Brent Cross sparks discussion, can education cure the ills of society?


Brent Cross sparks discussion:
Can education cure the ills of society?

Brent Cross residents are invited to a unique event at the conference room of Brent Cross shopping centre - The Coffeehouse Challenge - a nationwide initiative that brings people together to discuss the issues that matter to them, exchange ideas and change things in their local area.

The event will take place on Sunday 1st July at Brent Cross Shopping Centre Conference room, Hendon, London, NW4 3FP, where anyone is invited to drop in, grab a complimentary cup of Starbucks coffee and discuss the topics of education and society.
Organised by David Sassoon, FRSA, the discussion - 'Can education cure the ills of society?' - is set to spark an insightful and topical debate, encouraging local people to think about whether educational opportunities are key to improving society.
David said: "Education is often blamed for causing the ills of society. However, those in the field consider that many of society's ills have been and/or are being addressed by education. This Coffeehouse Challenge discussion is a great opportunity for people to make contributions to this debate and come up with practical ways to approach issues in future."
