Why poverty - where next?

Event - Public event - 17 May 2013 10:00 - 11:30 (GMT+01 (BST))

The BBC's Why Poverty project was a unique attempt by a UK broadcaster to engage mainstream audiences with the issue of global poverty. In this public event, we'll examine how successful the project was and ask what lessons can be learnt for any future attempts to engage the public, both in the UK and around the world, with poverty and development. We also reflect on what we've learnt from broader analysis into public opinion and public engagement.
