Our plans for 2023 and beyond

A lot has changed since Sheffield Transformed was founded in the summer of 2019. United in support of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party and inspired by The World Transformed, we set up our group in the hopes of fostering political education in Sheffield through discussion, debate, arts, and culture.

Despite the dramatic political changes since our inception, we remain united in our socialist politics and passion for political education. We’re a group of socialists keen to run events where people can come together to discuss radical political ideas, enjoy arts and culture, and build a movement in a safe environment. Our ambition is to create spaces that help us explore how big political ideas can inform our activism at a local level. We’re proud to be inclusive and intersectional, aiming to elevate the voices of communities impacted by systems of oppression including racism, homophobia and transphobia, ableism, sexism and classism.

Over the next two years, we want to build on the events we’ve held so far. In 2023, we’re aiming to deliver at least two small-scale events between Spring and Autumn, as well as building up our networks and community presence. From October 2023, we will begin organising a larger scale event or ‘festival’ to take place in Spring 2024. Please do get in touch if you’d like to join our organising team.
