“Building and strengthening bridges between important local stakeholders is a vital part of the solution to this puzzle. As someone who spent over 20 years in survey research, I’ve seen first-hand the power of research insight, often rooted in national data collections, in understanding people and populations. “Leading the British Social Attitudes study, for example, I valued its annual pulse-taking of a nation’s shifting perspectives. Yet these national snapshots can lack local specificity. Solving this challenge requires building and strengthening bridges between critical local stakeholders. “As Head of UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) creating opportunities theme, I can clearly see this national and local gap demands innovative responses. Where we live, our family background and our life experiences shape our lives from the cradle to the grave.” In the latest UKRI Voices, Alison Park, ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council Deputy Executive Chair, takes a look at how we can activate communities for regional renewal.

So excited to launch this useful new tool, that our team at Scanlon Foundation Research Institute has been working on over the last few months! Developed to empower government, policymakers, community leaders, organisations and practitioners, the Social Cohesion Compass offers a comprehensive understanding of community dynamics and democratic resilience at a local level. Strengthening democracy hinges on active participation and social cohesion. The Social Cohesion Compass aids in assessing individual and group engagement in civil society and political processes. With three accessible portals, you can delve into demographic insights, compare regions, and explore the relationship between political participation and key socio-economic factors.

✨ This week on Less Certain, I share why we need to think, talk, and define social cohesion differently. In this article, I share my experience working at the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) in 2021, developing the social cohesion policy, a few of the definitions I have found in my PhD journey, and some of the questions I think we should be asking ourselves. 🦅 Social cohesion matters today more than ever. 2024 will be a global inflection point with a mass democratic movement, the rise of machine learning and the unknown impacts that will have on democracies around the world, and our obvious ignorance about how to manage this huge social, political, and global collision. In New Zealand, we will also have the first year of a new government and the 2024 census data that will drive a lot of the new initiatives and decisions moving forward. That's a big year globally and in New Zealand. 🐸 So, I'll start sharing more about how we can be a cohesive society amidst this global and local environment. 🦔 Check the link, have a read and let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/g5i9-V4h

Information and knowledge play a key role in helping society grow and improve. Having access to accurate and useful information, along with the ability to understand and use it, is important for creating positive change. #B2BPublishers #GrassrootsAdvocacy #CommunityAdvocacy

How can we truly support young people in rural areas across Europe? Last week, our open conversation brought together youth organisations, institutional representatives, and passionate individuals dedicated to exploring the unique challenges and opportunities facing rural youth. 🌍 Rural youth face distinct issues that range from limited transport and cultural activities to accessible infrastructure. With these challenges in mind, the EYCA Youth Panel launched the Rural Youth Project to directly engage with young voices in remote areas—gathering their insights, ideas, and lived experiences. Our speakers, Anna Strolenberg, MEP and member of the Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, and Babis Papaioannou, Policy Officer for Youth at the European Commission, shared their key perspectives on what can be done at the European level to address these pressing issues. 🔹 Tailoring solutions for the diverse demographics of rural youth, 🔹 Strengthening the tools and policies at the EU level, 🔹 Building stronger links between local communities and European institutions. This conversation is just the beginning. We’d love to hear your thoughts, too! How can we better address the needs of rural youth? What policies and practices have you seen that make a difference? #ruralyouth #youthEempowerment #europeanyouth #youthpolicies #EYCA

Societies progress when people have access to facts, ideas, and insights that help them make better decisions and solve problems. This is because having the right information enables individuals and communities to understand issues deeply, make informed choices, and avoid misinformation, which could lead to negative outcomes. It is not enough to just access information; people must also be able to comprehend and apply it effectively. This skill is essential for translating knowledge into action, which leads to positive changes, whether in personal lives, communities, or society as a whole. In our recent article during #WorldDevelopmentInformationDay, we look at why encouraging proactive measures and enhancing the dissemination of information is a proactive way to cultivate a more informed global community that actively promotes sustainable development and improves our quality of life: https://lnkd.in/eihKU8Bx. #B2BPublishers #GrassrootsAdvocacy #CommunityAdvocacy #SDG4QualityEducation #SDGPublishersCompact

🌐Getting to know the FutureWORKS Collective – The FutureWORKS Collective brings together nuanced research from five regions: #Asia, #MiddleEastandNorthAfrica, #EastandSouthernAfrica, #WestandCentralAfrica and #LatinAmericaandCaribbean. Research hubs in each region are working to produce regionally specific evidence on the future of work and promote context-relevant policy recommendations. 🏷East and Southern Africa The research hub in East & Southern Africa is coordinated by Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) Wits University, Johannesburg (SCIS-WITS). SCIS-WITS is an #interdisciplinary #research centre focused on understanding and addressing inequality in the global South. They work to identify key areas of #inequality in society and economy, understand the production, reproduction and intersection of #power relations, imagine an alternative configuration of power relations that generates affirmative state action and provides greater equality of access to resources, and develop a research and policy agenda for the inclusive growth of productive forces. Their key work streams include wealth inequality, public economies, the future of work, a sustainable and inclusive economy, intersectionality and inequality, climate, sustainability and inequality, and pre-distribution. https://lnkd.in/dFTVPSmc As a part of the FutureWORKS Collective, SCIS-WITS is coordinating the study of how #technological and #climate disruptions are affecting the #futureofwork in East and Southern Africa. Their objective is to generate original, rigorous, comparative research on the #relationship between #labour trajectories and #skills formation systems, that can contribute to more effective skills policies and programmes in the region. The FutureWORKS Collective, supported by International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, is a five-year interdisciplinary Southern-led research initiative devoted to the future of work in the Global South.
