CLIFFtalks

CLIFFtalks are Margate’s very own version of TEDtalks, thirteen-minute presentations that are short and engaging.

CLIFFtalks, formerly known as Cliftonville Classrooms, were held in at the Cliftonville Games 2019, and were run by GRASS volunteers. The CLIFFtalks marquee is where members of our community can share short, carefully prepared talks or stories that are ideas-focused, covering subjects that foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and, most importantly, provoke conversations relevant to our lives here in Thanet.

The talks covered topics that matter to the whole community including, environment, wellbeing & health, and innovation. CLIFFtalks had a wonderfully eclectic group of speakers talking about all manner of interesting topics and, best of all, the talks were totally FREE to enter!
