The JANUARY RESHUFFLE at the PEARCE INSTITUTE Govan on january the 31st 2009 12 - 6pm
"We hope to encourage through a mixture of enjoyment and learning
that there is a life beyond television in our community. We only have to
“reshuffle” our priorities."
The Reshuffle, which has been running each January for the last three years
is a day event which fills the community centre with activities, talks and
workshops in a variety of community themes - The reshuffle is completely
run by volunteers and good-will and is in receipt of no funding. A major
emphasis is on attracting families and all ages.
What we offer is an opportunity for folk to try out a few ideas and experiences
that are different from the telly. The last Reshuffle dealt with Common
Good issues and green space, as well as lots of things for kids to do -
from science activities like experimenting with different materials, soldering
and building small electronic circuits. The Galgael boat builders were at
