Since 2008, Opus has run projects like Now Then Magazine, Wordlife and Festival of Debate – they connect us to each other and to music, arts, culture, ideas, action and conversations that will make change.

And more than anything, that’s what we’re here for: to make it easier to contribute to change for the better – and to have fun doing it.
