Join people from across the broad spectrum of the British peace movement for five days of exploration, celebration and empowerment: learning from other movements, struggling with challenging issues, creating more cohesion in a segmented peace movement and debating nonviolence. Workshops include 'Radical Climate Activism' and 'Using the System – how activists can utilise the planning, legal and parliamentary systems', as well as poetry, games, play-reading, story-telling, walks, a samba workshop, debates on the invasion of Iraq (‘Why did we fail?’) and the future of the anti-war movement, and more! Fed by local organic fruit and veg (lovingly cooked by the wonderful Veggies of Nottingham), we’re camping in a family-friendly and renewably-powered way from 23-27 July near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, to make the world a better place. Entrance to the camp costs £15-£50 depending on income. For all the details see www.peacenewscamp.info or contact 0845 458 2564.
