imagination.

SATURDAY  21 Oct. 7:00 9:00

Q and A Conversation on ideas around what is stopping us!

What are the barriers? What stops participation? What would encourage
more? Where are the mentors for our young. How do folk get started. The
obsession with ownership? The obsession with things? The baby boomers
revolution what happened to them? Inter-generational collaboration? How
do we get folk to invest in public life, for the sake of our youth,
future generations and the common good and our own sense of purpose. We
have some ideas around this and you probably have to.


SUNDAY 22 Drop-in Drop-out - All Day

Weather permitting we will be bouncing about with our wheelchair trailer
decked out in LED signage and getting on the street to talk to folk
about the common good and whatever else turns up. Meet at the CCA for
some general chat and a cup of tea and to find out more. You will notice
us there will be flashing lights:) and a filming crew. Ask at desk where
you can find us.
