From Eileen
‘After posting something on FB I was contacted by the organiser of a symposium called ‘Deconstructing neoliberal hegemony’ which sounded just up my street! My family get a bit fed up with me going on about ‘neoliberal hegemony’ so I welcomed the chance to spend a couple of days with others who are interested in it. I feel a tad apprehensive because they are mainly international academics but go I must! http://realdemocracymovement.org/ifi-2018-invitation-copenhagen-deconstructing-neoliberal-hegemony/
Then, browsing what to do in Copenhagen I came across the Christiana alternative community. https://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/culture/alternative-christiania. Something else worth visiting I reckon.
I’m going on Sunday 10th June and returning Wed 13th June. The symposium is Mon/Tues. I’m flying (sorry!) from Stansted – return flight about £80
Have booked an airbnb in central Copenhagen
The symposium is free – they ask for a donation
Be great if anyone feels the urge to go and can afford it. Total cost around £250 plus food

‘Posh Fish & Chips’ networking event for businesses
Clarence Yard in Clarence Street, Southend is hosting a business networking event on 14th May and providing ‘posh fish and chips,’ with veggie alternatives, for delegates.
The evening event is part of the Double Whammy series of Southend business networking events.
Tickets for the event are £10, which includes food and a welcome drink. £8 from each ticket sold will go to a ‘charity pot’ to support two local good causes: Southend Hospital Charity For Wards Appeal; and N-Act, a local theatre group that users the power of stage play and interaction to inform and educate young people about important issues such as social media usage and gang culture.
Jill Poet, CEO of BSTLC CIC which organises these events, stressed: “We welcome business people to join us at DW Networking events as we find business networking in a relaxed, more social atmosphere works really well. And, of course, our events also raise money for local good causes through ticket sales. We’ve raised over £9,000 to date. But these are quality business networking events and we will not be holding any raffles on auctions on the day.”
Booking is essential: jill, or Google Double Whammy Southend
