The proposed agenda has the aim of formalising the relationships between 
the different social centres projects across the UK. Since the first

PLENARIES:

Three plenaries (morning, afternoon, evening). These will involve everyone

and are spaces to present, feedback and discuss ideas with the view of

taking some action. The "taking some action" is deferred to the WORKGROUPS

which are formed once there is a clear agreement that needs to be taken

forward.

WORKGROUPS:

The workgroups become the "taking action" part of the day where ideas are

taken further, working groups formed as part of the social centres network

(i.e. publishing project, web development team, social centres/No borders

liason...or whatever!)

PRACTICAL SKILLS FORM:

Form will be produced either on paper on via a graphical interface on the

web where by individuals can add there contacts, relevant skills so as that

social centre activists have access to a variety of skills within the

network (i.e. from "How to apply for an alcohol license" to "Who knows

plumbing, leccy, gas...etc")

FINALLY:

1. Whats been asked of the social centres?

Spread information about this gathering within your social centres and come

to Bradford with some ideas!

Write down your ideas proposals on paper to distribute at the gathering.

Email them to the list before the gathering. Discuss this agenda and email

responses to the list.

Thats it!

In Solidarity
