- THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT -
 
On Tuesday 18 September, we’ll be talking myths and stories with <A HREF="http://mythgap.org/author/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alex Evans</A>, author of <A HREF="http://mythgap.org/about-the-book/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Myth Gap</A>.
What do stories do that ‘evidence’ and ‘data’ can’t? How have myths shaped our world today? What new stories and forms of association are shaping the politics of tomorrow?
In this time of global crisis and transition – of mass migration, inequality, resource scarcity and climate change – Alex Evans argues that it is only by finding new myths, those that speak to us of renewal and restoration, that we will navigate our way to a better future. At this event he will outline why stories, rather than facts and pie-charts, that have the power to animate us and bring us together to change the world.
Register to attend before 2 September.

About The Young Foundation
Connected, thriving communities are the foundation of our society. They keeps us safer, happier and healthier – more resilient and able to face shared challenges.
Today, <A HREF="https://youngfoundation.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Young Foundation’s</A> mission is to enable the development of connected, more sustainable and stronger communities across the UK.We do this through amplifying the stories and lived experiences of people in our communities; using this as a spur to drive locally-led community action and enterprise.
We use what we learn across different communities to spot national patterns of need and opportunity. Bringing together our own – and other people’s – work, we are building a shared body of evidence, tools and insight about how communities are taking action on the issues that affect them.
