What will happen?
The programme, complete with workshop descriptions, has been produced.
- Gathering Timetable - RTF format, works in Microsoft Word and nearly every other word processor, 55k
- Gathering Timetable - PDF format, works in Adobe Reader and others, 80k
What happens depends on you and anyone else who has contacted us in advance, to offer ideas and skills, and what everyone will volunteer during the gathering. I.e. to coin a cliché "We are all crew". Can you run or facilitate a workshop? Contact us.
This year's sessions will cover a range of practical skills and struggles. Planned workshops include:
- kids' workshops
- self-defence
- climbing
- action first aid
- Faslane 365
- road and airport expansion
- setting up a squat
- housing co-op or social centre
- organising actions and campaigns
- blockading tactics
Some sessions will run over several days to allow time for people to form working groups ready for Climate Camp and other actions.
Five days of workshops...
If you can get the chance to read up on issues you're interested in before the gathering, it'll make it easier for everyone to move from discussing information to campaign planning in workshops. To that end, there is a page of issues that may be discussed at the Gathering.
If you don't have the chance, don't worry - there'll be information on issues available at the Gathering, and there'll be the chance to ask questions and discuss issues.
Of course, the outline for the gathering is just what the organising collective thinks would be good, but the gathering can't happen without your input! If you have any ideas for discussions or activities you'd like to happen, then please let us know. Also, if you can help out setting up or clearing away or want to get involved then please contact the gathering collective.
Entertainment
In the evenings there will be a variety of things going on. You can also chill out in the quiet café or library. Please remember though that this is a gathering not a festival.
