Welfare Wednesdays @ the Cafe Project

This year, CUSU Welfare wants to start tackling some of the taboo subjects that Welfare Campaigns deal with: ‘Why are we living through a sexual health epidemic in this country?’, ‘How can we promote positive body image and tackle eating disorders?’, ‘How does student depression affect studies?’.  To truly tackle these issues we need to start understanding them from the grass roots.  Every week, CUSU Welfare will be posing controversial questions to do with a range of issues and invite you to come and discuss them with us.  The cafe project is hosting it: helping us bring together students and the local community and get to grips with welfare issues affecting our society today.  For more information email welfare@cusu.cam.ac.uk or come along, Wednesdays from 5-6.30 during term time (15^th October to 3^rd December).

Join the Hub and CUiD to watch "Favela Rising", a film which documents a man and a movement, a city divided and a favela (Brazilian squatter settlement) united. Haunted by the murders of his family and many of his friends, Anderson Sá is a former drug-trafficker who turns social revolutionary in Rio de Janeiro’s most feared slum. Through hip-hop music, the rhythms of the street, and Afro-Brazilian dance he rallies his community to counteract the violent oppression enforced by teenage drug armies and sustained by corrupt police. At the dawn of liberation, just as collective mobility is overcoming all odds and Anderson’s grassroots Afro Reggae movement is at the height of its success, a tragic accident threatens to silence the movement forever...

tea, coffee and cake oh my!

He poured the coffee
Into the cup
He poured the milk
Into the cup of coffee
He added the sugar
To the coffee and milk
He stirred it
With a teaspoon
He drank the coffee
And put back the cup
Without speaking to me

Come along to the Hub's Winter Social at the Café Project, from 7pm till late! A great chance to meet like-minded people. Lots of tea, coffee and cake provided, as always. See you there! :)

CUID open debates are informal discussion groups which meet every other Thursday at the Cafe Project on Jesus Lane to talk about development issues. They are quite small scale and participants are encouraged to share their views with the rest of the group. A small amount of prior knowledge is usually required, but only a small amount!

Financial organisation comes down to how to generate and then channel money in an emerging economy. In this session Joe will suggest that there are things you have to do in an emerging economy that would be very hard to defend in a more developed economy.

From 10am to 11pm every Friday the cafe will be run to raise money for the Lesbian Association of India.

Each week the cafe will be transformed, this week we will take you to Mexico with flamenco, vibrant music and spicy Chilli for lunch or dinner.

Join the Hub and Stop AIDS to watch "Dispatches: Living with AIDS", in which Sorious Samura documents a month spent working as an orderly in a hospital in Zambia, where the majority of the patients are HIV positive, and exposes the untold story of AIDS - how poverty and the complex nature of African culture and sexuality are hampering efforts to eradicate this horrifying disease.

Come along to watch this powerful and thought-provoking documentary, then sign the Stop AIDS Campaign's current postcard petition, "Push for the Pool", calling for the creation of a patent pool to enable vital ARVs to be manufactured as generic drugs and sold to developing countries at affordable prices.
