TED Chat is an opportunity for thought provoking discussion on a wide range of topics. It is open to all and no prior knowledge is required.
The format is that we'll watch one of the TED Talks, and then there will be an opportunity for group discussion. Usually we'll cover 2-3 talks in an evening. Some weeks they may all be on a particular theme, such as sustainable development.
If you have a TED talk you'd particularly like discussed please contact me : alex [at] alexrice.co.uk
This Week :
This weeks theme is how our beliefs about the underlying nature of a problem affects the kinds of solutions we are open to. The two talks are :
Devdutt Pattanik : East vs West
Malcom Gladwell : What we can learn from spaghetti sauce
Start: 19:30
End: 23:00
The Peoples Cinema, films for the people!
Come and enjoy a regular series of thought provoking documentaries, lesser known cinema and general oddities. We are fully liscensed to sell tea and cake to the audience :)
Cafe open from 7:30pm, films begin at 8pm, stay around for discussion afterwards.
This weeks film: The First Wave and other Shorts
A short film looking at some of the first islands that are being evacuated due to rising sea levels, and the difficulties and trauma of abandoning your ancestral home. I'll also show some other short films around the theme of the human impact of climate change.
This weeks discussion: Climate Justice, after Copenhagen
The word has been thrown around a lot during the protests in Copenhagen, but what does the word mean in practice? How can we build and maintain a truly global movement, and what are we willing to do as individuals to ensure a fair life and future for all inhabitants of the Earth. We can also explore climate migration, and the future we face if we do nothing.
(Ben or whoever is doing the screening will be volunteering too, if you want to help out, you're more than welcome! If it's your first time just let us know and we can come a bit early and show you the ropes)

C4 is open to anyone who enjoys drawing - from manga to children's comics to graphic novels to one-panel cartoons - and would like to just come and sit down with us to have coffee and draw and talk... There are people from loads of different backgrounds and with very different drawing styles. One person in the group is a freelance comic artist, but beginners are more than welcome! Generally every Saturday session is very flexible, people can drop in at any time and although we often have group projects and activities, there's no compulsion to take part in them. At the end of last year we also had a 24-hour comic event: 5 of us stayed up 24 hours to draw a whole 24-page comic. We'll certainly be doing that again this year.

This Weeks Film: Microcosomos
A documentary shot using high definition cameras to capture the social and everyday lives of insects as they go about their lives. Set to instrumental music, we see creatures working together, building giant structures, carrying objects many times their size and generally come to appreciate the smaller worlds around us
This Weeks Discussion: Insect Society?
I haven't seen the film, so I can't predict how it will make us feel, but I'm imagining we'll have some reflections on worlds within worlds, how creatures work together for more than just themselves, or maybe we'll just be laughing at that beetle that couldn't quite make it up the hill... come and find out!

This weeks Film: Zeitgeist Addendum
This Weeks Discussion: The Zeitgeist Movement
This week we'll be watching the zeitgeist film and discussing the issues and ideas it raises, explore what the zeitgeist movement is about and what we can do. Personally I don't know that much about the film, but have watched the first zeitgeist film and a documentary about the Venus Project, and both have a good amount of interesting ideas and concepts to explore, as well as problematic things that I'm sure we can discuss.
