The first of two seminars on culture, integration and education hosted by Demos in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

You can download Samuel Jones' presentation here.

Culture is a space in which values are expressed and interpreted. It can provide a safe space and mechanism to confront difference, but it can also be a space in which values are contested.  Online and in the streets, we encounter a more diverse range of cultures than ever before. This is the 'cultural age' - how can we approach and accommodate it?

This first seminar explores the relationship between the cultural age and education. It will ask how cultural practitioners, institutions, policy-makers and the education sector work together to provide young people with the skills they need to interpret the new and different cultures that they increasingly encounter.

This event is by invitation only. If you would like to attend the event, please contact seminars@demos.co.uk.
