For those of you who are not avid readers of my Citizen Renaissance blog (!!!), I wanted to share an abridged transcript of a recent keynote I presented to the We Are Names Not Numbers symposium in Portmeirion. Rishi Bhattacharya joined me for the 48 hours in North Wales last month – where we mingled with the great and the good of the UK Commentariat, together a heady mix of Business Leaders and Academics. Public Engagement & The New Civic Responsibility attempts to frame Richard’s Public Engagement thinking within an historical perspective, as well as offer some extended thinking on how PE plays within the environmental agenda. It is also a rallying cry for those of us in the Communications industries – together with our colleagues in the media – to stand up and be counted as Catalyst Citizens. Arabella Bakker, together with Rishi, has kindly offered to consider how we, as a UK business, can bring our Catalyst roles to life. More to follow on this subject.
