This was a joint event held with Nottingham Trent University and was held this year in memory of the late Dr Anne Bloomfield.
Sir Mike Tomlinson will speak on "Vocational education should be a rounded education".
"Any consideration of vocational education too often centres on the view that it is about job-specific preparation and as such is a narrow and utilitarian education. This is not my view, particularly with the introduction of the specialised Diplomas for 14 year olds. So, can we have vocational education which is 'rounded' and meets the demands of the student and end-users? The lecture will seek to answer this key question."

Here the Chief Executive, Matthew Taylor, talks of the importance of the 'good life well lived' and how Fellows can contribute to this experience. He invites people to get practically involved, working together around a table. What Will Success Look Like?, therefore draws a picture, tracing a continuum between Staff and Fellows activity, creating a 'Bigger Us' an 'Us' which speaks of collaboration and brokerage of people, ideas and energy.

Balancing Leadership in Networks and Hierarchies shows the role leadership plays within different forms of organisational structures. The need for a point of accountability is highlighted, as is the 'psychological leadership' to inspire change. Despite the different form and structure networks take, a management/leadership role is still central to the 'sense' of the organisation.

n this introductory clip, the scene is set for the new vision of the RSA. RSA Chief Executive, Matthew Taylor, speaks of the 'social aspiration gap': the gap between how we think and behave now, and how we need to behave in order to create the society we say we wish to live in. He sets this up as a challenge for the Fellowship of the RSA, inviting them to help shape the activity of the organisation. In his new agenda, the RSA becomes an 'RAC for civic innovation', with a mobilised Fellowship which can begin to address and act upon the demands and ambitions of our current world.
