<b>BREAKING THE FRAME 2: Second Gathering on
the Politics of Technology </b><b><br>
</b><b>July 9-12 2015, Unstone Grange,
Derbyshire </b><br>
Organised by CorporateWatch, Scientists for
Global Responsibility, Luddites200 and others
<br>
<br>
<b>Come to Breaking The Frame 2 for a fresh
conversation on the politics of technology.
Join us in July for 3 days of workshops and
campaign planning, plus music, food by
Veggies, walking in the beautiful Derbyshire
countryside, hands-on activities and more</b><br>
<br>
We live in a world dominated by technology and
by systems created by technical experts. So
whether it's where your food and energy comes
from or if there is a right to privacy, almost
everything in life is profoundly shaped by
those technologies. Technologies do bring some
genuine benefits, but because their design is
almost entirely controlled by corporate and
military technical elites, they tend to
reinforce corporate power and destroy the
environment. Breaking The Frame is based on
the idea that everyone has the right to take
part in decisions about technology, and that
is crucial to creating an economically just
and sustainable society. <br>
<br>
There will be panels on basic technology
politics/technocracy, democratic control of
technology, alternative technology and the
transition to an economically just and
sustainable society.<br>
<br>
Workshops run by leading campaign groups will
focus on the technology politics of food, the
workplace, privacy/policing, gender, energy,
health, militarism, mining/infrastructure,
etc.<br>
<br>
Last year's gathering was supported by more
than <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://breakingtheframe.org.uk/?p=8">20
organisations</a>. Whether you're a
technology politics campaigner, trade
unionist, environmentalist, critical
scientist, developer of alternative
technology, artist or plain concerned citizen,
Breaking the Frame is not to be missed.<br>
<br>
Booking: places are limited, so you'll need to
book in advance. We aim to ensure that no-one
is excluded for reasons of cost. <br>
<br>
For those who are travelling from London, a
group will be taking the 12.58pm train from St
Pancras on Thursday 9th - we'd love you to
join us.<br>
