31 Oct - 1 Nov: UK Briefing / Training for the Gaza Freedom March

Peace News | 05.10.2009 22:16 | Palestine

To mark the first anniversary of Israel’s bloody 22-day assault on Gaza, hundreds of international activists will march nonviolently alongside the people of Gaza on 1 January 2010, breaching the illegal Israeli blockade (www.gazafreedommarch.org) .

A UK training / briefing event for people thinking of taking part will be taking place in Central London on 31 Oct and 1 Nov.

Trainers / briefers will include Jenny Linnell – an ISM activist who travelled to Gaza on the first Free Gaza boat in August 2008 and remained there during the Dec/Jan Israeli assault - and the excellent Seeds for Change (www.seedsforchange.org.uk) training co-op.

In addition to practical workshops on topics such as media-work, rapid decision-making in crisis situations etc…this will also be an opportunity to meet others who are thinking of taking part in the March – with the possibility of forming affinity groups for mutual support and to aid decision-making during the trip.

Crash-pad accommodation will be available on the Friday and Saturday evenings, and there will also be a film-screening (probably a documentary about Rachel Corrie) at 9pm on the Friday (30 October).

If you would like to attend then please contact  gazatraining@gmail.com or 0845 458 2564 for further details.

This training is organized by Peace News (www.peacenews.info) as way of supporting the March.
