Camp for Climate Action, Kingsnorth, Kent, 3-11 August Workshop programme available! http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/ [please forward widely] There's only a few days left before the Camp for Climate Action at Kingsnorth in Kent kicks off. Come for as long or as little as you like, but if possible make sure to be there on Saturday 9th, for an inspiring day of mass action (see: http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/ camp is easily accessible; the nearest train station is only 50 minutes from Central London. Tent space will be available for those arriving the night before the day of action. This is probably the best opportunity we have to really kick-start a huge social movement in this country capable of avoiding casatrophic climate change. It may also be the most amazing and inspirational week of your life. We need you there! WORKSHOP PROGRAMME http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/ This year's workshop timetable is the best ever with over 200 workshops covering everything from climate science to vegan cake baking through to the role of banks in the fossil fuel economy and how to plan successful direct action. With speakers including George Monbiot, Caroline Lucas MEP, this timetable is probably the biggest and most comprehensive Climate Change workshops programme we've assembled! Best of all, the programme is highly participatory with each session leaving plenty of time for debate not just passive listening. With windmills powering our laptops and ecological systems to clean our dirty dish water there will also be plenty of opportunities to learn hands on skills too. HOW TO GET THERE? Easy. Jump on a train at either Charing Cross or Victoria and under an hour later arrive at Strood. We will be running shuttle buses from Strood to the camp (a few miles). See the latest travel updates at http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/ WHAT TO BRING? Your friends, a tent, basic camping equipment, and a sense of adventure. All food is provided on camp and is very healthy and tasty so please don't bring cooking equipment. But do bring a mug, plate and cutlery, and insect repellent if you plan to go near the estuary! Other useful things are a small radio so you can listen to the climate camps radio station and catch up with all the camp news! IMPORTANT DATES Sunday August 3th: March and Camp set up.
