View source for Speakers' Corner Background

We've been discussing for some time the possibility of having a Speakers' Corner as part of #TransActing. It could be as simple as a milk crate turned upside down. But other possibilities emerged when [http://www.arts.ac.uk/research/research-staff/a-z/shibboleth-shechter/ Shibboleth Shechter] took up Marsha's invitation to be part of the #TransActing. Shibboleth teaches on the BA in Interior and Spatial Design at Chelsea. In years past she has run a summer school with Widening Participation students. This will be the last time the course runs and it's scheduled for 29.06 to 04.07 (TBC).

Shibboleth has extensive experience working with the [http://www.speakerscornertrust.org/ Speakers' Corner Trust] and this includes producing a [http://www.speakerscornertrust.org/speakers-corner-projects/international-projects/oslo-the-marketplace-of-ideas/ Speakers' Corner for a Market of Ideas in Oslo]. <br>

One of the main limitations is that the students can't use power tools (under aged) and for this reason, they'll be working in cardboard. The group will also have the help of [http://the-decorators.net/Contact Xavi Llarch Font] from [http://the-decorators.net/ the Decorators] and [[Karem Ibrahim|Karem]] has offered to assist with constructing some kind of 'step up'. It was agreed in CP's meeting on [[Meeting Minutes 2 June 2015|2nd June]] that raising the Speakers' Corner up--giving it some height--was a good idea. More on this to come...<br>
