Tweets and chat from panel discussion at #3srps Third Sector policy and research seminar, 12 December 2011 Thanks to @ESRC @NCVO and @3sectorrc
At #3srps #bigsociety seminar at NCVO. Lots of empirically grounded, well-considered stuff coming out, both -ve & +ve in current context.
@karlwilding #3srps. Less scope for infrastructure bodies advocacy role in the future? That's depressing is its the case.
KW: Community Organisers are new part of the political debate, thanks to BigSociety ow.ly/7Wvj0 < what would Alinsky think? #3srps- And @karlwilding making interesting comments about whether transferred leisure services have transparency and accountability issues #3srps
- Next up is Anna Coote, head of social policy @theneweconomics, focusing on increasing inequalities of community capacity & resources #3srps
RT @commutiny: Coote: We should not shift away from taxation as we cannot rely on philanthropy to be fair, evenly distributed or be on the increase #3srps
RT @commutiny: Coote: We need transition to a new social settlement which releases & deploys everyday human resources, not current BigSociety model #3srps- Next up is @RSAMAtthew explaining why progressives need to present a new vision of the Big Society #3srps
- "Pro-Social Behaviour: the Future - it’s up to us" ow.ly/7WxHt < interesting, relevant essay by @RSAMatthew #3srps
RT @commutiny: Says @RSAMatthew "We need to make public services feel like they are outgrowths of the community rather than tentacles of the state" #3srps
RT @commutiny: 2007 talk "Bridging the Social Aspiration Gap" ow.ly/7Wy9p < requires govt regs, biz commitment, citizen & consumer action #3srps
