Making Common Ground Focus Group - challenges of navigating the media, our friends, and government messages

Who  do you trust? Where do you get your information from? The pandemic has brought these questions to the fore. With so much conflicting information out there and fewer opportunities to sense check it with our friends, are we getting even more entrenched in the culture wars - or has lockdown reinvigorated our neighborly spirit ? This week, we return to our second focus group for the final time and talk about the challenges of navigating the media, our friends, and government messages in the new world order

Whether it's Brexit, Covid, Black Lives Matter or trans rights, polarisation has been destabilising our democracy for the last few years. But are the culture wars largely phoney - and can we find a solution to the serious issues society is facing?

In partnership with Humanity in Action.
