Dialogue & Debate: Is education the answer to social mobility?

Cumberland Lodge

4 November 2020 - 11:00am - 12:00pm

 

Education is often seen as the key to boosting social mobility and improving equality of opportunity; but there is also a theory that creating better job opportunities would have a greater impact than encouraging more and more people into higher education. Everyone is welcome to join us as we discuss this topic with guest panellists:

 

- John Craven - Chief Executive, Upreach

- Dr Lee Elliot Major - Professor of Social Mobility, University of Exeter

- Jouja Maamri - Sustainability & Impact Manager, Regenerative Creations

 

You can join this webinar for free on Zoom, as a non-video participant, and interact with the panel via our live Q&A.

In case you are unfamiliar with us, Cumberland Lodge is educational charity founded in 1947, in the aftermath of World War II, that empowers people, through dialogue and debate, to tackle the causes and effects of social division. We convene multi-sector, interdisciplinary conferences, seminars and panel debates to engage people of all ages, backgrounds and perspectives in candid conversations on societal and ethical issues that affect us all. We actively involve young people in all aspects of our work, to nurture their potential as future leaders and change-makers.
