Groundwork’s Chief Executive, Tony Hawkhead, will be speaking at the Power shift - Big Society, localism and the environment conference on 1 February 2011.
He will join experts from CPRE, Acre, BTCV, Volunteering England, TCPA, LCRN, Futerra, LCCN and Izwe to explore the implications of the Big Society for creating a greener society, at this Green Alliance organised event.
About the event:
“This conference is a unique opportunity to examine the Big Society and localism agendas in light of efforts to build a more sustainable society. It offers new insight from the minister responsible for helping to make it all happen, informed debate between high profile commentators and a range of in-depth, interactive workshop sessions led by experts.
The event will bring key thinkers together with a diverse and influential audience drawn from Green Alliance's civil society, local and central government, policy and business networks. It is the ideal opportunity to get a handle on the implications and opportunities that these new agendas offer and will firmly place the aspiration of a greener society at the heart of the Big Society vision.”
You can find out more about the event by visiting the Green Alliance website.
The challenges and opportunities of the Big Society for the local environment are also explored in Tony Hawkhead's New Start blog: Yes, the Big Society can nurture our green spaces, but it can’t come for free.
