Recent opinion polls have suggested that optimism concerning expectations of the future is declining. This shift has been attributed to climate change, equity, diversity and inclusion in society, projections of the future standards of living, and trust in political leadership. The event will explore the anxieties and opportunities Millennials, Gen Z, and others have with regards to these issues.
Tea and coffee will be served on arrival from 5.30pm and the event will start at 6pm. The discussion finishes at 7.30pm and will be followed by a drinks reception.
