Parliament of the Future

Participants will work for two days on new ways of engaging in constructive and imaginative dialogues without separating mind and body; trying to fabricate forms of empathy by dancing, techno, warming up the party and sharpening our critical thinking, all at the same time.

Aimed at all bodies and ideas!

‍Practical information

‍For Whom? For up to 40 young people aged between 14 and 17

Where? CTI Gym, The Mall, Clonmel

When? 30 June & 1 July 2022 - 10am to 1pm (these hours are flexible)

How? Through 2 dynamic sessions of 3 hours each where we dance, think and share together about issues that are relevant for the future of our society.

The last hour on the second day is open to a public audience - an open parliament session in which the ‘deputies’ dance the topic before speaking.
