LATIN AMERICAN FORUM PUBLIC MEETING

Kevin | 10.01.2006 16:46 | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements

Organising an event of workshops, speakers, food, music and film to celebrate the revolutionary social, economic and cultural changes being pursued by popular movements across Latin America.

THURSDAY THE 26th OF JANUARY, 7.30-9.30 PM

AT LA RUCA HEALTH FOOD SHOP/ CAFE, 89 GLOUCESTER ROAD, BRISTOL

We propose that a Latin American Forum should be held in the near future, taking place over one Saturday in Bristol. The idea would be a multi-faceted event allowing various trades unions, political groups, activists, cultural groups and human rights/ development/ ecological organisations to achieve a synthesis in diversity, and to draw inspiration from the forum's focus that allows us to better effect meaningful changes here in the UK.

We will begin the meeting by presenting everyone with all our proposals, research and results so far.

The objectives of the meeting on the 26th are:

1) to gain full feedback, and submit the proposals to a collective decision making process.

2) to fix the most realistic and mutually accommodating date for the event.

3) to discuss setting up the planning group, and assign tasks as required.

4) to gather ideas about speakers, workshops, films and musical performers.

We look forward to seeing you there.
