In a world increasingly marked by polarisation and fractured discourse, how can we truly hear each other? Join us in the Great Room of the RSA for a vital conversation between Emily Kasriel, journalist, broadcaster, and author of the new book Deep Listening, and Professor Paul Dolan, behavioural scientist and author of the new book Beliefism. Together, they’ll explore the transformative power of deep listening and belief systems in shaping how we communicate, understand, and disagree. Emily’s pioneering work on ‘deep listening’ reveals how active, empathetic engagement can break down barriers and build trust. Paul’s latest research into belief structures challenges us to understand how and why we cling to our views – and what it takes to listen to different perspectives. This event brings two powerful thinkers into dialogue, sharing fresh perspectives and practical strategies to foster respectful, productive conversations in divided times. As we navigate increasingly complex social and political terrain, this is a timely and urgent opportunity to reflect on what it means to connect meaningfully across difference.

What if we designed systems not for top-down control – but for human connection? At RSA House, trust expert and artist Rachel Botsman explores how design thinking and visual storytelling can rethink leadership, power, and trust systems. We often learn something new from studying something old. Anchored in her 2025 London Design Biennale installation Roots of Trust, the conversation returns to a long-forgotten artefact: the world’s first organisational chart, drawn in 1855. From this intricate, organic diagram, we trace the enduring imprint of pyramid structures and hierarchy – and ask what new forms trust might take. Expect light and shadow. Beauty and utility. Roots and branches. For anyone curious about how we might design our way toward a more connected, trusted society, this is a conversation not to miss. SPEAKER: * Rachel Botsman, trust expert and artist CHAIR: * Abi Freeman, Organisational Psychologist and Co-Founder of Brink [https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hellobrink.co%2F&data=05%7C02%7Csofia.renzi%40rsa.org.uk%7Ceba2dfcb568841559e7108dda43d8e2b%7C28b2f588bfd04ebcb03ab85d3cfc3664%7C0%7C0%7C638847306564072104%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=1Y0ONGA6nzQXRFkyPLp0ltHYZvGYrvsRlNPZRDfbTUk%3D&reserved=0] Donate to the RSA: https://thersa.co/3ZyPOEa Become an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueemb Follow RSA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/ Like RSA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/ Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYU Join our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join

In a world on fire, where every system we rely on is buckling under the weight of its own contradictions, it’s time to admit that control is a dangerous illusion. But while politicians and corporations cling to algorithms for predictability, artists, writers, and musicians have always known the truth: chaos isn’t a threat – it’s a gift. At this RSA event, Margaret Heffernan explores how our obsession with stability and ‘solutions’ – now amplified by artificial intelligence – is not only futile but potentially destructive. She invites us to rethink the role of AI in creativity, questioning whether art and innovation can survive when algorithms are programmed to reduce risk and spontaneity. In conversation with prominent figures in arts and culture, Margaret will challenge deeply ingrained beliefs about how we live, work, and create in a world increasingly shaped by AI. Through the lens of those who thrive in uncertainty, she will explore whether creativity can coexist with systems designed for control – and how we can harness both chaos and technology to provoke meaningful action in turbulent times. Speakers: * Margaret Heffernan, author, broadcaster, speaker * Josette Bushell-Mingo OBE, Principal, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama * Andrew Grant, RDI, landscape architect Chair: * Andy Haldane, RSA Chief Executive Donate to the RSA: https://thersa.co/3ZyPOEa Become an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueemb Follow RSA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/ Like RSA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/ Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYU Join our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join
