Spirit Of Revolt (SoR) Short film, chat and mini exhibition about the
Spirit of Revolt. SOR set up 2 years ago and is an important project
to come out of the Glasgow. As an archive of dissent it digs up and
preserves Glasgow’s,Clydeside’s and wider Anarchist and
Libertarian-Socialist past and present. The everyday struggle for a
fairer life has industrial and cultural activism at heart, a
colourful and empowering history. Come and find out what SOR does and
how you could turn Glasgow’s radical history into useful tools for
future action. + display from Con&Wealth Games

Common Good Awareness Project. Film and discussion Electron Club
Film 2:00 Discussion 3:00 Saturday 11th

The film was made to create awareness and understanding of the
Common Good, and to support the Portobello Park campaign, where a
dangerous president through the use of private bills could have a
devastating effect on Common Good assets across the country.

We will be discussing 3 aspects concerning Common Good:

1. Scotland’s Common Good Fund
is 500 years of our common stuff! Our publicly owned assets preserved
from across Scotland are now worth tens of millions of pounds. But their
value has dwindled mostly due to mismanagement of the fund, by elected
city councillors who are its stewards. We believe these assets, part of
our working class history, should be used for us - as a social
networking tool across the country, to help empower communities,
particularly young folk, who will lose most if these assets are allowed
to conveniently disappear.

2. The Farmhouse
The farmhouse is an old building in Elder Park, Govan and is part of the
Common Good Fund. By being transformed into an independent resource
centre by us, we are creating a template for Scotland, showing others
how to identify and bring Common Good assets back into community use.

3. Participatory Action Research (PAR)
The Farmhouse Project involves everyone from planning it, building
skills as well as deciding how the resource will be used. By practicing
new skills like filming, audio, interviewing, presenting and
documentation the project using PAR will capture key interests and
concerns. Our local issues are actually city wide so the research could
be spread across the city. Come and find out how we will do this.
