A London-based events organisation is aiming to tackle generational misinformation and a decline in real-world interaction by hosting fun, social and informative lectures in unorthodox settings.
Pints of Knowledge brings together authors, academics and industry professionals to deliver talks in pubs across London, creating an alternative learning experience outside of traditional classrooms and lecture halls.
The informal setting encourages a relaxed evening where attendees can socialise, enjoy a drink and learn something new, allowing ideas and conversations to flow more freely than in conventional educational environments.
At a time when many people are setting New Year’s resolutions to spend less time online, and as social media becomes increasingly saturated with self-proclaimed experts and misinformation, events like Pints for Knowledge offer a chance to learn directly from credible voices in a real-world setting.
With a different lecture taking place each week and covering a wide range of topics, Pints of Knowledge provides an option for those looking for something different to do in London, combining education, socialising and community, away from a phone screen.
