12 – 2.30 Voices from the student resistance
• The session will provide a platform for students to speak and discuss their work around Gaza or campaigning for free education or around the living wage work. What has worked, what has not, as well as any issues that people would like to raise about the state of the movement. This session will deal with other issues such as the fall out from the implosion of NUS democracy, the Gaza occupations and in the growing deep global economic crisis. This session will also provide space for students from abroad who have been involved in mass movements and campaigns to discuss their actions with us, as well as providing a trade union member engaged in struggles against the world economic crisis to speak.
2.30 – 3.15 Lunch Break
15.15 – 16.45 Workshops: Ideas and debates in our movement
These workshops would be opportunities for students to come and discuss campaigning issues more directly. There are three slots, suggestions so far include BAe disinvestment, NUS democracy and others. Please email suggestions to the egroup by April 7th.
17:00 – 18:00 : Conclusions – Building campaigns and activism on campuses
• Each workshops reports back on the issues discussed and presents the proposals agreed on and to be debated in plenary. What have we learned from the occupation movement? How can we build campaigns? How does our struggle fit in the wider political movement?
