What does it mean to be an ordinary radical? What lessons have we learnt in our own lives that we can share to help others be more effective in making a positive difference in the world? And what makes an ordinary person like you or I decide to do something truly extraordinary like leaving comfortable suburbia to get our hands dirty tackling injustice head on?
This term at Justice Matters we will be looking at all of these questions and more through a series of sessions designed to inspire, encourage and equip us to become (or become more effective as) ordinary radicals.
Our cafesessions (19th September, 17th October and 21st November) will combine practical tips to help us to be more radical in our everyday lives, with talks from guest speakers who have taken more extraordinary steps to change the world for the better. As usual, these will take place at Coffee Republic on North Finchley High Road. Come along from 7:30pm for coffee and a catch-up with others.
At our pub gatherings (3rd October, 7th November and 5th December) we will be seeking your ideas for how to develop and improve the network, using each session to consider how we advance in one of three directions: Up, Out and In. Locations for these will be published ahead of the gathering, usually in a local pub or cafe.
The final gathering of term will be the Christmas party on 19th December at Coffee Republic.
