Off The Record: Open Conversations in Norwich

🐦‍🔥 Welcome to Off The Record — an intellectual salon in Norwich

|| Do you ever wish there was a space to talk about the big issues — politics, society, culture, || current events — openly and respectfully, without fear of being judged or shut down?

"Off The Record" is a friendly, non-partisan group where people can come together to explore different ideas, share perspectives, and connect over meaningful conversations.

👉 Join us on various platforms 🔗

We host regular meetups featuring:

• Guest speakers on politics, activism, and current affairs
• Open discussions on social and cultural topics
• Opportunities to meet like-minded people and build local community

Whether you’re passionate about a cause, curious about other viewpoints, or simply looking to have thoughtful conversations with interesting people, you’re welcome here.

Our values:

• Freedom of speech
• Respectful dialogue (this can be harder than it seems when faced with an opinion that is different to one's own)
• Curiosity
• Open-mindedness
• Equality & Inclusivity — everyone has a voice and a place at the table regardless of their views, opinions, or background.

It's ok to:

• Disagree — and agree to disagree — as long as it’s done respectfully
• Ask difficult or "unpopular" questions
• Question and challenge opinions

You do not:

• Need to be an expert on any of the topics.
• Have to engage, you can simply come to listen

What is "required":

• Being curious & open-minded
• Being open to a variety of thoughts and opinions
• Emotions are allowed, but remember that you are responsible for your actions and behaviour.
