House Protocol
Our Protocol
St George's House is a space rooted in the narrative of history but its focus is firmly on the future. Here is a safe haven, an environment receptive to new ideas, to taking risks, to living at the intellectual edge. The House is a sanctuary, away from the pressures of everyday life, where the topic to hand takes precedence. It is this focus that encourages creative thinking, informed debate and imaginative engagement. Participants look to the future. They are in a place where a real contribution to society can be made, where personal enrichment and social progress are mutually compatible, a place where Wisdom is nurtured.
In order to offer a safe and secure intellectual space our Consultations are run on the understanding that all debate and and conversation takes place under the House Protocol.
