Join us in the new Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre (ARC) for The People’s Global Summit: Co-Building a New EcoSocial World leaving no one behind on 29 June! Enjoy a live-stream of Summit sessions and take part in live discussions and workshops at our Summit satellite hub.  

The People’s Global Summit brings together individuals and communities, people of lived experiences, along with global organisations to co-build a Global Values Declaration for a new eco-social world that will be delivered to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum in July 2022 and will create a catalyst for further global action. 

THE PEOPLE'S GLOBAL SUMMIT KEYNOTE LIVE PANEL AND MINI-WORKSHOPS 
Hosted by the UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts (UNESCO RILA) at the University of Glasgow.  

Date and Location 

Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre (ARC) 

29 June 08.00 - 16.00 (BST) 

  • Keynote Address Screening 08.30 - 09.00 
  • Keynote Live Panel Discussion 09.00 - 10.00  
  • Livestream of Summit Sessions and Mini-Workshops 10.00 - 16.00 

In our Keynote Address and live panel discussion, four scholar-artists will focus on four dimensions of what is ‘left behind’ and ‘who is left behind’. Together they call for a restorative frame that allows for the integration of forms of knowledge and understanding from those experiencing the loss and damage in eco-cultural life. It is here that the challenge of cultural justice can be more widely considered, and the beginnings of a theory of restorative integration might be developed. 

We hope that you can join us during this historic Summit!
