Day of Democracy at Beeston library

Inspire is participating in the Urban X Change Home Project linking our library and adult education services with those of twin library Gutersloh in Germany. The project offers nine German Adult Education Centres and their counterparts in Great Britain, Ukraine and the USA the opportunity to carry out cross-border cultural and educational activities in close cooperation with their respective city administration and local civil society. 

Following a successful Day and Night of Libraries event held between Beeston and Gutersloh libraries on the 17th March 2023 and two exchange visits, the project comes to an end with a Day of Democracy to be held between Beeston Library and the Gutersloh Adult Education Centre on Friday 15th September 2023.

The FREE celebration kicks off at Beeston Library at 2pm. There will be opportunities to link civil society* groups online during the day, with the Cost of living crisis and Anti-poverty work (2pm-2.30pm), Intercultural understanding (2.30pm-3pm), Inclusion Workshop (3pm-3.30pm) Mental Health and Wellbeing (3.30pm-4pm), LGBTQ+ and gender equality (4pm-4.30pm) and Urban Spaces (4.30pm-5pm).

Food and bar will be available at 5pm and there will be a booked poet Poetry Slam led by Nottingham based  World Jam between 5.30pm and 6.30pm. Following that our German partners are going to stream some live music to enjoy.
