Every year 1 in 30 children in the UK experience a significant bereavement each year. We cannot prevent this from happening so we need to feel able to face it with them and find tools to help us (including books!). In this workshop, Liz - Outside the Box – Everyday Stories of Death, Bereavement and Life is joined by Maxine Parsons, who worked for many years with bereaved children and young people for SeeSaw.

Come and join us for a book that's sure to make a splash – Caper favourite Nell Frizzell returns with her new book about the the Ladies’ Pond on Hampstead Heath.

Humanity faces an imminent choice: continue with a system built on extraction and endless growth, or reimagine civilization itself. Leading thinker Jeremy Lent offers that reimagination: an ecocivilization, grounded in proven design principles of ecosystems and in humankind's evolved inclination toward justice, mutuality, and dignity.
