The world is changing fast.


The challenges of emerging technologies, geopolitical conflicts and demographic shifts need leaders equipped to address them.
Yet so few of our most capable citizens aspire to enter public life.

Civic Future identifies and educates talented people in early, mid, and late career, supporting them to make a public contribution. Our talent pipeline programmes equip people with the tools to navigate the arcane and often intimidating world of the British political system, providing intellectual insight and practical know-how.

We are non-party political, charitable, and grounded in the ideas and values that underpin liberal democracy.

Fellowship

A one-year programme for those in early to mid career with exceptional ability and intellectual curiosity who aspire to become public leaders.

Economics for Policy and Government: 2024 courses

Are you working in policy, politics or public life, and keen to improve your understanding of economics and public finances? We are pleased to offer two new, 1-day, courses:

Economics for Government: Foundation. Ideal for those looking for a basic grounding in micro and macro economics, and the UK economy, this will help you better understand the policy choices for growth.

Economics in Policymaking. This course builds on the foundations and would suit those with seeking to understand the UK economy in historical and international comparison, and the details of microeconomic and macroeconomic policy levers. It will also cover the limits of economic and scientific advice.

Each course will run twice this year at our Public Hall office in SW1 and places are limited. Please indicate your interest and preferred date here, and we will be in touch to confirm.
