[from Leeds City of Sanctuary]
-------- LEEDS SUMMAT GATHERING ----------------------------------------------
Leeds City of Sanctuary are pleased to present (in partnership with 10 other
local organisations) the Leeds Summat Gathering, on Saturday 26th November.
Please read on for full info…
We’re living through extraordinary times, with seismic upheavals and
change: economic, political, cultural, social, media, environmental, and
more. Against this backdrop though, we have huge opportunities to re-think
and re-order the world, locally and globally…
The Leeds Summat Gathering 2011 (http://www.summat.org) is for anyone who
dreams of a different future, anyone itching for change. It’s a free,
all-day, all-age event for people from all walks of life across Leeds and the
North – on Saturday 26th November 2011, from 9am until late, at Leeds
University Union and Notre Dame College LS2. Drop in or come all day.
Building on the success of the first Summat in 2009, it will feature special
guest speakers and performers, 40+ workshops, food, music, arts, film,
conversation, and much much more. An opportunity to connect with new people,
share learning, eat together, have a laugh, debate the big issues… and work
out how we can change our communities, our city, and our world for a better
future. (For all those to came to ‘One Love One Leeds' in May, this will be
similar… only much bigger!)
Special guests include: Lord Maurice Glasman (outspoken political guru and
advisor to Ed Miliband); activist leaders from the uprisings in Egypt, Syria
and Greece; Peter Tatchell (human rights campaigner); BBC Ethical Man Justin
Rowlatt; creative campaigners UK Uncut; People's Supermarket (as seen on TV);
Harry Gration from BBC Look North; and more.
In the mix with everything else, there will be a range of
refugee/asylum-related activities - including workshops, and a Fresh Asylum
Claim clinic hosted by the Manuel Bravo Project. Click here

Book your free place and/or get full info at http://www.summat.org.
Downloadable flyers at http://www.t4p.org.uk/summat2011-finalflyer. Or find
us on Facebook and Twitter. Please spread the word! We’re aiming to have
people from pretty much every community/culture/corner of the city - each
with their own unique wisdom, stories, perspectives on life, etc.
We look forward to seeing you then!
