How can we bridge community divides? Community Workshop and Discussion

When: Saturday 21st April 11.00 – 13.00

Where: The Attic Room, The Bush Theatre, Uxbridge Road Shepherd’s Bush

Protection Approaches is delighted to invite you to join us at community workshop and discussion at the Bush Theatre. This event will bring together community members from different backgrounds, ages, and professions to explore ideas of how we can bridge community divides.

During our project, Prejudice and Us, we worked with young people from Shepherds Bush, White City and Hammersmith to understand their experiences of prejudice. We discovered that prejudice is an ever present problem affecting the lives of the young people in a variety of ways and that many young people feel they live in an increasingly divided community. You can view a full report of our findings here.

We hope that this workshop and discussion will be an opportunity to work together to think of ways we can bridge those divides and make our community a better place for all.

The event will end with a buffet lunch and a chance to continue discussions informally
