<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What you are doing sounds really great. Even though
I am not coming to meetings, I love getting the emails and hope to be able to
support you more actively at some point.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I was wondering whether Woodcraft Folk (the
organisation centrally, or individuals within it) might be a source for
helpers/participants at Climate Camp? I have some contacts, if you are
interested.</FONT></DIV>

face="Times New Roman">We’ll have a general Kidspace meeting on Friday
28<SUP>th</SUP> (probably in the early afternoon) which will be a time
to get as much input from kids and their carers as possible about what
they want the Kidspace to be.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

meeting as well as someone with experience of communicating effectively
with kids of all ages to get the most out the this meeting.</FONT>

statement based mainly on stuff from the Raising Some Hell zine about
not leaving your friends behind and the whole community taking
responsibility for childcare.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Gemma will send it round to the list for a quick group edit
before it is finalised.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

for adults about these ideas.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

discussion on childcare issues within “the movement”, not leaving our
friends behind and what we can all do to draw attention to this.</FONT>

welcome tent which will draw attention to what’s going on.<SPAN

programme of what organised activities are happening each day.<SPAN

space for people to write up needs and offers of support with regards to
childcare to facilitate parents/carers getting to the workshops they
want to.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We’ll probably
also put up a suggestion about parents/carers camping close together so
they can conveniently share kidsitting arrangements in the
evenings.</FONT>

ideas, recipes and diary entries together from the first few days of the
kidspace and publish them in a zine that can be coloured in at the end
of the camp.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The plan is
for someone to get it printed on the evening of Sunday 30<SUP>th</SUP>
(or first thing on 31<SUP>st</SUP> if it’s not open then) and have it
all assembled to be enjoyed by everyone on the 31<SUP>st</SUP>
sometime.</FONT>

<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3
face="Times New Roman">We agreed that we’d like the stuff we gather for
the Kidspace to be as creative and multi-use as possible i.e. not toys
that can only be used in one way and are often useless once one piece is
missing but rather lots of natural objects and versatile construction
and crafts materials.</FONT>
