For those who were there, thank you for your part in a truly inspiring event. If you couldn’t make it, the good news is there is plenty happening that you can be involved in – see below to find out more.We travelled the globe exploring the vast arena of sourcing, ethics, responsible practice and sustainability in the jewellery trade, hearing from pioneers and others newer to the scene, including larger brands, about what they are doing, their challenges and achievements. We also connected with like-minded organisations in the UK and beyond and from international policy to grass-roots level – from NGO to individual jeweller – we heard about what is happening to effect change and what we can do, along with information about on-the-ground support and training.Alongside this, inspirational case studies and motivational presentations from people who are really doing it and making things happen challenged us to put a different perspective on what we can each do to effect change if we care about the communities that source our materials and the impact our work has upon those around us.Our very big thanks to our hosts, Assay Office Birmingham, and speakers, all passionate changemakers, who gave freely of their time and expertise, helping us question, challenge and facilitate progress, achievement and change.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
