Brain Tea organizes different events and projects. Some events are
planned very quickly whereas some projects are led on the long-term.
The most immediate events are published on the
home page: film projections, Sri Lankan dinners and buffets, radio shows ...
Among the different projects led by the Brain Tea members, the main ones are the following :
- Natasha is studying future events revolving around cultural exchanges: art exhibitions, fashion shows, creative workshops ...
- Michel is studying the idea of "popular education". We will tell you more when the pre-study phase is over.
- Ashinsa is trying to achieve the first Brain Tea
project initiated in November 2008: conferences in Sri Lanka and book
publication. The main challenge is the lack of proper financing. But
fortunately, the system of videoconferencing should help and the
conferences are to take place in February 2010.
The conferences are on the following subjects:
- Colonization under a psychoanalytical
approach:
This topic is fundamental to analyze the
psychic
trauma and consequences of colonization and improve the
peoples’
cohesion in Sri Lanka for a common Identity.
- The different means of improvement of
critical thinking:
->Behind the factual learning of life, it
is fundamental to interrogate oneself on ideas, discourses, or
believes, so as to forge man into a less gullible and more responsible
being for his own Society.
- Ecological Production Methods that
enhance the value of ancient agricultural methods in Sri Lanka
->Favor ecological production methods in
Sri Lanka.
- Economical Systems in post-colonial
countries, the
Debt System, how and why those countries came up to this point, what
are the solutions?
->Find (easy and simple) solutions to the economical
problems in Sri Lanka
The conference text translations will be put to sale as a book, in Sri
Lanka.
