ABOUT THE PN SUMMER CAMP

Peace News Summer Camp is an inclusive, democratically-run five-day experience-in-miniature of the kind of world we are trying to bring about. Bring your own contribution to a space that bridges the usual divisions in our movements and our society, where we pay as much attention to how we bring about change as to the changes that are so desperately needed. This year, feminism joins our standing themes of peace and justice.

We will be learning from other movements, struggling with challenging issues, creating greater cohesion in a segmented peace movement and debating nonviolence. Workshops will range from theoretical discussions to practical planning for actions later in the year. There will be over fifty years of activist experience at the camp, along with fresh faces.

Fed by local organic fruit and veg (lovingly cooked by the wonderful Veggies of Nottingham), we’re camping in a family-friendly and renewably-powered way from 23-27 July near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, to make the world a better place.

THEMES FOR THIS YEAR'S CAMP

> FEMINISM AND PEACE
Gender perspectives on violence, nonviolence and activism

> BUILDING OUR SKILLS, SHARING OUR SKILLS
Nonviolent direct action training, consensus decision making, building a strategy, working in affinity groups, public speaking skills, radical music and more.

> CHALLENGING THE MILITARY
Let's get the military out of our lives and out of other peoples' countries

> ENGAGING WITH OTHER MOVEMENTS AND STRUGGLES
What can we learn from other like-minded campaigns such as radical climate activism, animal rights, student activism and European peace campaigns

> RADICALISING OUR LIVES
Food, education, power production and more

> DEBATING NONVIOLENCE
How can we take effective action?

WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT LAST YEAR'S PN SUMMER CAMP

Some quotes from last year's campers:

“The fascinating and engaging discussions, debates and conversations that seemed to be taking place all the time all over the camp. Fantastic networking amongst groups and individuals.”

“Camaraderie, challenge, ideas, stimulation, re-energising, contacts, space for input and importing information, wood collecting, tree climbing, tripod, all ages, relaxed feeling, lovely food, fire.”

“The spirit of the occasion. Also the chance to discuss in depth issues we have been campaigning for/support and of course meeting folk and getting to learn new ideas and about ‘them’ as people.”

“Discussions, relationships, people, depth of thought. LOVED IT!”
