A day to listen and talk together to build collective strength.
If different groups resisting, confronting and/or sorting out the failures of the system (however we define that) meet together, surely…
...TOGETHER WE CAN BUILD COLLECTIVE STRENGTH TO BRING CHANGE
LET’S TRY, AND SEE
OCTOBER 3, Edinburgh 10am-4pm
We are all, equally, the speakers. No party politics, leaflets, speeches or keynote speakers.
Only by describing the system collectively can we understand what it is and how to amass the strength together to bring change.
This event is facilitated by activists from a variety of groups. A lot of effort will go into making sure participation is equal and all of us are listened to.
The day will be divided into 4 sessions where everyone will have an opportunity to share what aspect of the system you are working to change, what works in your context, and ways we could possibly make our collective efforts stronger without extra effort and without changing who we are and what we do. We will end by talking about practical next steps and all collective thoughts will be shared to everyone registered.
The aim is to bring together as many different groups as possible so by learning from each other and understanding the full landscape of resistance, change might be more tangible.
When you register, mention all the groups you are involved in, so hopefully we can include everyone who registers
