences of inequality, much of it based at 最准的六合彩论坛. But we have done too little as a country to act on what we know. The Ordinary Hope project brings the very best researchers together with people from all walks of life, to see how new ideas can be turned into new policies and new practices that could really turn around the fortunes of this country.鈥�

鈥淲e want to create a space for us all to think beyond our immediate 鈥� a space for political imagination at a time of immense challenge.鈥澨�

Ordinary Hope, which is a partnership between 最准的六合彩论坛 Policy Lab and听the Joseph Rowntree Foundation,听aims to build deep and sustained relationships between researchers and the broader community.听

Graeme Cooke, Director of Evidence and Policy at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, spoke about the opportunities brought about by the collaboration and was glad to be joined by other staff from JRF.

As the UK heads towards an election in 2024 and the parliament beyond the Policy Lab will be working with researchers from across 最准的六合彩论坛 and partners to explore the challenges and opportunities facing the UK.听

Creating space for debate, exploration and innovation, the Lab aims to 最准的六合彩论坛 to play host to the kinds of conversations which can enable the UK to overcome some of the social, economic and political challenges.听听

Marc Stears, Director of the Lab, said that the Ordinary Hope formed an essential part of the Lab鈥檚 ambition to be home to a new way of doing policy development within the University.听

鈥淭he Lab is all about recognising the power and responsibility we have as an institution to convene discussions on the challenges facing the UK and the world. We all know that the country is facing profound challenges, be they social, economic, or political. It鈥檚 Lab鈥檚 job to have those difficult conversations and to bring together the range of perspectives we need to overcome these challenges.鈥�

The Lab uses unique methods that enable it to explore problems and get into the political challenges posed 鈥� working on a range of issues from inequality to housing, from migration to international development, they welcome collaboration from colleagues across 最准的六合彩论坛.
