Pendle 2050

In 2019 we hosted a series of interactive talkshows for students and local entrepreneurs to imagine a not so distant future Pendle. Pendle 2050 was a talking event that gathered community leaders entrepreneurs from local businesses and students from Pendle schools and colleges to collectively imagine Pendle in a not-so-distant future and consider the challenges for employment and economic growth.

Based around a talk show format and led by artist Mikey Weinkove of The People Speak, groups are given themes to discuss around topics such as the future of work. They then presented problems and solutions to a panel, followed by a vote from the floor.
