The Syrian struggle to topple the regime and the brutal response by government forces have profoundly affected the political landscape of the Arab world and the regional balance of power in the wider Middle East. Professor Jens Hanssen will briefly introduce and then moderate a critical conversation with audience participation to explore the implications of the Syrian uprising for Arab solidarity and to the future of Palestinian resistance.

Catalyst Centre is pleased to announce that Kellie Scanlan and Denise Hampden will be hosting the second of three walking conversations on labour history in Toronto. Kellie has extensive labour, union and popular education experience. Denise brings years of equity work practice, with women, Aboriginal workers, and workers of colour.

This summer Catalyst Centre invites you to look at our city’s labour history and explore the relationship between popular education, work and community organizing and activism.

This spring Catalyst Centre is exploring activism. Our third conversation of the season focuses on living our activism. All you need to do is show up ready to share, listen and learn.

Join us for a World Café!

The World Café format is a creative interactive way to not only share the wisdom that each of us has to contribute, but also create a space for new ideas to emerge. Bring your favourite cause, activity, and / or fellow activist and be a part of putting action back into activism.
