RISC Events
RISC organises a variety of events and exhibitions on global issues to increase public understanding of the economic, political social and environmental forces, which shape all our lives.
RISC creates a platform of speakers from the Majority World (Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America). We organise workshops, feasts, films and meetings that inform people about how we can take action to create a more just, equal and sustainable word.
