Anthropy is a unique gathering of leaders from all sectors, concerned as to how we move forward as a nation. We are utilising this moment in time to think differently about our collective future and find new ways to inspire change. Anthropy affords a chance to re-assess what we value and what values will help create new thinking to tackle long standing challenges. In convening Anthropy, we asked ourselves four key questions which will help formulate a new ‘Vision For Britain’:
- People: What is the quality of life we want in Britain for the next thirty years?
- Place: What qualities of place and planet do we need to achieve that quality of life?
- Prosperity: What qualities do we wish to see in a good economy and in the best of businesses and public sector organisations?
- Global Perspective: What qualities do we want to express to the world, to help solve shared issues such as poverty, climate change and human rights?
- Anthropy was founded in 2021 as a result of concerns for the economic and social impacts of the pandemic and the negative public discourse arising from the Brexit referendum and other challenging national issues. Its founder John O’Brien, challenged himself and his network to consider creating a shared moment to put aside divisions and focus on creating a new, longer term positive vision of Britain and its place in the world. Together the leaders of many hundreds of organisations have created the UK’s largest ever crowd sourced agenda and hope that with your participation, we can all collaborate to create a vision for long term change for the good of all.
