8-9 June, London, GlobalSkillsXChange
Call out for workshops and participants.
>From the uprising in northern Africa to the assemblies in Spain, followed
by the spreading of Occupy, new social movements have sprung up all over
the world. Our structures, ways of organising and tactics are still in
their embryonic form: working through experimentations and learning from
the inevitable difficulties. To progress and strengthen these processes, it
is important that we come together to reflect on them and build visions.
Therefore, we invite you to participate in GlobalSkillsXChange in London
this June. Workshops will take place on the weekend of the 8th and 9th of
June, followed by a week of actions and events for democracy, against G8*.
We will share tools, skills and experience to take back to our local
struggles, while defining common projects/actions/campaigns for global
collaboration - moving away from capitalism and fake democracy towards
fair, sustainable futures.
The event will focus on 4 axes:
- Real democracy, assemblies and horizontal organising:

- Economical, social and political alternatives:
http://globalskillsxchange.titanpad.com/7
- Strategies of resistance and action:

- Online platforms/resources/tools:
http://globalskillsxchange.titanpad.com/8
We invite contributions from all over the world. If you have a workshop or
activity to propose, we ask you to contact us by the 15th of May at
globalskillsxchange@....
We welcome you to come to London, as we strongly value the importance of
face to face interaction in strengthening ties between individuals and
collectives. We also understand that it might not be feasible for everyone
to come, and will do our best to ensure online accessibility.
We are also building an open source freely accessible online platform that
can become an inspiration and point of reference for all those who through
their own actions want to contribute to radical change. So, we invite
online contributions from all over the world on the above topics, in any
format that you find more suitable (videos, podcast, online booklets,
info-graphics, papers, articles, etc)
This project is being developed through an open participatory process, if
you would like to get involved, we invite you to join our mailing list and
our weekly online meetings advertised on our site.
Finally, we hope that this event will be a stepping stone in a long-lasting
project. We look forward to building it together, welcoming you to London
and continuing our collaboration beyond it.
