Many of the established realities our society has been built upon are being destabilised. We live in a moment in which the prevailing way of life faces significant challenges: the growing reality of climate change and ecological degradation; the emergence of new digital technologies and their potential positive and negative effects; increasing living-costs and housing shortages; and threats to the quality of education.

What is the nature of these challenges we face? Their origins? Their potential impact on society? How might the richness of faith, cultural, and philosophical traditions deepen our depth of analysis and understanding of these challenges and potentially guide how we respond?

Join us for this series of public discussions with a panel of experts offering their insights on these issues.

This week's discussion, “We don’t need no education?”, will focus on the themes of education, citizenship and the common good.
