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.

🇪🇺 What a weekend! at New European Bauhaus was an incredible experience that inspired many deep conversations!

Despite typical rainy Brussles weather we set up our talk show just outside the Art & History Museum for two days worth of converstions in English, French and German.

We welcomed Festival attendees and passers by from around the world including Chile, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Czechia, Greece, Kazakhstan… including two couples on their first dates!! ❤️

We discussed unconditional love, feelings that monuments evoke in us, what is the European identity, teachers as facilitators being the future of education, messy solutions to sustainability issues, children’s dreams, customer rights vs citizen rights, all facets of violence, the first date chopstick test… to name just a few.

Thank you to for taking a chance on and to all the participants including old and new friends who joined us on the journey.

Big love to our talented crew Mikey Weinkove Margot Przymierska Héléna Bissada Bloch Timna.k Bárbara Jrk ❤️🇪🇺

See you again soon, Europe!

Yes, it’s a talk show but the real point of is listening to others ✨👂🏼 When we listen - we can better understand each other and appreciate different perspectives we can bring into the conversation.

The People Speak and for years have been collaborating with architects, urban planners, local authorities, sustainability experts, facilitating place-based conversations between diverse communities within architectural regeneration contexts, including housing estate futures, neighbourhood planning, and public space design across the UK and Europe.

We are excited about joining New European Bauhaus Festival on 12 and 13 June to find out what YOUR views are on the democratic engagement, affordable housing and everything in between.

Happy international children’s day! Wishing you many office days like this one 🤩

Last week The People Speak team was embracing the party vibes at the SEND event at The Source.

We wanted to hear what young people had to say about access and opportunities in the area - all through the means of party games.

From karaoke to spin the bottle style storytelling and pass the parcel - everyone had a great time!

❤️ Help us fundraise for the new studio fit-out! ❤️

We will continue operating from Aberfeldy Street, only a few yards down the road. However, the new space needs a fair bit of work to make it as cozy, practical, and safe as possible.

It’s always been our priority to keep our events and workshops free for everyone. Over the years we have heard some beautiful feedback from those who benefited from taking part. Thank you - you keep us motivated!

Now, we’ve launched a Crowdfunder campaign to help us improve our new space and continue our work.

Please consider donating and leaving us a comment on Crowdfunder. No matter how small, we appreciate it all ♥️

Workshop - Creative Communication using Talkaoke

Talkaoke is a pop-up talk show unlike anything else – a glowing round table, a host in the middle, and you driving the conversation. No agenda. No script. It’s up to you to decide on the direction of the chat. Grab the mic and take the conversation somewhere nobody expected. It can get funny, philosophical, political, surreal or all of the above. Every voice matters. Every idea is welcome.

On the day 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. It’s up to you.

🫱🏻‍🫲🏾Jak sobie radzić z polaryzacją w kreatywny sposób? Już jutro Talkaoke nasz spontaniczny talk show ląduje w Poznaniu z warsztatami 📆 Środa 20 maja🇵🇱 w Galeria Miejska Arsenał

Od 30 lat nasz kolektyw artystyczny The People Speak zaprasza do Talkaoke ludzi o różnych poglądach, w różnych miejscach w Wielkiej Brytanii i Europie.

🎤“Czy Talkaoke to debata?”

Nie. To wydarzenie artystyczne. Elementy debaty mogą sie pojawić zwłaszcza, gdy uczestnicy nie zgadzają się ze sobą. Jednak celem jest stworzenie konstruktywnego i kreatywnego dialogu, w którym jako kolektyw podejmujemy decyzje, o kierunku rozmowy i dbamy o jej ton.

Wspólnie wchodzimy w stan ‘kreatywnego flow’ gdzie nowe pomysły mogą się narodzić. nie tylko nasze ugruntowane opinie.

W Talkaoke nikt nie jest ‘cancel-owany’ za kontorwersyjne opinie – docieramy do ich sedna wspólnie.

🇵🇱🇬🇧po polsku i po angielsku

Talkaoke to spontaniczny talk-show, jakiego jeszcze nie widzieliście – lśniący, okrągły stół, prowadzący w samym środku i Ty u sterów rozmowy. Bez narzuconych tematów. Bez scenariusza. To od Ciebie zależy, w jakim kierunku potoczy się dyskusja. Chwyć za mikrofon i skieruj rozmowę na tory, których nikt się nie spodziewał. Może być zabawnie, filozoficznie, politycznie, surrealistycznie lub wszystko naraz. Każdy głos ma znaczenie. Każdy pomysł jest mile widziany.

W świecie pełnym polaryzacji tworzymy przestrzeń, w której różnice zdań jest zaproszeniem do wspólnej podróży.

Po prostu przyjdź. Rozmowa zajmie się resztą.

🧝‍♀️💁🏽‍♂️👩🏼‍🎤Pierwszy raz w Polsce Warsztat Kreatawnej Komunikacji przy użyciu 🇵🇱 First time in Poland Creative Communication Woroshop using Talkaoke 🇬🇧

📆 Wednesday / Środa 20.05
⏰ 12:00-14:00
📍Galeria Miejska Arsenał, Poznań

🇬🇧WHAT WILL WE COVER
It all starts with Talkaoke, our iconic talk show, created in 1997. A round, glowing table, a host in the centre, and you decide what we talk about.

We believe conversation is an art form and that the most interesting things happen precisely where different perspectives meet.

✅ Tools for facilitating group conversations in a creative way
✅ Confidence in speaking and the ability to truly hear others
✅ Ways to handle difficult topics without unnecessary tension
✅ Techniques for finding what connects us, even when almost everything seems to divide us

WHO IS IT FOR
Do you work in culture, in a community, in education? Or maybe you’re simply wondering how to talk to someone who thinks completely differently from you? Everyone is welcome.

_______________________________

🇵🇱 CO BĘDZIE NA WARSZTACIE
Wszystko zaczyna się od Talkaoke – naszego kultowego talk show, który powstał w 1997 roku. Okrągły, podświetlony stół, prowadzący w centrum i Ty decydujesz, o czym mówimy. Wierzymy, że rozmowa to sztuka i że najciekawsze rzeczy dzieją się właśnie tam, gdzie spotykają się różne perspektywy.

✅ Narzędzia do prowadzenia rozmów grupowych w kreatywny sposób
✅ Pewność siebie w mówieniu i umiejętność naprawdę słyszenia innych
✅ Sposoby na trudne tematy bez zbędnych napięć
✅ Techniki szukania tego, co nas łączy, nawet gdy dzieli nas niemal wszystko

DLA KOGO JEST WARSZTAT
Pracujesz w kulturze, w społeczności, w edukacji? A może po prostu zastanawiasz się, jak rozmawiać z kimś, kto myśli zupełnie inaczej niż Ty? Zapraszamy wszystkich.
