1.Launched in October as a social movement ‘Global South Fellows (GSF) of the RSA (The Royal Society for the Arts) will Re-right history’. Nelson Mandea was a Fellow.  The RSA has “over 260 year’s history of encouraging the arts, manufacturers, and commerce to work together to turn world-leading ideas into world-changing actions. 30,000 Fellows live or work in 80 countries so we could potentially create a global network of creativity and action.  We look forward to recognition and support from the RSA senior management, and meetings supported by Central. 

2. Rani Moorcroft MBE FRSA  brought together British Black African, Caribbean, Asian Fellows and supporters in this first collaborative of Global South Fellows and supporters. We will celebrate our contribution to the UK, and also the world. We will ensure history reflects the many who came before us and look forward to the future of many that will come after.  We shall add even more to the success of diversity, inclusion in many walks of life in Great Britain sadly sometimes overlooked.  We agree with the mission statement of our Society: “Our proven change process, rigorous research, innovative ideas platforms and unique global network of changemakers, work collectively to enable people, places and the planet to flourish in harmony.”

3.So we will also address the continuing areas of underachievement or over representation in our society in the number of black children expelled or excluded in schools. Also the significantly higher numbers entering the justice system introducing educational programmes and inspirational leadership among this vulnerable group. We have Professors in leading universities, schools, heads of government departments who will create momentum building on existing foundations.  

4.In health, especially cancer where more black people are prone to some of the deadliest cancers, we will help overcome disparity, devise specific outreach groups and ease of access to clinical trials for early detection and cures. In the arts, entertainment and sports we will engage with role models. And in construction we will join builders such as the Church of England, sympathetic under-achieving councils to build l those safe, sustainable, stable, sociable and satisfying communities every child or adult should live in to flourish and be happy.

5.Finally we will put the natural world at the centre of our actions. We will work closely with the National Trust and appoint young passionate ambassadors to help deliver active projects in schools, FE colleges, PRUs universities. For it is the wanton actions, sadly,  of mostly the industrial nations that have created the climate change damage that Global South people, especially island or coastal dwellers who have to suffer disproportionately from the floods, drought, fires, loss of biodiversity that are leading to famine and civic unrest and wars. We will support the ICE, Institute of Civil  Engineers and their President Professor Anusha Shah. She is the very first woman of colour, one of only three women before her, and the first Muslim to hold this prestigious title.  Nature-based solutions to climate change etc. resonate with all we are trying to do.  Some of her Future Leaders have joined us, as have members of the National  Trust .
