What is a Quest?

Have you ever considered going beyond the confines of your town, city or region to challenge your approach to problems?

Common Purpose Quests are your opportunity to do so. Spend a day immersed in the economic, political and social context of another location (at home or overseas), learning lessons and comparing challenges with leaders from across the world.

Quests are a fantastic opportunity to gain a unique insight into the culture of another location!

We are delighted that you would like to take part in a Common Purpose Quest. To secure a place, please contact your local Common Purpose office.

Places are limited, so we strongly encourage you to register as soon as possible. We are reserving places on a first come, first served basis. Once you return the booking form, we will hold a place for you. Official confirmation of placement is conditional upon receipt of full payment prior to the event.

If there is not a Quest to a location that is of interest or at a convenient time, it is possible to arrange for a bespoke Quest to be designed for your organisation or partnership. Find out more about this from your local Common Purpose office.

Dublin was at the core of Ireland's growth during the recent boom years. A view from any rooftop in the city would have been filled with new developments, and buildings rising high into the sky. Though these times were good, the growth was not sustainable and the economic recession saw many company closures, a steep rise in unemployment and a short-sightedness in the preparation and education of the workforce of the future.

The challenges that the city now faces are many. As Irelands economic engine, our Quest day will look at whether the city has the political, economic and cultural capacity to lead Irelands economic recovery.

During the day we will be looking at:

• Where has Dublin come from? What have been the key events in Dublin's past and what lessons can be drawn from them?

 • What next for Dublin? What are the key trends and opportunities being embraced by leaders in Dublin?

 This day will bring participants into contact with those who are at the forefront of the many challenges facing Dublin and give them an opportunity to gain new perspectives on how this city is adapting to its new realities.

"The view from your office window seldom changes. If we want our leaders to see the bigger picture, they have to go out and see the world through other people's eyes."
