The U’s founding belief was that engaging training in a range of useful skills such as first aid, saving energy and intervening safely to defuse conflict will encourage more effective responses to social challenges by citizens who participate in The U.

This research paper sets out the design behind this venture from the Young Foundation and Nesta.
