Own personal experience, attending SSF Launch, Royal Society for the Blind, after PM, on a Saturday. Arrival: 3pm, when speakers like Hilary had already spoken, and workshops such as poetry workshop, was already over ... but... it was great! one of the most encouraging experiences had in a long time! (View from Spanish woman)
At reception counter, we were most kindly ushered in by young blonde citizen, who explained to us where Indymedia experts and debate groups were located. On walls, free blank paper, already filled in on many places, with questions, answers, dreams to become true, list of events arranged by month, even markers provided (no need to look for pen). Coffee was delicious, and snacks looked delicious too. Lots of leaflets, one issue of Red Pepper remaining, took it back home and have been reading it with a purpose to forward to Spanish colleague... and yes, down to filmroom, where a young woman from London informed us on reality of the situation for campaigners against war, don't know if this was a workshop or not, next room there was a workshop and lots of laughter indeed. Continúo en español: aunque el tema tratado no daba para muchas risas, también nosotros reímos, la presentación fue divertida, ocurrente y sobre todo, poca solemnidad (se agradece). Después, a las 4.30, se empezaron a crear (o se reiniciaron) otros grupos de debate: mi acompañante y yo misma nos apuntamos a uno y en eso quedamos, en seguir reuniéndonos para crear algo firme con nuestras palabras y nuestras ideas. Me sorprendió agradablemente la no jerarquización de los talleres y futuras actividades: realmente somos los individuos los que hacemos y deshacemos.
What I liked most: non hierarchization of forum and group discussions.
Sorry for any spelling mistakes and the like. Great, courageous people! Thanks a lot.
