Themes will likely include social justice, climate crisis, and migration - but this isn't a prescriptive list. Got a brilliant idea that sparks conversation and challenges the status quo? We want to hear it!

A lovely afternoon with @QuintinOliver @acallan87 & @markdevenport discussing how to lose a referendum as part of @ImagineBelfast

A rich debate on how international examples might guide future votes in Ireland; citizen engagement, clear information & relevancy all critical.
