Meet other people working at or interested in the intersection of tech and democracy. Sparkable and Build Up are organizing an in-person meetup.

​​This will be a facilitated in-person gathering with the purpose of getting to know each other and finding synergies. Everyone is welcome – feel free to forward to friends and colleagues!

Cleaners working at EY offices, represented by IWGB (Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain), are going on strike against the billion pound firm, demanding an end to EY’s proposed redundancies which would leave 37% of cleaners without a job.

Reform is on the rise and the evidence is clear a grassroots response is the best way to protect the progressive ecosystem and fight the far right, we must act now.

​​Join Campaign Lab at Newspeak House for a weekend all-day hackathon dedicated to creating tools and collecting data to help grassroots campaigners fight Reform.

​​If you can’t come along in person, you can join us on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82959644687?pwd=cG9BdEFha3dmNzVjcFd2RUFTWGVNZz09

Read the manifesto and concrete beliefs

This is our fortnightly discussion group established in the wake of the UK Supreme Court ruling and its consequences; we believe that at this time more than ever we should try to make a positive difference to our people.

At the event we
- exchange information and updates
- establish an informal network of personal connections
- set a direction of what Effective Transsexualism should look like

We hold this event in the classroom in Newspeak House; one of us is going to keep letting you in until 14:15, after that please message us!

Note: We’re aiming this event mostly at transgender people, however cisgender allies (especially if you have information/connections we could leverage!) are welcome too!

Come along to the seventh integral altruism meetup! This time we’re going to try running an antidebate!

​An antidebate is a process designed to foster collective inquiry and understanding rather than adversarial argument. It aims to counteract polarization by encouraging participants to engage with complexity, nuance, and empathy, moving beyond the binary nature of traditional debates.

​The exact topic of debate is yet to be decided, but it will be on the role of systems change in EA.

​Doors open from 4pm. The antidebate will start at 5, please arrive before then! At around 6:30-7 there’ll be time for hanging out & potluck.

​If you’d like to stick around for the potluck, please bring some food to contribute (doesn’t have to be fancy - just grabbing something from Tesco is fine too!). If possible please keep it vegan 🙏

​Tired of democracy feeling broken? Ready to explore the tools that could fix it?

​Join practitioners, technologists, and community builders for a day of collaborative problem-solving using Plurality - the emerging framework for technology that enhances collective intelligence rather than replacing it.

​What is Plurality? As outlined by Audrey Tang and Glen Weyl, Plurality seeks to identify ways in which collaborative technology and democracy can coexist to foster deeper levels of recognition, respect, and the development of infinite futures across social and cultural divides: www.plurality.net

​What’s an unconference? You shape the agenda. Bring your challenges, questions, and experiments. We’ll create sessions around what matters most to attendees - from digital governance tools to community decision-making, participatory budgeting to collective intelligence platforms: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/unconference

​This session is part of the Introduction to Political Technology course at Newspeak House, open to faculty, fellows, and fellowship candidates only.

A relaxed, collaborative space for fellows to work on their prototypes, share your latest progress, gather feedback, and swap insights with fellow makers.

​Bring your ideas, questions, and curiosity - no matter what stage your project is at. See you there!

​Curious about how Bluesky is different from other social network websites? Interested in building cool stuff using ATProto, the underlying technology powering the Bluesky social network? Want to learn how to use this cutting-edge decentralised platform to launch the next generation of online applications? You’ve come to the right place!

Maybe talks, maybe a workshop, save the date, details coming soon!

In place of our regular Second Renaissance London meetup, this time we’ll come together to watch Alexander Beiner’s new film ‘Leviathan’.

​“A documentary and immersive art piece, it’s about the breakdown of trust in society, and how we get it back. It will draw you into the roots of the Western mind, the polycrisis, tech, economics and myth to point to a new future.”

​Some of the key thinkers featured in the film - including Nora Bateson and John Vervaeke - also feature in our map of the Second Renaissance ecosystem, and Alexander Beiner himself is one of the co-founders of Rebel Wisdom (located on the central island).

​We’ll watch the film (which is 80 minutes long) and then have some structured discussions - before moving onto the pub!

​Second Renaissance is our name for a potential a new cultural paradigm of interconnectedness, wisdom and inner growth, and an evolving ecosystem of organisations working towards this new paradigm.

​​Who is it for: Anyone who is intrigued by the description of the film, or the idea of a second renaissance, and wants to learn more, get more involved and build connections with like-minded people.

This session is open to the public, however spaces are limited. Registration includes a suggested contribution towards Jethro’s time.

A workshop to get beginners coding with AI tools in an afternoon.

​By the end, you’ll be able to:

• Host your own website with access to a database and chat feature
• Analyse data and produce beautiful charts

​The workshop is led by Newspeak House Fellow Jethro Reeve. He started using AI to code in October 2023, building tools for campaignlab.uk. He’s now a full-time software developer at coefficient.ai.
