CDN Events & Papers

Our main advocacy work has been through running and supporting forums and conferences at which individuals can meet and debate face to face. Details of our plans for the future as well as past events can be found on these pages.

We began hosting forums to stimulate discussion among and between various sectors about the implications of applying a cultural perspective to local development. Always extending our research work (still best exemplified by The Fourth Pillar - pdf flyer and order form), our forums have meant that people from disparate disciplines have forged new relationships, considered new ideas and been inspired by the possibilities of ‘fourth pillar’ thinking.
