The RSA Manifesto
The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce was founded in 1754 to encourage the development of a principled and prosperous society.
Today the RSA is an independent, non-aligned, multi-disciplinary registered charity with over 22,000 Fellows.
The RSA runs a programme of projects and lectures based around five manifesto challenges:
- encouraging enterprise
- moving towards a zero waste society
- fostering resilient communities
- developing a capable population
- advancing global citizenship
Fostering Resilient Communities
The RSA Commission meets the challenge of 'fostering resilient communities'. It seeks both to combat a problem that can tear communities apart, and to find ways in which this problem can be tackled at the community level, strengthening community spirit and resource in the process.
