Thursday 5.30 - 7.30
Talks on Colombia and Africa by recently returned human rights and development workers, including a critique of 'Make Poverty History'. Followed by films.
Friday 5.30 - 7.30
Films on globalisation, including that funny 'Lord of the Rings' spoof and the animated story of the Peanut.
The order of these films and talks is subject to change, but the venue remains the Union Society, Newcastle University.
Local people will also be talking about their plans for the Gleneagles G8 summit.
