• How can a new gen­er­a­tion of social cen­tres learn from the suc­cess­es and fail­ures of estab­lished ones? What are the ways in which we can best face up to the chal­lenges?

• How can we sus­tain ener­gy and dynamism? Can we stop the dai­ly grind of actu­al­ly run­ning a social cen­tre from eclips­ing the pol­i­tics and pas­sion behind it

• Is there a way in which we can cap­i­talise on the cur­rent wide­spread dis­af­fec­tion with main­stream pol­i­tics? What is the role of social cen­tres in a time of cri­sis?

• What is the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion with your social cen­tre? What’s going right, what’s going wrong, and what sup­port do you need?
