Sonic Civil Alert events bring people together to listen, learn, make, question, share skills, and build connections around the issues that shape everyday life.
Our programme may include live radio broadcasts, DJ sessions, listening events, talks, workshops, community conversations, screenings, creative sessions, pop-up media projects, training, skill-sharing, and collaborations with local groups. Some events will be rooted in Inverclyde and the west of Scotland; others will connect local experience with wider international movements for social, ecological, and economic justice.
We are interested in events that make room for participation rather than passive consumption. That can mean a workshop where people learn to record an interview, a community garden broadcast, a discussion about housing or food justice, a music-led fundraiser, a media-literacy session, or an informal space where people exchange knowledge and meet others doing useful work.
Not every event needs to be polished, large, or institutionally approved. Small gatherings, first attempts, difficult conversations, and experimental formats can matter just as much as formal programmes.
This page shares upcoming dates, invitations, calls for contributors, opportunities to take part, and documentation from events that have already happened.
