Roundtables
The SEARCH Foundation has launched an ambitious program of roundtable discussions as part of its Project for Left Renewal.
The goal of these roundtables is to promote Left Renewal through a critical evaluation and re-imagination of left/progressive theory and practice as the basis for developing a new vision for a sustainable, fair and democratic society.
SEARCH plans to hold a series of roundtables in all mainland capital cities over the next 18 months with the program culminating in a two-day national conference in 2009.
Themes for the roundtables include: the ‘good society’; climate change; the global economy; state versus market; work/life balance; and identity.
The program aims to bring together people from across the spectrum of left and progressive politics in a format that will comprise brief presentations by key thinkers from different perspectives followed by extended periods of facilitated discussion.
