Schedule/Update for Calais Migrant Solidarity (CMS) training

Calais training | 26.10.2012 10:04 | Cambridge

Schedule for Calais Migrant Solidarity (CMS) training weekend,
10th & 11th November, London Action Resource Centre.

This weekend will be an opportunity to explore some of the aspects of Calais Migrant Solidarity, look at how people can get involved in ongoing practical solidarity, share information about expectations in Calais and discuss new ideas for future projects.

The Saturday will be focused around the ‘daily life’ in Calais and the Sunday will move forward to look at the UK process of asylum, detention, deportation and tools of resistance. This will be a chance to link up with others involved in the CMS/no borders network and hear about different groups’ projects around the country. It will be a space to share ideas, speak to people who have spent time there and a great opportunity to share skills.

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