Every month, join us online over a Friday lunchtime to discover changemakers from across the South East region, be inspired and learn from each other.
Echoing the RSA’s origin as an enlightenment coffeehouse over 250 years ago, our regular South East Coffeehouse series offers an interactive space to share, spark and develop ideas for social change.
Each Friday, we feature one South East changemaker, giving them the floor to share their work or facilitate a discussion. We invite you to connect with local changemakers, be inspired by innovative Fellow-led projects, share insights and learn from each other.
The themes and conversations vary month-to-month, fostering unique conversations in each session. So come along, and start your weekend with a spark of inspiration!
Coming up in 2024, we'll hear from:
20 May: Poppy Jaman FRSA & Barbara Berkley Hill FRSA - Sarees and Seeds of Hope
Poppy Jaman FRSA – Founder of MindForward Alliance. Poppy will be joining us to speak about her work in mental health, and her Saree Funshops, which explore deeper conversations on identity, pride and self-limiting beliefs through the joy of draping sarees.
Barbara Berkley Hill FRSA – Barbara will be joining us to discuss the ‘Seeds of Hope’ publication, which features the work of 5 Fellows living and working in India, the US and the UK. It centres around how people and the planet can be reconnected in new and meaningful ways.
