International Centre for Participation Studies - EVENT 20th Feb

[Sarah Lyall]

This event is in Bradford – and looks exciting. Fitting well with co-production principles, it's "not about listening to speakers but listening to each other and our varied experiences and knowledge."

The ICPS invites you to...

A conversation about community organising and activism in today's Britain.
• How do we approach organising and activism in communities today?
• What are we learning about power and change?
• How do we engage with politics in an age of austerity and state withdrawal?
• Can organising at the community level make a difference?
• Is this a new form of politics?
• How might this impact on Bradford’s communities?

And...a celebration both of the Comm-UNI-ty (Community University) Programme and the 10th Anniversary of the ICPS (International Centre for Participation Studies, Peace Studies.

The event is not about listening to speakers but listening to each other and our varied experiences and knowledge. You will be fed (lunch and tea) It will include: -
