Across North Africa and the Middle East, people have begun to imagine a different future. Meanwhile, Spain is experiencing spontaneous eruptions of people filling public squares to talk and eat together. Here in the UK, we may not be experiencing their degree of oppressive government or economic difficulties. But economically, socially, environmentally, internationally, politically and more – the
need for imaginative thinking, innovative action, and making connections is just as urgent… and exciting! What are we doing that might be an ‘outpost’ of the future? What are our big questions and our next steps? The Leeds Summat Gathering will be an all-age gathering for 1000+ people from all walks of life across Leeds and the north to explore the big issues of our time. The all-day event will feature: workshops, food, youth and kids activities, music, speakers, networking, art, conversations, film, and much, much more. Some of the activities will be massive, some tiny; some will be very intense and high-brow, others very frivolous. We look forward to seeing you there! Thanks to Leeds University Union (www.leedsuniversityunion.org.uk) for kindly hosting us (for free!), at their lovely big venue on the university campus in LS2. (Note: the Leeds ‘Summat’ is for EVERYONE, and not especially just students, although they like everyone are very welcome…)
