Political disengagement is rising in the UK, with declining turnout, eroding trust, and growing polarisation. Some groups, particularly young people and the economically disadvantaged, are especially disengaged. Join us for this online event, to get some practical insights into methods of engaging the disengaged in making change in politics, democracy and civil society, specifically aimed at policy makers and campaigning organisations. Find out about our FREE toolkit and how you can use it.

In this presentation Margaret Ebubedik, Research Fellow in Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies (WELS), will draw on her body of work to share insights into her Stakeholder Knowledge Exchange, Engagement, and Partnerships (SKEEP) approach, which she has applied across diverse humanitarian, peacebuilding, and development contexts. 

This event is part of the Thinking Expansively Seminar Series (TESS).
