House of the Commons: Creative solutions to the housing crisis
Friday 10th October 2014 - 10:00am-8:00pmContact: info@houseofthecommons.org
House of the Commons is a four day event organised by citizens, activists and housing professionals concerned with the UK housing crisis, specifically focusing on Oxford, but with a UK outlook. The event will be held in multiple venues across Oxford, 9-12th October, and there will be an exciting lineup of speakers, workshops and skill-shares examining the current context and drivers of the crisis with the aim to explore creative solutions to these problems.
House of the Commons is intended to be participatory with a focus on self-organisation for practical action at many levels and is open to all people wanting to find out more about our current housing situation and where we could go next. It is timed to offer a counter-narrative to, and promote action against, MIPIM UK, the 1st UK property trade show gathering all professionals looking to close deals in the UK property market, which is taking place the following week. There will be a diverse range of local food and entertainment across the four days so please come along and join in the discussion.
