Listening Posts are regular meetings that take a snapshot of society at a particular moment in time. They explore the idea that a small group, when studying the behaviour of the wider social system that is society, will unconsciously express some of the characteristics of society and that these are discernible from the themes and patterns emerging from the discussion.
The International Listening Post Project is convened on an annual basis to coincide with the London New Year Listening Post. In January of each year, Listening Posts are held in around thirty countries under the guidance and coordination of OPUS. These are all presented in a common format as a Global Report.
This research now has several years of Global Reports to compare and is generating valuable data that is increasing in relevance as the effects of globalisation are felt throughout the world.
