class=moz-txt-star><SPAN class=moz-txt-tag>*</SPAN>ABOUT THE PN SUMMER CAMP<SPAN
class=moz-txt-tag>*</SPAN></B> <BR><BR>Peace News Summer Camp is an inclusive,
democratically-run five-day experience-in-miniature of the kind of world we are
trying to bring about. Bring your own contribution to a space that bridges the
usual divisions in our movements and our society, where we pay as much attention
to how we bring about change as to the changes that are so desperately needed.
This year, feminism joins our standing themes of peace and justice. <BR><BR>We
will be learning from other movements, struggling with challenging issues,
creating greater cohesion in a segmented peace movement and debating
nonviolence. Workshops will range from theoretical discussions to practical
planning for actions later in the year. There will be over fifty years of
activist experience at the camp, along with fresh faces. <BR><BR>Fed by local
organic fruit and veg (lovingly cooked by the wonderful Veggies of Nottingham),
we’re camping in a family-friendly and renewably-powered way from 23-27 July
near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, to make the world a better place. <BR><BR>*THEMES

YEAR'S PN SUMMER CAMP<SPAN class=moz-txt-tag>*</SPAN></B> <BR><BR>Some quotes
from last year's campers: <BR><BR>“The fascinating and engaging discussions,
debates and conversations that seemed to be taking place all the time all over
the camp. Fantastic networking amongst groups and individuals.”
<BR><BR>“Camaraderie, challenge, ideas, stimulation, re-energising, contacts,
space for input and importing information, wood collecting, tree climbing,
tripod, all ages, relaxed feeling, lovely food, fire.” <BR><BR>“The spirit of
the occasion. Also the chance to discuss in depth issues we have been
campaigning for/support and of course meeting folk and getting to learn new
ideas and about ‘them’ as people.” <BR><BR>“Discussions, relationships, people,
depth of thought. LOVED IT!” <BR><BR>Web-site: <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated
