In a concise and thought-provoking speech followed by questions and
discussion wth the 33 participants he underlined the need for measures
to reduce inequality and avoid the perils of climate disruption if
world development was going to take place effectively.

Growing Change film night
Over forty people enjoyed the film about the Venezuelan food revolution in the salubrious surroundings of the Delius centre. The home made cake and the wide ranging discussion also contributed to a stimulating evening; with (of course) the opportunity for all those present to take immediate action via WDM’s latest campaign!
WDM Film Night
(Click on picture for bigger version)
Doing anything on October 18th? No? Then head on over to Delius Arts and Cultural Centre (postcode BD7 1AA) for a hand-picked film screening. We haven’t decided which film to show yet, but I can exclusively reveal it’s going to be a) about or related to WDM campaigns, and b) fascinating. Crucially, it’s free!
After the film, there’ll be opportunities for finding out more and getting involved.
If you can’t make the film, don’t miss Benny Dembitzer speaking at the Delius Centre on 15th November.
Update: We’ve now decided the film will be “Growing Change”: a film about Venezuela’s food revolution. Here’s a trailer to pique your interest.
