1) Creative action as a means of transnational activism
i.e. can samba allow us to cross borders and by-pass cultural/social differences between activists and enable affinity?
2) “Globalisation” of radical samba – Are activists in other areas interested/inspired by samba and tactical frivolity
3) General comments on other workshops on the Caravan.
The thoughts and experiences will be also shared and discussed at an Open Workshop in July 06 (venue to be announced later) aimed to promote samba & activism.
