About this event

If you believe in equality, freedom, equity and justice then the Wild Ones Salon is for you because here we reimagine everything to change the narrative.

The last Wild Ones Salon of 2022 is on

  • Wed, 30th Nov, 7:15 to 10:15pm, Theme is: I choose to challenge urban planning/development

How does moving around your neighbourhood/Cork city centre affect you+your family?

How could it be better? Are you being left behind because of how the city/neighbourhoods are designed now?

How do you reimagine these spaces?

Come along for a thought provoking evening. Limited spaces - so book now, donate €5 at the door.

Soap-boxers are:

  • Dr. Shirley Gallagher, sustainability thinker & chairperson of Cork Environmental Forum
  • Bridget Forster, ex-planning barrister (UK) & retired UN Peacekeeper
  • Michelle Dellea, architect & poet
  • Louise Cotter, architect
  • Anna Hill, innovator + funder of River Cycleway Europe

What to expect at Wild Ones Salon?

When you enter Maureen's you will immediately be in a cozy setting. There will be tea on arrival. After you settle down, we'll introduce the theme to you.

You'll hear from a few people who're getting up on the 'soap box'. Following this, we'll have a couple of rounds of discussion, in pairs or threes, about the theme.

There will be quiet time for reflection.

We'll close with an open round. And we'll definitely keep some time aside for gentle hugs before saying 'night night!

Note to Remember:

  • You'll receive emails with more information about the event & event reminders closer to the time - so please keep an eye on junk/spam/promotions/update tabs in your inbox & don't miss our updates.
