SUMMARY:The Art of Communication
DESCRIPTION:How can we persuade people who are not yet pro-EU to change their minds? There is now strong evidence that we don’t do it by arguing with them or bombarding them with statistics: these methods don’t work. A different approach\, “Deep Canvassing”\, aims to change political opinions by means of a non-confrontational conversation\, using empathic listening and real life stories in preference to argument and presentation of facts and figures. Developed in the United States\, Deep Canvassing is backed by a strong evidence base\, and has been used to good effect in many campaigns\, including the 2020 presidential election. \nThe webinar will be followed by an online introductory training event\, intended to embed Deep Canvassing into the pro-EU campaign on 27 October – details to follow. \nSpeakers:\n• Ella Barrett (The Leadership Lab\, Los Angeles): Deep Canvassing: An Introduction\n◦ Ella is one of the developers of Deep Canvassing and has ten years experience of training volunteers to use it\n• Josh Kalla (Yale University): Deep Canvassing: The Evidence\n◦ Josh was recruited at the outset to evaluate Deep Canvassing and has conducted numerous studies\n• Richard Kilpatrick (European Movement): Deep Canvassing: The UK Experience\n◦ Richard is one of very few UK campaigners with experience of using Deep Canvassing and training volunteers

SUMMARY:Democracy Loves Local Power
DESCRIPTION:The UK is the most centralised country in Western Europe\, and First Past the Post is not helping. FPTP’s ‘winner takes all’ culture draws power further into Westminster\, and incentivises those wielding that power to keep it with themselves. ‘Levelling up democracy’ is therefore increasingly becoming a part of discussions of how we address regional inequalities. \nIn this event\, we will highlight how PR can help rebalance power across the UK\, and how countries with Proportional Representation have often been more effective at levelling up. \nJoin our cross-party panel of speakers: \nJane Dodds\, Liberal Democrat MS \nDavid Ford\, former Alliance Party Leader and MLA \nZack Polanski\, Green Party London AM \nTommy Sheppard\, Scottish National Party MP \nPaul Sweeney\, Labour Party MSP \nJackie Weaver (chair) \nPresentations\, followed by a Q&A\, will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube afterwards.

SUMMARY:Brexit: State of Play - Professor Catherine Barnard
DESCRIPTION:Online discussion on the current state of play with Brexit with Professor Catherine Barnard. \nCatherine is Professor of EU law and Employment Law at the University of Cambridge\, and deputy director of UK in a Changing Europe. She is one of the UK’s most respected experts on EU law and the relationship between the UK and the EU\, and in the run up to and after the 2016 referendum became one of the most in-demand commentators on Brexit. \nWith the Johnson government once again reneging on commitments it made under the Brexit agreement with the EU\, and preparing to break international law\, we are certain that she will have a very interesting perspective.
