[ELECTRON] Bridge Network - Community Organising Workshops

Bridge Network - Community Organising Workshops

What is happening in community activism - what kind of message are we 
putting out - are folk getting it - bored - no time - disengaged. are we 
reaching ordinary people? Is anybody listening? How do we find out? How 
much reinventing the wheel goes on? Is the network working? How do we 
create mass movements in the fragmented society?...

To run up to this years Document7 Human Rights Film Festival October 2009, 
a collection of audio and video material will be compiled into a thumb 
print of what we are thinking about when we think about organising. The 
collected material will be presented around the time of Document7 as ideas 
towards Community Organising Workshops

We want to cover the wide spectrum of what is going on but particularly 
from folk on the peripheries of community activism. Ideas for running 
workshops will come out of the "Asking people what they think" interview 
part of the project - so it is important that the questions are informed by 
the people who might find the workshops useful.

What shape these activities take will rely entirely on what can be done in 
the time frame and volume of participation. (nae funding)

The (New) Bridge Network Website being developed at the Electron Club will 
act as a base for this project and will also be launched in October but 
will be up and running before then and used to organise activities.

We am collecting a list of people, ideas and topics for discussion - what 
questions need to be asking - who else is doing this kind of work - what 
formats could be used - If you are interested in helping to film and record 
  this type of event - or have something you think worth including - or 
want to organise interviews, discussions or help in any way you can. Please 
get in touch. Bob
