Description
Ten years after the Brexit referendum, Britain continues to wrestle with questions of identity, belonging and national direction. As debates around nationalism, migration, faith, protest and pluralism become increasingly charged, what story does the country now tell about itself and who feels fully included within it?
Bringing together political, historical and civic voices from across British public life, this major conversation explores the changing meaning of British identity in an era shaped by populism, economic anxiety and growing social fragmentation.
From patriotism and memory to democracy and national cohesion, the discussion asks what kind of country Britain wishes to become.
