The People Speak

The People Speak Bringing people together to connect, be creative and make decisions in an open-ended and fun way.

The People Speak is a set of ideas, technologies and strategies we've developed for bringing people together to have conversations and discussions in an open-ended and fun way. We design events, architectures, systems and processes in which people are encouraged to express themselves, share ideas, flirt, and be as creative as they can.

Every voice matters. Every idea is welcome. You are welcome to join our glowing ‘doughnut of chat’ for 5 mins or longer, you can listen or take the mic and offer a new subject.

This is our third year bringing Talkaoke to Emma Cons Gardens, named for the Victorian social reformer who fought for affordable housing, education, and joyful, respectable entertainment for London’s working class - and who founded the Old Vic across the street.

This time, we’re time-travelling.

Part séance, part talk show, part local history tour. We will decipher messages from Emma Cons herself and explore their relevance today. Do wealthy people have a duty to help the working class? Why we need more women in the Government? Who is really in favour of abstinence? and many more...

Come as you are, leave in a bonnet
