If you had the chance, would you change the world? Of course you would. But sometimes it feels like we lack the ability or influence to make a difference. This evening class with writer and performer John-Paul Flintoff will offer you a powerful reminder that if you don’t like something, you can change it.
Many of us feel hopeless and alone with our concerns from time to time. John-Paul will teach you how to turn your frustrations into a motor for self-directed action: instead of problems, you will start to notice opportunities.
Combining insights on history, politics and contemporary culture, John-Paul will equip you with the courage to overcome inertia and indifference, identify your greatest concerns and take the first steps towards turning your ideas into reality.
Working in small groups, you will see how powerful it can be to share your ideas, even – or especially – when they’re not fully formed. You will learn better ways to share them, so instead of putting people off with dismal lectures, you may find them lining up to join your cause. Every participant will leave with a clearer idea of what their own mission might be and who might be able to help them.
