Dr Danny Sriskandarajah on the Future of the Commonwealth!

By The Editor

Whilst running a series of live virtual events in London on 3rd November 2009, Zoe Ware (RCS) managed to grab Dr Danny Sriskandarajah (RCS Director) for a few words on film.

Dr. Danny Sriskandarajah, Director of the Royal Commonwealth Society, talks about the Commonwealth Conversation, the largest public consultation ever undertaken about the future of the Commonwealth. He says that the profile of the Commonwealth worldwide is worryingly low, and that the Commonwealth must now revitalise itself to become more relevant, especially to young people. He also talks about the benefits of the exchanges that take place across the Commonwealth family, but adds that Commonwealth civil society organisations are under-utilised and need to reach out to more people.
