A 'book in eight minutes' - Our Society event
Capturing ideas of hope, struggle and success from a meeting of 100 community activists, charity workers, networkers and others is something of a challenge, but with a little imagination and a lot of conviction it can be done.
Discussion and debate ranged widely at the meeting of Our Society (formerly Big Society in the North) members hosted by CDX at the Round Foundry Media Centre in Leeds last Thursday 20 January. Cynicism, optimism and vision were all openly on display, often in individual participants.
Our Society aims to be a learning and support network for people involved in community action.
Many of the ideas and feelings expressed by participants are captured in a ‘book in eight minutes’ which can be viewed online.
