If you enjoyed the atmosphere at – and the participatory nature of – last
year’s Rebellious Media Conference then we believe you’ll enjoy the Peace News
Summer Camp, now in its fourth year.
Bring your contribution to a hothouse of creativity, a small self-governed
society run by democratic camp meetings, a viable example of the kind of world
we are trying to bring about. The Peace News Summer Camp helps build a radical
movement for the future by building a living community today.
MAKING NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION is this year’s theme, with a whole-day workshop
co-facilitated by renowned US activist George Lakey (see
https://tinyurl.com/lakeytour) and Seeds for Change (www.seedsforchange.org.uk).
