BYOB: Bring Your Own Brexit! (Covi Event)

BYOB: Bring Your Own Brexit!
Thursday 18th May, 4-7pm at Arnolfini, 16 Narrow Quay, Bristol, England BS1 4QA

Are you interested in Brexit, concerned in how it might affect you, and keen to discuss your own views and priorities?

From the impact of Brexit on every day practical concerns about jobs, travel, and public services, to broader social and economic issues such as the environment, human rights and international trade, Covi want to discuss the priorities that matter to you, regardless of the way you voted in the referendum or whether you voted at all.

Covi are hosting a series of workshops to engage with millennials across the UK as part of think tank Common Vision’s #BREXITWATCH project. These discussions will feed into research and analysis on what young people want to see from the Brexit negotiations, and presented to the Government and other politicians and decision makers, in the run-up to the June 2017 General Election and beyond.

The next event is in Bristol, and open to any young person aged 16 to 30(ish).

The event is free to attend (with free food!)
Register for a place online here and don’t forget to spread the word!

consider the JLD events excellent value for money.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a member of Bristol JLD committee. I was able to make valuable connections with some really engaging colleagues. Covid-19 lockdowns achieved overnight changes in the workplace. The chief beneficiaries are often people well established in their careers, rather than those at the start finding their feet. I am particularly proud the efforts we made to vocalise the concerns of junior lawyers during the early stages of the pandemic.

Your commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of children is truly inspiring. We've cherished every moment of the events we've shared, from the delightful BBQ gatherings to the glamorous ball nights. Your dedication and enthusiasm have not only made these occasions memorable but have also contributed to a remarkable achievement. The total amount of £7,000 is truly incredible, and it will undoubtedly make a significant difference in our mission. With this support, we can provide enriching camp experiences to a multitude of children, creating lasting memories and fostering personal growth.

It has been an absolute pleasure to partner with Bristol Junior Lawyers Division over the last 15 years. From sponsoring the Annual Charity Ball (which is always a sell-out) to running careers events for junior lawyers, it has been a privilege to support so many of your members over the years and we look forward to continuing this fantastic partnership for many more years to come.
