Hear about the world’s first global citizens' assembly held in 2021, which presented its findings at COP26 in Glasgow

100 people chosen by a lottery style system, like jury service, representing a snapshot of the human family.

70% living on $10 a day, 13% white, 50% women, 10% with no formal education… What happened when the human family met itself in this unique way for the first time?

The Fête of Britain is a four-day celebration of collaboration and imagination in the face of the great challenges of our time. From the climate crisis to the cost of living, nothing is off the table. The Fête of Britain takes over Aviva Studios from 22 to 25 February. Find out more: The Fête of Britain
