Innovative and thought-provoking charity, Promoting Economic Pluralism, is launching a series of free online events – for young people to create a better, more sustainable economic future.
Helping young people make this summer matter – and shape the future!
Promoting Economic Pluralism (PEP), together with a range of partners, is driving a new online festival to build back better in the aftermath of Covid-19.
The festival aims to give young people (25 years and under) from across the world a bigger voice in defining what building back better looks like. It’s not only a great chance to shape new economic models, but also help young people step up their career path in these challenging times.
Using an amazing digital platform, a bespoke virtual space is being designed to bring a rich, rewarding experience and a varied programme of activity to life. There will be talks and workshops to inspire and provoke fresh thinking. It’s an excellent chance to network too, meet business leaders and world-renowned experts, with mentoring support at hand to help develop new ideas.
Participants can join in discussions they want to be part of and meet the people they want to connect with, moving from one group to another – just like a real festival! The standout proposals will be presented in webinars and further developed, then the best ideas will be selected by a high-profile panel for public vote in October. Overall, a wonderful experience and for no cost.
PEP Founder and CEO, Henry Leveson-Gower, is passionate about promoting fresh thinking in economics. He said:
“Our current economic models are flawed. Major weaknesses have been highlighted by Covid-19 and we owe it to those who have suffered to use the recovery to find new ways to address inequalities and ecological issues we face. Our festival is a fantastic opportunity for young people to have a say in how we do this and kick-start the changes we need – entry is simple, and don’t forget, it’s all free!”
