Civic Conversation in the Cafe

You are welcome to come along to Common Grounds Cafe anytime between 4.00pm and 5.30pm on Tuesday 9th September to join in some civic conversation. This is an opportunity for people to meet in the informal context of a cafe to talk with each other about contemporary issues - e.g. the current refugee crisis, or the state of NI politics - issues that matter to them as citizens (of NI and the world!). There is no set menu. The course of the conversation is you to choose.

Common Grounds will be open for normal business, with tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks will on sale to those who wish to 'energise' their engagement in the conversation.

“.. a civilization is irrigated and sustained by its common interchange of ordinary intelligence”.

(Clive James, Cultural Amnesia, 2012)
