As communities across Aotearoa navigate increasing social, political, and economic challenges, the need for strong, connected societies has never been greater. What does social cohesion look like today, and how can we foster a more inclusive and resilient future?
Join us for the launch of the Helen Clark Foundation’s latest research project, which examines social cohesion in New Zealand in 2025. The event, held at the Formery in Auckland CBD, will feature a talk by economist Shamubeel Eaqub, who has developed and led this work, with remarks from Rt Hon Helen Clark.
Together, Helen and Shamubeel will share key insights from our latest research on social cohesion in New Zealand. Helen will speak to the importance of social cohesion from a New Zealand and global perspective, while Shamubeel will present the results of a large, first-of-its-kind survey on the elements underlying social cohesion in New Zealand, and how we compare with Australia. He will also reflect on what these results mean for our communities, workplaces, and policymakers.
This event is a timely opportunity to engage in an important conversation, hear from leading thinkers, and connect with others committed to building a stronger Aotearoa. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A, and in-person attendees will have the chance to continue the discussion over morning tea.
Our thanks to Connected Leadership and Alberts for helping to make this event possible.
