The College of Modern Life Skills 2011 will take place at Whittlebury Park on Tuesday 17th May 2011
The College Theme - The Big Society
A powerful and attractive theme for the college is required to generate the appropriate interest from both the private and public sector. The Big Society is a society in which individual citizens feel big: big in terms of being supported and enabled; having real and regular influence; being capable of creating change in their neighbourhood. Does our society pass this test at the moment?
Well, only 4 out of 10 of us believe that we can influence local decisions. Only 1 in 33 of us attend public meetings. We feel anger and frustration at the recent behaviour of both the City and Westminster and relatively powerless to change them. We are often anonymous tax-payers without a real sense of how our money gets spent. Most of us try to be reasonably good citizens but our influence seems very small.
The Big Society is a powerful vision to change this, creating a nation of empowered citizens and communities. It has been articulated by Prime Minister David Cameron, but is linked to some of the best ideas across the political spectrum.
People have interpreted the ideas and vision in different ways, but we see the core of the big society as three principles:
Empowering individuals and communities: Decentralising and redistributing power not just from Whitehall to local government, but also directly to communities, neighbourhoods and individuals
Encouraging social responsibility: Encouraging organisations and individuals to get involved in social action, whether small neighbourly activities like hosting a Big Lunch to large collective actions like saving the local post office
Creating an enabling and accountable state: Transforming government action from top-down micromanagement and one-size-fits-all solutions to a flexible approach defined by transparency, payment by results, and support for social enterprise and cooperatives
The College Objective
This is the first of many colleges to be run, where delegates will have the opportunity to interact and learn from some of the leading tutors in the field of Life Skills and Personal Development. After many years visiting and exhibiting at shows in several countries around the world, the organisers felt it was time
to get back to basics and deliver an event where those attending would get practical and realistic training solutions.
We do not intend to fill the venue with hundreds of exhibitor stands selling products or cram the speakers platform with presentation after presentation.
We have carefully planned the college so that delegates will enjoy a fully comprehensive learning experience where they can participate in interactive workshops, share training experiences and leave with a portfolio of new and exciting skills.
In order to provide a high quality learning experience, delegate numbers are restricted.
