Culture on the Offensive (COTO) is a new and emerging Leicester based Social Enterprise. It is a partnership between Philosopher Dr Greg Scorzo and creative director Lizzie Soden. We run 'The Art of Thinking' events and courses. These are fun, social, thought provoking ‘talk and discussion’ events. Centred around a variety of topics and themes, we are happy to work in partnership with other organisations and/or venues. Whether in social or organisational settings, the main purpose is to get the audience to engage and open their minds to different ways of seeing things. For evening social events we can incorporate visuals and other performances, like spoken word and music, creating a beatnik cafe environment. We were motivated by the polarised and often black and white nature of public discussion and debate, mostly due to the emergence of social media.
We believe it is important to understand other people's points of view, and think with empathy, clarity and courage.
