Developing stakeholder communities in relation to creating a slavery free Sussex.
As the Ageing Well strand comes to a close, we continue to work alongside the University of Sussex and the Economic and Social Research Council to develop a community of practice, this time around the topic of modern slavery.
A series of online events and podcasts will bring together professionals, academic researchers, volunteers and other interested parties to discuss and dissect the latest research and interrogate where current accepted best practice fits within that. The aim is to develop an active peer network to share learning and translate academic knowledge into action.EVENTS

ONLINE COMMUNITY
The Anti-Modern Slavery project brings together a host of activities, research and content and as part of this we have set up a community content hub via a peer networking platform called The Possibility Club.
Sign up to the Anti-Modern Slavery: Changing the Conversation ‘circle’ to join a community of people and organisations interested in discussing, debating and raising awareness of modern slavery and ways to combat it. It’s a place to share ideas, build collaboration and move towards changing the conversation around modern slavery.
Bringing together cutting-edge research, business innovation, grassroots practice in the community and individual lived experience – we’re pooling our knowledge to see what the future might look like.
If you are open to sharing ideas and building collaborations in moving towards a slavery free Sussex – then we’d love you to join a new community of thought.
Visit Anti-Modern Slavery to view the circle and get involved.

This project is funded by the University of Sussex and the Economic and Social Research Council to help translate academic knowledge into action. The activity is facilitated by always possible, a unique consultancy looking at 21st century problem-solving through connected conversation.
