Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Strengthening Community Action
Two of the discussions due to be held on the (slightly oddly named) Haringey Independence Day (See Calendar):
COMMUNITY ACTION IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOODS
How can we all, as residents, get together in our local communities to support each other and improve our lives and environment?
Showing of the 2007 documentary about Haringey's residents associations - 'Community Action - Residents United' - followed by an open discussion about how people are taking action around some of the key issues affecting our local neighbourhoods. This is likely to include traffic calming, parks and green spaces, housing conditions, planning and development, public services and amenities (eg health, libraries, schools, youth and community centres etc), community spirit and anti-social behaviour...
Film and discussion hosted by the Haringey Federation of Residents Associations
HOW TO START OR STRENGTHEN A COMMUNITY GROUP
A practical workshop on everything you ever wanted to know about creating an active and successful group but were afraid to ask.
In order to have any real effect on what goes on around us in Haringey, and to improve things, we need hundreds of strong and active local groups of all kinds standing up for the interests of our communities. Come along if you want to find out or discuss the practicalities of how groups start, grow, share information, spread ideas, organise effective campaigns, be inclusive and involve their members, make decisions collectively, stick together, keep going, avoid burn out... and most importantly, achieve lots of success! All welcome - novices or experienced activists alike.
Organised by Haringey Solidarity Group
Guest speaker: Dave Morris
