For over 250 years, the RSA (Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) has been committed to finding practical solutions to today's social challenges. We believe that ideas can change the world. Our way of working consists of providing a platform for critical debate and new ideas, working with partners to translate knowledge and progressive thinking into practical change, and inspiring our network of 27,000 Fellows to be a force for civic innovation and social change.
