Tuesday 24th August at The Nerve Centre.

Following a day of relaxation for all the busy people at The Nerve Centre, Tuesday sees another day of radical fun for all including the exhibition open all day and the following events:

We present the film "We Feed The World" from 1pm, a film concerning food and globalisation, fishermen and farmers, long distance lorry drivers and high powered corporate executives. See the trailer below.

Other films may follow it, so stick around afterwards for the inevitable discussion that will flow before we lead into another discussion from The Nerve Centre from 3.30pm presented by Marina Grueic. The topic, 'Is Veganism the Answer?', centers around a report from The United Nations that has identified the worlds rapidly growing herds of cattle as the greatest threat to the climate, forests and wildlife.

Needless to say it'll be a stimulating day, so come on down and get involved!

Well, I have my ideas, but maybe there’s an enquiry in it...
