Free thinkers from the worlds of art, activism, comedy and academia will take the stage at an ‘alternative TED talks’ in aid of some of London’s most socially excluded people.

Organised by SHP, the charity for homeless and vulnerable people in London, the Outsider Lectures will challenge accepted thinking on a range of subjects, from drug addiction and mental health to poverty and the housing crisis.

A line-up of speakers from eclectic backgrounds will present talks that explore, challenge and interrogate the idea of ‘the outsider’, drawing on their expertise and sharing their personal experiences with the audience.

Like the TED talks on which they are based, the Outsider Lectures will be filmed and made available to stream online. In addition to raising money for homeless and vulnerable people, the event will provide a platform from which to air fresh ideas and debate issues from unusual perspectives.

Date: Wednesday 9th of September
Time: 19.00 – 23.30
Venue: Union chapel bar, Islington, N1 2UN

Tickets are £15 in advance. All proceeds will go to SHP to support London’s most vulnerable people.
