Crisis Opportunity?

We did it! On 27th October the people came to Crisis Opportunity? at the Swarthmore Centre to attend four of thirteen workshops, hear from twenty two contributors and be inspired by 86 other participants. Phew! The day brought together activists in Leeds to examine two questions. 1. How can we thrive in a time of crisis? 2. Where are the opportunities for resistance? The plenary set the scene for the day exploring how the crisis has happened, how this is affecting us in Leeds and around the world and how we can turn it into an opportunity for global justice. To round of the plenary, we heard from Lucy Garbett about how Palestine is forming resistance in a time of crisis. We then had a fun packed day with loads of workshops, scarf making and seed sowing.
