Training weekend for Calais Migrant Solidarity (CMS).

London Action Resource Centre (LARC)
10th and 11th November



Are you thinking of going to Calais this year?



Going to Calais can be a daunting process and we want to ensure people
have all the information they need to prepare themselves for time there.

Often people come to Calais and feel unsure how to be effective during
their time. This weekend will be an opportunity to explore some of the
aspects of CMS, look at how people can get involved in ongoing
practical solidarity and discuss new ideas for the future of CMS.

It is important that whilst in Calais the information we share with 'sans
papiers' is up-to-date. We feel it is very important to get informed about
the current asylum process in the UK to avoid the spread of
misinformation. This will be a chance to learn about the process of asylum
and look at ways we can share our knowledge.

It will also be a chance to link up with others involved in the CMS/no
borders network and hear about different groups’ projects. A space to
share ideas, speak to people who have spent time there and a great
opportunity for sharing skills.

We want to emphasise that the weekend is open for all, including people
who have or have not been to Calais before.

Workshops and discussions to include:
- UK asylum process
- Detainee support
- Legal info
- Monitoring police activity
- Squatting/housing
- Ongoing CMS projects
- Ideas for future practical solidarity
- Trauma support
and more...
