The OU PIPS Gaggle.

As part of OU PIPS Week, we’re hosting an evening dedicated to reflecting on the talks, sessions, and insights we’ve heard so far. This will be a relaxed space to share highlights, discuss interesting points raised by the speakers, and hear what others have taken away from the week. Whether you’ve attended every event or just dipped into a few, everyone is welcome to join the conversation.

We’re calling this session the OU PIPS Gaggle. In Westminster, a gaggle is the informal name for a press gathering where journalists meet to exchange questions and reflections from politicians or government officials. Inspired by that idea, our Gaggle is a chance for members to come together, chat openly, and compare notes on everything happening throughout PIPS Week. Bring your thoughts, your curiosity, and maybe even a cup of tea—let’s debrief together.
