Tue 25 Oct 2016

£5.00
Screening Room
South Wing

An interative talk, led by The School of Life faculty member John-Paul Flintoff examining the psychological, cultural and social resistances we may encounter as we look to make a change.

John-Paul Flintoff offers a powerful reminder that through the generations, society has been transformed by the actions of individuals who understood that if they didn’t like something, they could change it.

Combining fresh new insights from history, politics and modern culture, this interactive talk aims to provide inspiration, a healthy dose of realism, and the practical tools to make a realistic difference.

The author of 'How To Change The World', John-Paul has worked as a bin man, an executive PA, a scuba diver, a poet, a taxi driver, a tailor, a gardener, an ice-cream salesman, a hairdresser, an assistant undertaker, a bit-part player in pantomime, a waiter, an illustrator, a high-wire window cleaner, a photographer, a very amateur boxer, a karaoke singer, and a rat catcher - but writing comes first.
