Come along to find out more about the cafe project and to get involved in the decision making process!

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 this first session is an introduction.

In this first session our open debate leader, Joe Studwell, will talk about what he thinks are the most important contributing factors in developmental success and why his expertise in Asia has led him to this conclusion. This first discussion sets the scene for the series and invites those attending to challenge Joe's 'big picture', suggest alternatives and pose questions to be addressed during the series.

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.

FOUND magazine is a American-based collection of FOUND items that have been sent
in by readers around the world; love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes...

After 7 years of sharing magical finds in hundreds of North American cities,
FOUND Magazine's Davy and Peter Rothbart take their rowdy, exhilarating
reading-and-music extravaganza across Europe for the first time ever!! Davy
delivers hilarious and heartbreaking FOUND notes and letters; Peter performs
dazzling songs based on finds sent in by readers. The L.A. Times calls Davy and
Peter Rothbart "utterly engaging performers," and the Boston Globe calls the
show "a powerful fix for thinking voyeurs."

Calling all nations with Davy and Peter: the death-defying 19-year-old
sword-swallowing prodigy Brett Loudermilk, and legendary Los Angeles
underground D.J. Andrew Cohn.  Bring your friends and your own favorite finds to
share!

The Cafe will be open from 7.30 but the show will start at 8, and we might be open afterwards as well depending on when it finishes....

This event is free and open to attend (as are all evening Cafe events) but obviously the tour is costing FOUND lots of money so please buy lots of magazines / donate what you can if you enjoy the show.

Ever wondered how vegans can do without bacon, sausages or even eggs for a special breakfast? Here is your chance to find out what delicious animal-free brunch treats are possible... Join us once a month for yummy food, recipie sharing, and a relaxing Sunday morning.

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 us for an evening of discussion, learning and meeting people run by the Cambridge Hub, a network of  community, campaigning and charitable student organisations. Each Wednesday in termtime, a different member society will run a short timetabled event - a talk, a workshop, a film - from 8 to 9pm - followed by informal cafe sociableness until closing time.  Come along to find out more about what Hub societies are doing in Cambridge, get to know people who are concerned about social justice and global issues, and make the links between societies which can be stronger by working together.

The Shop  - http://www.theshopjesuslane.co.uk/ - a few doors down from us at no. 18 are running 'Make Do and Mend' from 12 noon till 4 pm - "This event will showcase subversive glamour: guests are invited to bring unwanted clothing that they can swap for something new and more covetable. The ‘Stitch Up’ girls will attend the event to help customise and decorate the clothing. In addition, fashion and accessories designed by local makers will be on sale. Entrance 50p."

And hopefully (providing we find volunteers at this short notice - my bad for leaving it so late) we'll be open for that time and a bit later (or whenever we can mange) to provide refreshments and a place to chat for participants, plus anyone else who comes in.

Should be good :-).

We're baking for the cafe at the Wesley church kitchens. Meet at the cafe at 5.30, bring a recipe and any special ingredients you need for it. We'll get what we're lacking from Sainsbury's, go on to bake and come back with fresh cake to sell to the Amnesty letter-writers! Ring me up on 07942044472 if you're going to be late.

In this session Joe will talk somewhat generally about 'initial conditions' in a society, but mainly will stick to two topics - land reform and sociological legacies. Land reform is very relevant due to the critical role it played in Asian success stories. Joe will also touch upon land reform in Latin America and Africa. Sociological legacies will include colonialism, communism and historical cultural factors. Joe will mention why he thinks that 'dependencies' are real but can be overcome.

The Hub and SSSK invite you to step outside the "Cambridge Bubble" for an evening, to watch the gripping and eye-opening documentary "Children Underground", a film following the lives of a group of street children in Romania. The film was nominated for an Oscar and has won numerous other awards. Afterwards you'll have a chance to make a difference as raffle tickets to win bottles of champagne will be on sale, with all proceeds going to SSSK. There will also be the chance to find out more about the work of SSSK and learn how you can get involved. Tea and cake provided by the Café Project all night.

ABOUT THE FILM: "Children Underground" reveals the horrendous effects of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu's regime - Ceausescu's decision to ban contraception and abortion as a way of increasing the country's work force resulted in a generation of children born into a nearly incomprehensible state of poverty and destitution. The documentary focuses on five of these abandoned kids who live in a Bucharest subway station. Cristina, the group's 16-year-old leader, shaves her head in order to pass as a male and avoid further sexual assaults. Mihai is an intelligent, charming 12-year-old who smokes cigarettes and dreams of a brighter future. 10-year-old runaway Ana, too young to take care of herself, guards over her innocent younger brother Marian. And, finally, there is Macarena, a dazed, disoriented 14-year-old who inhales paint and fantasises about a family that is waiting for her in a distant, nameless land.

ABOUT WEDNESDAY HUB NIGHTS: Come along to Hub Nights at the Café Project (on Jesus Lane) every Wednesday during term-time, from 7pm till late! The evening starts with a short event, such as a film screening, organised by a different member group each week. This provides a regular focus for people interested in learning more about different social issues, from climate change to human rights to international development. Afterwards, the Café remains open so discussion can continue informally over tea, coffee and cake.

For more info about the Cambridge Hub please see www.cambridgehub.org.   

...just a simple booking for a meeting

Let's make those working groups work!

Joe believes that industrial and foreign trade and investment policy are inseparable and critically important. In this session he will mention the experiences of East Asia with regards to industrial and foreign policy, particularly scrutinising the 'liberal' thinking on these issues. He will highlight policy differences between North-East Asia, South-East Asia and China as a means to illuminate global policy variation.
