A residential workshop with Joanne Sheehan organised by INNATE (see www.innatenonviolence.org) taking place at Kilcranny House, Coleraine, Friday evening at 4pm to Saturday at 5pm, 3rd and 4th October 2008
Minimum fee*: £35 waged individual/£25 unwaged (or € equivalents)
The ecological crisis, and the many, disparate, green/ecological/environmental issues which are of concern, affects us all deeply and may be catastrophic for the poor of the world. How we can further our campaigns and the wider cause is the purpose of this workshop, using the skills and experience of Joanne Sheehan as facilitator (see biographical note below). This is also a networking opportunity in two senses – bringing some of the experience from the peace and nonviolence movement and wider campaigning, plus networking between individuals from diverse geographical and campaign areas. The focus is very firmly on ‘Eco’ nonviolence though anyone interested in nonviolent campaigning and strategising is welcome. We will be aiming for around 25 participants.
Booking forms are available from INNATE, e-mail innate@ntlworld.com and phone 028 (North) / 048 (Republic) 90 64 71 06, postal address 16 Ravensdene Park, Belfast BT6 0DA; queries can be made to the same contacts. *The fee set is minimal to encourage participation and, if people or organisations can afford it, we would ask for a further contribution towards Joanne’s expenses.
