Workshops

Students and staff are invited to drop in to listen to conversations, as the Talking Circle takes up residency at NTU this November. This Talking Circle brings together experts from politics, policing, the third sector and academia to discuss the causes and impact of the ‘trust deficit’ – from scandals and corruption, the role of the media, a dilution of accountability and embedded discrimination/inequality – and discusses potential solutions to inject trust back into public life.

  • To: Monday 25 November 2024, 3 pm

Event details

This activity is open to NTU students and staff.

From politics to policing, from the NHS to our utility companies, trust in public life and our public institutions has arguably never been so compromised. The impact of this so-called ‘trust deficit’ on societal cohesion and democracy is significant.

This Talking Circle brings together experts from politics, policing, the third sector and academia to discuss the causes and impact of the ‘trust deficit’ – from scandals and corruption, the role of the media, a dilution of accountability and embedded discrimination/inequality – and discusses potential solutions to inject trust back into public life.

About the Talking Circle

Programmed in collaboration by the School of Social Sciences’ Dr Paul Hamilton and NTU Arts, the Talking Circle is designed to challenge the status quo and recognise the value of healthy dialogue – and the importance of disagreeing agreeably – in addressing some of the most pressing social issues of our time.

You'll find the Talking Circle on Level 1 of the Newton Building, City Campus, next to Café Newton. No need to book, just drop in, pull up a chair, and listen in.
