The Education Not for Sale network is going to be holding a conference in
association with University of East London Students' Union.
Saturday September 3, 12pm-7pm
University of East London Docklands Site
We aim to bring together student union officers with activists on campus
to help us work together on campaigns such as those for free education,
human rights and global justice. It is a day for student union officers
who want to become more successful activists, and for activists who want
to harness student union resources towards effective campaigning.
Speakers and organisations invited include Peter Tatchell, War on Want,
People & Planet, No Sweat, Campaign against the Arms Trade, World
Development Movement, Columbia Solidarity, Searchlight. The conference
will include sessions on
· after the G8, where next?
· why bother with Student Unions?
· building successful campaigns
· the fight against sweatshop labour
· women's rights worldwide
· effective media work and publicity
· fighting fascism
A full programme will be available nearer the time at
