The aim of the Cities Leadership Forum is to build a network of trust amongst leaders across divides in the cities. It is an immersive, readings-based, dialogue programme. Participants are selected for diversity in respect of demographic, gender, political and economic viewpoints, but the single common criterion for selection is that each candidate should have the means to act in ways which create serious positive impact in their city. The programme deepens the leaders’ understanding of what constitutes a good society by reading and participating in the conversations of the last 2 500 years. Each participant in the programme is required to commit to a project which will contribute value to their community.
