Hey folks,
The committee have been looking at how OP has been working since we took over the organisation about 6 months ago. I won't go into details about what we've decided just yet, as we'll be sending out an email with all our ideas and stuff in it this coming week. But I can share with you that we're really excited and inspired. There's a definite sense of passion and purpose around this and I personally am really looking forward to sharing these ideas with you in the coming days.
For now though, there's this coming Tuesday session below, and a couple of other things that you might find inspiring. Hopefully see you soon.
Thanks for listening
The OP Committee

Simple Tuesday at OP
28/6/11: We're having a simple OP night this Tuesday. Come along for a chat and some shared food. If you need to do any networking, then as always we'll see if we can help you on that. If you've got a project idea or need then requests for help, feedback or advice is, as always, welcome. And of course, if you're looking for a little mentoring-style one-on-one, then come along and we can have a chat. If you just want to come and watch a thought-provoking film and have a discussion we'll also be setting up the projector in one of the corners.

Seminar - Fairness, sustainability and human numbers - Does it add up?
13th July 2011 18:00 -20:00 St Nicholas House, 31-34 High Street, Bristol, BS12AW
All environmental problems become harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people - David Attenborough
As we look ahead to the middle of this century, world population is projected to reach between 8.1 and 10.6 billion. Increasing numbers of people are voicing concerns about population numbers in the context of climate change, peak oil, soil erosion, fresh-water loss, resource depletion, and the ‘6th extinction’ of wildlife. The CONVERGE project seeks to explore the part that human numbers should play in our research into how, given the current situation, do we manage and allocate, today, the Earth’s resources for the survival of a projected global population of 8 to 11 billion people in 2050 - and for their offspring indefinitely?
The Schumacher Institute and Population Matters invite you to join us as we explore the relationships between fairness, sustainability and human numbers. This is the third event in the CONVERGE Rethinking Globalisation seminar series.
Space is limited so please email ju...@schumacherinstitute.org.uk to reserve.
