As a society, we have become disconnected - with most of us spending less and less time with people who are different (as defined by age, race, or class, earning power or education).
But the more time we spend with people unlike ourselves, the more understanding, tolerant and friendly we become. Join Jon, Executive Director of the Youth Endowment Fund and Nesta CEO Ravi Gurumurthy on Thursday 17 June at midday as they explore how the pandemic has created an unprecedented opportunity for us to come together.
