The mission of the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) is to enrich society through ideas and action.
We believe that all human beings have creative capacities that, when understood and supported, can be mobilised to deliver a 21st century enlightenment.

We work to bring about the conditions for this change, not just amongst our diverse Fellowship, but also in institutions and communities.

Action & Research

Our Action & Research Centre’s approach is inspired by our history: the RSA has always sought to unleash the human potential for enterprise and creativity. We find new solutions to social challenges by drawing on the expertise of our networks and acting upon the very best ideas.

Creative Learning & Development

We believe that education systems should be geared more clearly towards equipping people with the power to create. We are convinced that people of every age can learn to develop their creative capacities both as a means to raising attainment and broader outcomes, and as an important end in itself.
