Activism

[close] Come read with us! In September 2020 we held an online public vote to choose the 4 books we would together explore between October 2020 and May 2021. The winning books were; They are: Climate Justice by Mary Robinson, Violent Borders by Reece Jones, On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal by Naomi Klein, Hope in the Dark by Rebecca Solnit. Here's how it will work: 1. Read the book and / or associated read and watch lists (psst: you can receive a book of your choice from the 4 winning books for donating just €4 to us a month!) 2. Join the free public event where a contributor working on the issue covered in the book will join us to explore the issue and actions that can be taken to improve the situation. 3. Take part in a development education workshop to be part of a reflective, critical space for exploration of the issue, and to connect the dots between seemingly disparate issues of global justice in order to foster a sense of interconnectedness and understanding of root causes
