'Experts call for national strategy to prevent riots' - @EasternEye reports on last week's Social cohesion summit from @britishfuture @BelongNetwork @togethercoalit easterneye.biz/experts-call-f…

Great final session with @TedCantle Dame Sara Khan @JYDenham @sundersays at today’s Social Cohesion Summit. Plus a packed room of practitioners and everyday experts. Challenges to cohesion are clear, but so are solutions, and many stand ready to implement them.

After the riots This paper by @togethercoalit @britishfuture @BelongNetwork offers a useful analysis of the recent riots, uncovering longer-term trends that underpinned the violent outbreaks. Now, more than ever, we need to be building bridges, not walls belongnetwork.co.uk/resources/afte…
