Belfast Grassroots Gathering workshop details

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday October 23, 2002 15:53author by Grassroots Gatheringauthor email grassrootsbelfast at yahoo dot comauthor phone 0044 775 959 8798 Report this post to the editors

Posted as a comment elsewhere but I think it has enough detail to be listed on its own

On Friday 25th, we kick off with a critical mass at the front of City Hall at 5.30, followed by a meeting about upcoming anti-war actions at 7pm in Giros, where people can register for accomodation.

Sat 26th and Sun 27th, we start at 11 am, and finish at 6 pm, with three rounds of three workshops each. This is followed by general partying. Food is available cheap from the Cafe, supervised play activities for kids is organised, etc. etc. Mon 28th is our Food Not Bombs launch, so there's a bit of action, too.

The list of workshops (not comprehensive) is:

Sat:
Direct Action against War
Collectives and Cooperatives
Students against Fees
Campaign against Sellafield
Workers' Control and Sectarianism
Media and Communication
European Social Consulta
Forest Gardening
Shannon Warport

Sun:
Collectives and Social Centres
Arrest and Interrogation
Legal Issues
Reclaim the Streets!
Direct Democracy in the Russian Revolution
Radical Walking Tour of Belfast
People's Global Action
Gender Workshop
Direct Action

plus fringe events, but they self-organise ;)

To find Giros (the venue, our DIY social centre), you first find the front of the City Hall, walk down that road as far as the Belfast Telegraph building (near the cathedral), turn left, past the irish news (right), past the statue of lenin* (left) until you come to a pub with a tacky flashing red neon sign called the front page. Opposite this is an alleyway, and down here is Giros. For a (big) PDF map, email [email protected]

If you need to contact us, use the above address or phone (from ROI) 0044 775 959 8798

I could tell you all a lot more, but to be honest, this is my day off from organising anything and i'd rather talk about fish or birds or something.

* honest. i'm not kidding.
