ILP Weekend School
The challenge of mutuality
Saturday 4 & Sunday 5 May 2002 The Esplanade Hotel, Scarborough
* What role can mutuality play in a rapidly changing society and
globalizing economy?
* What will be the future of conventional public services?
* What should Labour be doing?
* And what lessons can be learnt from past generations of
Co-operation, Mutuality and Social Enterprise?
We are hosting two days of politics in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere,
mixing plenary sessions and small discussion groups, which will appeal to
experts and non-experts alike.
Keynote speakers:
* Sean Creighton, historian and policy officer
"A historical perspective on mutuality and radical politics"
* Stephen Yeo, visiting professor, LSE Centre for Civil Society
"Putting co-operation into politics, not Politics into Co-operation"
* Sally Ruane, University of Leicester, and Dave Byrne, University of
Durham
"Mutuality and the privatization of the State: opportunity or threat?"
Admission free; Bed & Breakfast £20 per person per night
