The Carnegie UK Trust and the IPPR North are hosting a special event in Newcastle to discuss the findings of the Trust's recent report - Power Moves.
13 November 2008, 13.30 to 16.00
Bisoscience Centre, Centre for Life, Newcastle
Power Moves tells the story of four recent policy decisions to examine the question of who has power in public decision making. The report suggests that the "powerless" can have more power than they tend to assume.
The event is targeted at activitists, campaigners, community organisers and civil society associations.
