Presentation of Collaborative Conversation Document

Our research is iterative. We have produced this document for Collaborative Conversation. This collaborative conversation has been prepared for the event 'Concepts of a Good Society: The Response of Civil Society to Food Poverty,' followed by a Meeting of Fairness Commissions on 28 June 2016, Committee Room 16, House of Commons, London. The document is not a final report but a mid –research collaborative conversation, designed to summarise our research so far and to initiative further conversation around concepts of a Good Society and how we might achieve a good society. The document has summarised our research to date; our literature review, semi-structured interviews with Fairness Commissions and Focus Groups across Britain. Our work identifies the agency or agencies that will deliver a good society as part of a collaborative process. In actively engaging participants from civil society groups in the creation of the recommendations for our final report, the civil society groups that we work with will identify the agencies that can deliver a good society. As part of this dissemination stage of our work, we will be running dissemination events around the UK. These dissemination events will be themed around key issues such as food poverty, migration and rural poverty. The dissemination events will be held in arts centres and public spaces where we will invite community responses to the recommendations as well as facilitated workshops and other 'listening ' events. The aim of these events will be to create a truly collaborative piece of research with recommendations created by research participants. Our work is collaborative and is based on interwoven networks and partnerships with Civil Society organisations. As part of the dissemination process we will ask the Civil Society groups that we work with to suggest mechanisms to deliver a good society.
