A Just City - Workshop on Social Justice in Milton Keynes

 

Not Just a City: a Just City

Workshop on Social Justice in Milton Keynes

There will be broadly three parts:

• keynote speech from Dr Chris Shannahan of Coventry University

• a time of small group discussions

• some brief presentations on means of tackling the issues

It will be framed by the goal of working towards a ‘manifesto for a Just City’ for Milton Keynes. The idea is that the small groups will contribute material that will be worked up into chapters of the manifesto. The manifesto then becomes a basis for campaigning.

More broadly, it is an opportunity for a broad range of people with an interest in making social justice a priority for our city to get together and talk. Talking is not a sufficient condition for change but it is necessary!

As Desmond Tutu said:

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
