The Big Saturday School - Planet Action 💥

About The Big Saturday School (TBSS)

Join us at The Big Saturday School (TBSS), powered by YouthTheGap, as we reshape the traditional Saturday school model to encourage critical thinking and action-taking! 🌍✨

At TBSS, community empowerment is at the heart of our mission. We aim to facilitate genuine discussions that uncover inequalities in our society and work towards creating long-term social change. 📣

This isn’t just another corporate conference — we envision a unique educational experience, promoting the ideas and perspectives that can make a difference, no matter how big or small. 🤝

Prepare for a day filled with engaging 20-minute, bite-size talks featuring 4 acts and 12 speakers, all centered around a common theme. In this participatory setting, you won't just be an observer; you'll be a collaborator in redefining education! 🎓💡

Through storytelling, we'll break down barriers to education and create accessible pathways that teach the things schools often overlook.

Location: We are taking over the Kurdish Community Centre in North London to anchor our efforts in the local community — a space where everyone can thrive together! 🌱

Dare to conjure, confront, and collaborate!
