SUMMARY:The Right to Protest: A Cumberland Lodge London Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about our right to protest\, and its evolving role in shaping a better future. Protest is recognised not only as a human right\, but also as a powerful catalyst for change. Young people\, historically at the forefront of activism\, continue to engage in protests on issues such as the climate crisis\, social inequalities\, and international conflicts. \nHowever\, recent government legislation\, including the Policing Act 2022 and the Public Order Act 2023\, new forms of technology and surveillance\, and increasingly dispersed centres of power\, are changing how we think about dissent\, and what is possible to achieve. \nThe 2024 Cumberland Lodge London Dialogue will explore this evolving landscape of protest in the 21st century\, deciphering what these changes may mean for all of us. A panel of research\, student\, and activist voices\, chaired by The Rt Hon the Baroness Usha Prashar\, will debate the new dynamics of protest\, and the impact of new government legislation. \nOur speakers will include Dr Daniella Lock (University of Oxford) and Jodie Beck (Liberty)\, with further details to be announced. \n  \n14 May 2024 from 6:30-8:30pm at Goodenough College\, London \n  \nTickets: £10 (£5 concessions) including light refreshments \n  \nVisit cumberlandlodge.ac.uk/events to book

SUMMARY:Václav Havel European Dialogues: The  Meaning of Central Europe in Today's World by Timothy Garton Ash
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special collaborative event hosted by SSEES and the Czech Center London\, marking the launch of the new Research Center for the Study of Places\, Identities\, and Memories (PIMs). This event celebrates the inauguration of PIMs and is part of the annual Václav Havel European Dialogues\, a global series of discussions inspired by Havel’s enduring legacy. \nThe event will feature a keynote address by Timothy Garton Ash (University of Oxford)\, who will explore the evolving meanings of Central Europe. This theme resonates deeply with Václav Havel’s intellectual legacy. Where does Central Europe stand in the contemporary world and politics\, and what does it represent today? Garton Ash will delve into the diverse interpretations of Central Europe throughout history and culture\, its varied and debated uses and its constant search for its “other”. He will also reflect on Central Europe’s significance in today’s increasingly polarized global landscape\, with particular emphasis on the impact of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This discussion promises to offer profound insights into the identities of a diverse region and its role in shaping the future of Europe and beyond. \nJessie Barton Hronešová will moderate the event and will feature an esteemed panel of speakers\, including Richard Mole\, director of SSEES\, and a word of welcome by Přemysl Pela\, the director of the Czech Center in London\, as well as Pawel Bukowski\, co-director-of-the-new Research Center for the Study of Places\, Identities\, and Memories (PIMs).\n\nTimothy Garton Ash is a distinguished British historian\, political writer\, and commentator\, and he is celebrated for his extensive work on the contemporary history of Europe in general and Central and Eastern Europe in particular. He has authored eleven influential books on the ‘history of the present’\, documenting the profound transformations across Europe since 1989. Notable among these are The Magic Lantern: The Revolution of ’89 Witnessed in Warsaw\, Budapest\, Berlin\, and Prague (1990)\, In Europe’s Name: Germany and the Divided Continent (1993)\, The File: A Personal History (1997)\, History of the Present: Essays\, Sketches and Despatches from Europe in the 1990s (2000)\, Free World (2004)\, Free Speech: Ten Principles for a Connected World (2016)\, and his most recent work\, Homelands: A Personal History of Europe – now translated into 24 languages. These works have become essential for anyone interested in European history and politics. He is a Professor Emeritus of European Studies at the University of Oxford and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. A prolific contributor to leading international publications like The Guardian and The New York Review of Books\, his work continues to shape debates on European identity\, democracy\, and the challenges posed by authoritarianism in today’s world. He also runs his substack with weekly essays called History of the Present.

The pertinent question is: Is war a necessary evil or an organised crime to kill our human species? Either way\, war kills people\, bringing untold suffering and misery. Also\, it’s a waste of vital resources that can be utilised for healthcare\, education\, jobs and boosting the economy’s growth. If the latter argument is valid\, then can we replace war by implementing a Culture of Peace?

SUMMARY:Mark Thomas: Gaffa Tapes
DESCRIPTION:Following a recent step towards theatre in his last few shows\, Mark Thomas is back to his finest stand-up form and anti-Tory sentiment in Gaffa Tapes as he takes his tour to the Leicester Square Theatre! \nMark’s now famous mix of standup\, theatre\, journalism and the odd bout of performance art has made him one of our oldest surviving alternative comics. Often referred to as the ‘godfather of political comedy’ (among many other things)\, Mark has been performing comedy for nearly 40 years. \nIf you don’t know what Mark does\, ask your parents. In his time\, he has won 8 awards for performing\, 3 for human rights work… and one he invented for himself. He has made six series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product and 3 Dispatches for Channel 4\, made five series of the Manifesto for Radio 4\, written five books and 4 play scripts\, curated and authored two art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and was commissioned to write a show for the Royal Opera House. He has forced a politician to resign\, changed laws on tax and protest\, become the Guinness Book of Records world record holder for a number of protests in 24 hours\, taken the police to court three times and won (the fourth is in the pipeline)\, walked the length of the Israeli Wall in the West Bank (that’s 724km)\, and generally mucked about trying to have fun and upset (shall we say) the right people.

SUMMARY:Can We Be Great Again? Why a dangerous world needs Britain.
DESCRIPTION:Former Foreign Secretary Sir Jeremy Hunt MP joins us on Friday 6 June to discuss his new book about Britain’s place in the world in the century ahead.\nThis event is free to attend but booking is essential via our website. \nBritain has been through a difficult period since the global financial crisis\, leading many to conclude the country is doomed to inevitable decline. But Jeremy Hunt\, who was at the top of government as both Foreign Secretary and Chancellor\, disagrees. In his new book: Can We Be Great Again?\, he sets out to rebut those who think Britain is no longer capable of shaping the world we live in. \nWith the election of President Trump\, a world that was already becoming more dangerous has also become more unpredictable. But when it comes to the big challenges facing the world – whether on European security\, the future of democracy\, migration\, trade and climate – the UK remains one of the most influential countries and should\, Hunt says\, use that influence wisely. Hunt does not shy away from the UK’s weaknesses but argues that they should be considered in perspective and without underestimating this country’s many strengths.

SUMMARY:Utoya - UK Premiere
DESCRIPTION:July 2011. On the Norwegian island of Utoya\, a far-right terrorist has just massacred sixty-nine innocent students attending a socialist Summer Camp. \nGunnar and Malin have sent their daughter to the island and desperately seek contact. On the farm next door to the perpetrators\, Petter and Inga realise their suspicions about him are well founded. At Central Command\, Alf and Unni must decide on the best course of action in response to the attack. \nA searing reflection on the domestic effects of societal trauma\, Utoya offers a timely reminder of the threat of far-right extremism\, inviting us to consider how tragedy can both bind people together and pull them further apart. This production is a UK Premiere from leading Italian writer Edoardo Erba.

SUMMARY:Why Ash Regan’s ‘Unbuyable’ bill is right for Scotland: Unravelling the myths around the Nordic Model
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Ash Regan\, independent MSP for Edinburgh Eastern\, will be joining us on Sunday\, 11 January for a webinar to discuss her Unbuyable bill. The bill seeks to lessen the harms from prostitution in Scotland through a holistic approach known as the Nordic Model. \nAsh will be joined by Venessa\, a survivor of the Scottish sex industry and Heli St Luce. The seminar will be introduced and chaired by Emily Husain. \nFollowing a short presentation by each speaker\, our panel will answer your questions\, which you can submit during the seminar or in advance by email. \nThe Unbuyable bill\, officially the Prostitution\, Offences and Support (Scotland) Bill\, reflects the Nordic Model approach to prostitution\, first introduced in Sweden in 1999. Here selling of sex by individual women is decriminalised\, but the buying of sexual services becomes a criminal offence. Crucially\, the Unbuyable bill also provides extensive support services for those wishing to exit prostitution and will clear any previous convictions a woman may have for soliciting. \nUnfortunately\, there are many myths around the Nordic model\, often circulated by organisations purporting to act in the best interests of sex workers. Some of these take the form of bad faith arguments\, others rely on falsifiable data\, while others still infantilise men or romanticise what is in reality a dangerous and unromantic activity. \nWhatever your views on the Unbuyable bill\, please join us for what will be an interesting and informative webinar. \nThe webinar is free\, but you need to register in advance. \nWebinar Details\nThis webinar will be hosted in Zoom and is expected to last about 90 minutes. We will email registered attendees shortly before the event with details of how to join. If you can’t see the email\, please check your spam folders. \nQuestions\nThere will be an option to submit questions during the event\, but you are welcome to email in advance any questions you would like our panellists to consider. Please put ‘Webinar Question’ in the subject line and email it to info@nordicmodelnow.org. Time constraints mean\, however\, that we will be limited in how many questions we can address. \nThis is a mixed event\nThis event is open to everyone. The event will include discussion of some difficult issues\, including male violence to women and children. We ask everyone\, but particularly men\, to be mindful of this and how members of the audience may find this triggering because it resonates with their own experiences of male violence. We ask everyone to be open and respectful. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/why-ash-regans-unbuyable-bill-is-right-for-scotland-tickets-1972612307513
