In seeking to fix Britain’s challenges, should we look close to home or further afield? Join award-winning journalist and author John Kampfner for an inspiring journey across ten countries finding bold, practical solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our age. From Morocco’s vast solar projects and Finland’s innovative education system to Taiwan’s healthcare model and Japan’s pioneering approach to social care, he explores how communities are tackling social and environmental problems with creativity, courage and optimism. At a moment when many democracies appear stuck and divided, Braver New World offers a refreshing alternative: real-world examples of change that is already working. In conversation with Robin Niblett , John will consider what Britain and other nations can learn from these stories and whether we are ready to embrace them. There will be a book signing after this event.
