Dear all, 

At our last meeting we agreed that it would be useful to run a workshop exploring issues of voice, inclusion/exclusion and privilege before 
the official meeting to discuss curriculum on the 30th June at Croft Street Community Centre. 

Details of the workshop are below. It will be held at Croft Street between 10am–12pm (June 30th). You are welcome to arrive from 9.30am to 
have coffee/tea. 

There are three suggested readings for the session. If you plan to participate, it would be good to try and read at least one. 

Here is the link to Jean Bridgeman’s ‘Wise women in community: building on everyday radical feminism for social change’: 
http://www.interfacejournal.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Interface-3-2-Bridgeman.pdf. 

The link to ‘Who cares’ is: http://ceasefiremagazine.co.uk/beautiful-transgressions-5/. 

The third essay, by Wallace Heim, was attached in a previous email.

If you have other readings that you think would be relevant then please bring them to share on the day. 

If you are not planning to participate but can support childcare on the day then please let me know. 

My best wishes 
Sara 

This session is taken from The Body Politic course (facilitated by Sara Motta and Rebecca Beinart) that takes the body as a starting point 
for thinking about power, politics, art and activism - looking at the relationship between internal and external worlds. 

Ear 
Who is heard/not heard? Why? How do we create community and spaces of inclusion and meaningful communication? 
Listening to ourselves, others, the past. 
Spaces for communication and listening 

The workshop will explore issues such as voice, inclusion, participation, privilege etc. We will use creative exercises, theory, 
storytelling and discussion to expand on the themes we're exploring. This is an opportunity to reflect on your own position and experiences 
and share ideas, fears and inspiration with a small group, moving between personal experience and wider questions. 

The workshop is designed to draw on the wisdom of the group, question notions of what 'theory' means and who creates it and expand the 
possibilities for our practices of democratic and participatory education. 

Childcare: Please let us know if you would need childcare in order to attend the workshop.
