Durham Cathedral Institute

New for 2022, Durham Cathedral Institute will facilitate public discussions of current affairs and issues affecting the North East of England.

Promoting debate and discussion

The Institute seeks to create opportunities for people in the North East to engage with experts and public figures on the major social, political and ethical issues of our time.

 

 

Launching our programme of events

The Institute's first event was a lecture from former BBC Moscow Correspondent Bridget Kendall on the context of the war in Ukraine on 11 April.

Further Institute events are planned for 2022 on the themes of ‘levelling up’ the North and the future of education.
