People in burngreave have a lot of knowledge about regeneration and issues that affect the area. They are very involved in what happens in the area and they have lots of experience but there’s often a lot of pressure to make things happen.
Local resident, John Vincent, is piloting the Burngreave Academy in June, with a series of seminars where residents can reflect on what they know and have experienced in Burngreave. The seminars will be at Burngreave Ashram Studio, Hallcar Street.
The first will be Women’s Issues on Tuesday 14th June, 7.30pm.
The second – Regeneration Issues on Tuesday 21st June, 7.30pm with Julian Dobson, editor of the regeneration magazine New Start.
And finally Faiths and Community on Tuesday 28th June, 7.30pm.
John hopes the Burngreave Academy can be the start of higher education based in Burngreave with involvement from universities.
