The debate will be chaired by David Walker,
editor of the Guardian's Public magazine.
Professor Martin Albrow
will make the case for a civil society university with panel members including:
Stephen Bubb, Chief Executive, The Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organizations (acevo)
Janet Fleming, Head of UK Workforce Hub
Dr Frances Pinter, Visiting Fellow, London School of Economics, Founder of Pinter Publishers and the Soros Foundation's Central European University Press
Establishment of a university, the strongest brand in education, could recognise the role of civil society in underpinning the diverse values and aspirations of freely associated people worldwide, including the third sector. It could also act as the focus for the skills, training, research and lifelong learning essential to a strong and effective third sector. Are the barriers — whether financial, institutional or cultural — insurmountable?
