There are many interesting avenues of change around the city. There are groups, campaigns, projects and activities, working in the common good, but many of them are invisible to a lot of people.
The “Village Square” at the Pearce Institute, (PI) will be space run by volunteers, day time as well as evening events. There will be hands on workshops on model making, mapping, meetings, discussions, talks, films. Groups working in the communities will be invited to exhibit, what they do. Groups from out with the community will be invited to share and swap knowledge, share ideas, organisational skills and build solidarity with each other.
