Can be applied in direct-action or every day scenarios. Bring your (empty) plastic water-bottle and we'll play with some 'weapon/baton' defence at the end. Numbers capped at 20, only appropriate15yrs and over (apologies for that arbitrariness).&quot; <br> <br> 'The True Cost of Coal' <br> The Beehive Design Collective (part of the Rising Tide North America Network) create portable murals of collaboratively produced illustrations with an amazingly engaging central narrative. 'The True Cost of Coal' will take you on an interactive visual tour of the connections between Coal Mining, Climate Change, the Ever Expanding Capitalist Economy, and the Struggle for Justice in Appalachia, North America and throughout the world. <br> <br> <br> GM Campaign- Campaign update and info share. <br> <br> Community Defence: Building our own Exarchia s <br> <br> Sunday <br> <br> 10.00am- 11.30am <br> <br> Regional Meetings <br> <br> Dsei <br> <br> DSEi is the worlds largest Arms Fair, as many EFers know. This year it's from September 13-18. It's not simply about the arms trade. It's about&nbsp;public services &quot;cuts&quot;: the environment: banking and investors: the conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa. Not to mention the borders that stop people fleeing conflict There's a call for a mass blockade of the DLR on the Tuesday. Previous Days of Action- and other days in the week -have included street parties, Critical Mass bike rides, die-ins, mock sales of  arms , legs and even a tank; splashing fake blood across the entrances, engaging with arms dealers on the trains and platforms, invading the car park and rail entrance, blocking the roads, locking on to the trains, even swimming in the dock! And visiting the investors offices of course. And in ther run-up- your local arms factory. Will be talking about all this- <br> Not to mention that visit to your local arms factory! <br> <br> <br> 11.30am- 1.00pm <br> <br> Action Update <br> <br> Gatherings Collective <br> <br> Basic Plant I-d <br> <br> Discussion about Veganism <br> <br> Direct Action TrainingCome and get active in this interactive and hopefully fun workshop where we'll be looking at some fundamental building blocks for taking non-violent direct action to fight suffering, and practising different non-violent <br> techniques to hold occupations, blockade, break out of kettles, de-arrest people, and to deal with other police tactics, like snatch squads, horses and dogs. We'll also give lots of other tips for dealing with public order situations and for affinity group actions, including some key legal information which you should know when you're taking action, and some tips <br> about dealing with the media. And we'll look at some of the values and attitudes which are key to taking NVDA, like non-hierarchical organising and consensus (and others). We'll hopefully be able to adjust the workshop to cover what you want, and to answer all your questions. <br> <br> 2.00pm- <br> 4.00pm <br> Gathering Feedback Show <br> <br> <br> Kids' space and activities <br> <br> If you do not have a kid, we might still need your help, so read <br> on....... <br> <br> The kids' space is designed as a place where children and those caring for them can relax, play and eat. The space contains books, toys and craft materials. <br> <br> The kids' space is NOT a creche and doesn't have staff or facilities to care for children. <br> <br> Parents and carers are respectfully reminded that they will need to collect children at meal times/breaks and that they much keep adults in the kids space informed of where they can be found; please also <br> fill in the forms in the kids kitchen regarding food allergies etc. <br> <br> If you do not have a child at the gathering, but would like to help in kids space, please talk to the collective. Help with reading stories, playing games, art and crafts always welcome. <br> <br> Kid's kitchen <br> This provides meals suitable for and at appropriate times for children. Kids meal tickets cost £2 or £3 a day for 2 meals (the lower rate is for toddlers); please buy these at the gate tent. This is the first <br> time we have sold kids meal tickets and hopefully this will cover the cost of meals, but we may need to ask for help if this is not enough to cover our costs. <br> <br> Even those without children can help by with cooking and washing up in <br> the kids space, please volunteer if you can. <br> <br> Games and activities <br> During the morning (approx 10 am -noon) there will be activities and workshops for kids in one of the workshop spaces. <br> <br> In the afternoon (after lunch), there will be games in the top meadow for children and adults together. Again, any help with these very welcome - just ask the collective/kids space crew. <br> <br> <br> <br> Public Transport <br> <br> The site is easily accessible by public transport, you can get the train either to Diss or Norwich and then catch the bus route no 1 (Simmonds) from Diss to Norwich. Or you could walk or cycle - it's only 1.5miles away from Diss train station. Please come by public transport if at all possible! . <br> <br> We will run pick-ups from the train station for anybody who can't use the bus service or for larger groups of people. If you need a lift please let us know well in advance (and not in the middle of the night, when you're at a train station somewhere!). ! <br> <br> Wheelchair users intending to use Diss station will need to book assistance with the train operator. There are no lifts so station staff have to assist mobility impaired customers across the track. Apparently the station is not manned 24 hours a day and the gate for the crossing is kept locked - so do phone and book to be sure .We have been told the bus service includes some low-floor buses with easy access for pushchairs, people with mobility impairments etc. <br> <br> Hitch to Norwich or Diss; from Norwich hitch south on the A140 to Dickleburgh. It is then a 3 -4 mile walk or hitch to the site; on the Dickleburgh bypass (don't go into Dickleburgh village) is a right turn to Shimpling and Burston; follow this road through Burston village, past the village green and out of the village. There is a sharp left turn, then down a hill to a sharp right turn. Site is on the right just over a little brick bridge. <br> <br> From Diss either walk or bus, or carry on up the A140 to the turning on the Dickleburgh junction as above (only this time the junction is on the left).</span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p></o:p></span></h1> <h1><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></h1> <p>At a rapid speed the earth is being torn up by human greed. Where there were once wild untamed woodlands there are now mining machines. Where there was once clean water with fish running free, there are now damns and the waste products of civilization. Where once non-human animals roamed in vast numbers, there are now sprawling suburbs, motorways and airport expansions. Where once there was clean air, there is now smog, smoke and poisons. Want to do something to stop the planet getting trashed?</p> <p>So do we. </p> <p>Lets find each other.</p> <p>A week of workshops, training and planning for a life of ecological defence.</p> <p>There'll be a huge number of workshops focused on sharing skills and ideas, planning campaigns and networking for all aspects of ecological and social resistance.
