The Observer Book Club: Braver New World

Thursday, 21st May 2026

6:00-7:00pm

RSA House and online via YouTube

At a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner has travelled to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination.

From Japan’s inter-generational care system to Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara creating clean energy, John Kampfer’s new book Braver New World explores how countries across the globe are solving the most pressing problems.

To discuss the finding in his book, John will join us at the Royal Society of Arts for a conversation with The Observer Editor-in-Chief James Harding and former UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband.

Join us for an evening of ideas and discussion on how we can learn from others to build a better society.

Speakers:

  • John Kampfner, Journalist
  • David Miliband, Former UK Foreign Secretary
  • James Harding, The Observer Editor-in-Chief
