Find out about the upcoming Tuesday sessions at OP and other news that you might find interesting. Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Welcome to the OP Weekly Newsletter After a break from our normal programming the last couple of weeks we're back with a chance to join an OP dinner group.  A cornerstone of our group for the last 2 years, the process has brought about some pretty radical changes in the participants lives with an alternative session if it's not for you.  Read on if you're interested.  Next week's session is still TBC but we'll let you know as soon as it's decided. Remember that OP is a community-driven initiative so if you've got something you'd like to see at a session, a speaker in mind or maybe you'd like to host one yourself, let us know.  It's a great way to get feedback on an idea, recruit some willing volunteers for your project or just to share something that you feel passionate about. Thanks for listening The OP Committee Join a Dinner Group 31/5/11: If you feel you are going through a career transition, whether you are thinking about leaving your current job, or considering "what next" or you even have an idea that you would like to develop, you may find that joining a "Dinner group" will offer a lot of valuable support to help you navigate through this journey that may feel difficult at times. A "Dinner group" is a group of 6-8 people, who are in some sort of transition, that meet regularly (every 4-6 weeks) over dinner to offer each other support and insight. Some of us, through Open Platform, have already participated in such a group and have really valued the support that we received. In this session we will form new groups, we will explain the process and each group will have their first Dinner together. This whole session takes place over food so please make sure you bring food to share". For those not interested in joining a dinner group at this time we have an alternative group for some lively discussion around the following: The aspects of our history and culture that have contributed to the environmental crisis we face, and the aspects that are contributing to our response to it. Also, how increased awareness of these aspects of our civilisation's inheritance can shape environmental and social activism. Send us some good news If you've got information you think would benefit the Open Platform community, maybe an interesting event or opportunity email it toin...@openplatform.org.uk to have it included in the newsletter. Thanks for reading! Open Platform sessions take place most Tuesdays on the 3rd Floor of Bush House (above the Arnolfini), Prince Street, Bristol, BS1 4QD, unless otherwise stated.  We start with a food-share at 6pm while the main event starts at 7pm.
