Educate. Debate. Renewal. We involve major thinkers, academics, and experts to challenge, inspire and contribute to the renewal of social life.

Educate · Debate · Renewal

The Ideas Matter charity seeks to renew social life through debate, discussion and education about the big ideas that have inspired humanity throughout history. Ideas Matter believes that the basis of good citizenship and education – our charitable purposes – is engagement with the ideas that have been articulated, challenged and discussed in major events throughout history. We bring ideas to life through a range of public debates, events, discussions and summer schools for a variety of ages: in person, in print, and online.

The Western world seems terrified of change. The idea that tomorrow will be better than today has rarely felt more under threat.

Against the threat of managed decline, we have to allow ourselves to dream.
