“Changes, challenges, opportunities – Kingston, Westminster, globally”
with Rt. Hon. Sir Edward Davey, MP for Kingston and Surbiton; and Councillor Caroline Kerr, Leader of Kingston Borough.
Session one of three public discussions to explore lessons and insights generated by the crisis. How we can turn the bad experience to advantage, and build wiser and better lives together?
Covid is costing us dearly: lives cut short; education disrupted; jobs and businesses gone; inequalities worsened; huge resources consumed. Yet some good things can also come out of it. People know neighbours better. People have been helping each other in new ways. We are looking differently at the essential workers we do not pay well.
How we can now turn the bad experience to advantage, and build wiser and better lives together?
This session will analyse the situation from political viewpoints.
