Oxford is full of diversity; town and gown, rich and poor, black, white, brown, asian, african, student, homeless, imigrant, student, native

how social a place is it?
there was talk of an Oxford social forum
how inclussive would this be?

i arrived here in september to study in brookes and have found it hard to mix.

there is loads going on but groups dont seem to mix as much as they could. the war actually brought many groups together for the first time but i wonder if they are still communicating, or is there more groups that could get involved

was an earlier forum that tried to get an oxford social forum up and running
it seems it has faded??

i really feel that there is great potential here in oxford, for groups to come together, communicate together and socialize more. and with that DO something profoundly positive in this world- you can do a lot if you try

i feel its important to be as inclussive as possible, to make things known to the public, invite them to participate and let them get involved

im involved with the FUSPEY network that is based in brookes
it would be good if different groups and individualss added their views to this discussion

how SOCIAL are we?
