Got a problem? Take it along to this problem-solving booth in Shoreditch and talk about it. Designed to bring people together and help the community, these booths have been springing up across London over the last 18 months.
How they work is that one person is the ‘helper’ and the other the ‘helped’ and then they swap around. The idea being that we’re all capable of being good helpers to others even when we have our own problems.
It’s a nifty idea, not least because a stranger’s perspective on a problem is often exactly what we need.
Sat 24th Feb, 10am – 4pm: Problem solving booths
The Book Club, 106 Leonard St, EC2A 4RH
