Wed 20 Jun 2018, 6-9pm, Tingas Tinsley, Siemens Close, Tinsley S9 1UN
In an age where social media is more popular than the pub, church, temple or mosque for social interaction, how and where do you meet your neighbours? Do we want to know our neighbours? What does your new neighbour need to know? What does it take to be a good neighbour? And is it your role to tell them about your neighbourhood? A panel will be exploring these complex topics, featuring local councillors and members of the community with lived experience.
A free event, part of Festival of Debate 2018.

They invite local people, people who have experience of festivals and people who have never been involved before. A free, fun pre-festival afternoon of drop-in activities and cake! You can help to make some festival decorations, eat scrummy cake and hear some of the music that will be performing on the day. There is even a Sharrow quiz.
To give something back to the festival you can add your name to the list of volunteers (they need 30 people) and talk through what job you might enjoy most.
