Dartington stages UK's 'first' social justice festival. 3 September 2011Last updated at 08:26 Celia Atherton said the social justice festival was an "experiment" Celia Atherton is the woman behind what is being billed as the UK's first festival of social justice. The theme of September's Interrogate! Festival at Dartington Hall in Devon is wealth inequality. Mrs Atherton, director of Social Justice at Dartington, said that with the recent UK riots the subject matter was a timely one. She said it was "extraordinary" that the rioters were looting "symbols of wealth" like flat screen televisions, trainers, clothes, jewellery and champagne.
"We've created a society where people want status symbols to be looked up to. "It's not just about the poor, it's about what all of us can do to live happier lives. " 'Make a difference' Mrs Atherton said the festival was "an experiment" and aimed to bring people together to debate "important subjects, like whether being a consumer society makes us a happier society".

The keynote speakers at the event included Sir Terry Waite CBE, Rory Stear, Celia Atherton OBE, Matthew Griffiths and Steven Jones.
Both Mr Waite and Mr Stear were filmed in interviews as well as covering the speeches for the hugely successful event attended by over 250 people. After editing and conversion for internet use, we then hosted the High Definition videos on our streaming server to ensure ultra-fast delivery and stability for playback demand, especially as all of the videos were over ten minutes in length which means very big file sizes.

The Centre for Social Justice - Home. Social justice. Social justice is the ability people have to realize their potential in the society where they live.[1] Classically, "justice" (especially corrective justice or distributive justice) referred to ensuring that individuals both fulfilled their societal roles,[2] and received what was due from society.
"Social justice" is generally used to refer to a set of institutions which will enable people to lead a fulfilling life and be active contributors to their community.[3] The goal of social justice is generally the same as human development, and the relevant institutions are usually taken to include education, health care, social security, labour rights, as well as a broader system of public services, progressive taxation and regulation of markets, to ensure fair distribution of wealth, equality of opportunity, and no gross inequality of outcome. History[edit] The different concepts of justice, as discussed in ancient Western philosophy, were typically centered upon the community. Islam[edit]
