18th-20th February 2005, Glasgow
Fri 19.00 - Sun 17.00
The G8, a meeting of the eight most influential industrial countries, will take place in Scotland next year. It will be a focus for protest from people opposing war, the destruction of our environment, the abuse of human and animal rights and capitalism. Training is key for effective action - it's one of the things that made the Seattle protests work. This workshop is aimed at people with experience in direct action or civil disobedience willing to organise and run direct action workshops in their own communities and networks to stimulate effective action at the G8!
The Direct Action Trainers workshop will focus on learning by doing.
We'll cover:
How to plan and run your own direct action workshops
How people learn
What makes an interesting and participative workshop
Direct action training tools
Skills for facilitation and a chance to practise them
A space to share ideas and skills with other activists
Discussing how we can support each other in giving direct action workshops before and at the G8 summit
You'll get a chance to learn and try out exercises for the following:
Practising action techniques
Building groups and support systems (such as affinity groups and street teams)
Exploring concepts of violence and nonviolence
Understanding personal limits and needs on an action
Using your bodies (and equipment) to make protests last longer
Understanding legal rights
Making decisions quickly and democratically on an action
Dealing with aggression and confrontation on actions
Staying safe
Basic accomodation will be arranged and vegan food provided in return for a small donation. The workshops themselves are free!
You must book by either: info[at]skillsharing.org.uk or by phone 0845-330 7583
