WORLDwrite is delighted to announce additional spaces are now available in a new venue for the final two free public lectures in The London Behind the Scenes series.
While the mayoral elections in London have raised much huffing and puffing and no vision, these not to be missed free lectures promise to raise the stakes. Guest speakers promise inspiring ideas and a critique of what's on offer in the run up to the Olympics. Some serious debate and argument is guaranteed!
The meaning and impact of regeneration
Tuesday 6th May 7pm
In the run up to the Olympics, "regeneration" is the buzz word for London's East End, but what does it mean? Should we treat it with caution or celebrate it?
Speaker: James Woudhuysen, Professor of Forecasting and Innovation at De Montfort University, Leicester, Board member of the Housing Forum, Director of audacity.
Tourism today
Tuesday 13th May, 7pm
As the world descends on the East End to see the games should we heed the call to fly less, travel less and see less for fear of carbon footprint size or is tourism a greater good?
Speaker: Jim Butcher, lecturer in tourism studies and author of The Moralisation of Tourism: Sun, Sand... and Saving the World? and Ecotourism, NGOs and Development: A Critical Analysis.
Both these free lectures will now be taking place in the Studio Theatre at The Brady Arts and Community Centre, 192/196 Hanbury Street (off Brick Lane), London, E1 5HU.
