SAY Café a talking series
There is a popular saying that says ‘small minds discuss people and great minds discuss issues’, we like to think we are in the latter group. The SAY website was created to foster informed discussion on issues that matter in our everyday lives. Since its launch in 2014 SAY has gone through some changes and challenges. We are still trying to find effective ways to meet our mission of allowing people to ‘know their rights, claim their rights and protect their rights’.
The SAY Café is a talking series similar to the popular ‘TED Talks’ where a single speaker talks about a chosen topic from their individual perspective. The idea is to cover a topic from a personal perspective, in an informal setting that encourages audience participation. While talks may cover an established idea, they will present a compelling new viewpoint that challenges beliefs and perceptions.
The first SAY Cafe was held in May 2015 under the theme access to health care for persons living with disability. you can read more about the event and the talk on the related blog. The second SAY Cafe was held in October 2015 under the theme citizen engagement, read the blog and watch the video.
