Gemma will send it<br>> round to the list for a quick group edit before it is finalised. This<br>> statement will be read out at the next climate camp gathering, by either<br>> Anna Davies or Annelle."<br>> <br>> so this is what i was trying to do.<br>> <br>> i didnt think it was a statement particularly about what we were gonna do<br>> at the kidspace, more of a sttatemnet about what this group stands for and<br>> does. i think its important that this is know, and people dont just assume<br>> we are just there to provide childcare at anyones radical events.<br>> <br>> having said that, maybe i could write a little bit extra specifically<br>> relating to exactly what the radical childcare collective is proposing to<br>> take on at the cc, althou to be honest, i know we willl be 'running'it,<br>> and anyone can do workshops, but it just simply means to me that we will<br>> be manning the tent for the week basically and overseeing it all....<br>> <br>> hope this helps, and hope im right in thniking this is whats it all about!!<br>> <br>> xxx<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> > Sorry for not being more informed... but its this meant to be simply a<br>> > statement of principles for the CC childcare collective or is it meant to<br>> > be<br>> > a proposal to be presented to the CC gathering... or something else that<br>> > I'm<br>> > not understanding?<br>> ><br>> > It's all very well put, I'm just not sure what the context is.<br>> ><br>> > Emily<br>> ><br>> ><br>> > 2009/7/16 <tumbleweed_freed@riseup.net><br>> ><br>> >> hi all,<br>> >><br>> >> sorry its a day late, my brain has had a mind of its own this week!!<br>> >><br>> >> anyway, attached is what i could put together in the time i had. i<br>> >> normally go thru things with fine tooth comb, but hope to leave it to<br>> >> you<br>> >> lot to do that! theres prob some stuff that could be shortened/thats<br>> >> slightly repeated, and i couldve gone on and on about this issue, but<br>> >> just<br>> >> stuck to the main ones. please edit to your hearts content!<br>> >><br>> >> the main thing that i was trying to keep in mind is not to sound like we<br>> >> are 'attacking' cc for being unchildfriendly/not provideing their own<br>> >> kidspace, which sometimes can sound like that if we are reading out a<br>> >> 'statement' of our beliefs etc to a particular group.<br>> >><br>> >> therefore, please can people edit the statement in relation to this. it<br>> >> might be good to have a general statement that we just have for all<br>> >> situations, and also edit a more shinyhappypeople one that is more<br>> >> lighthearted and positive to encourage/welcome other activist groups...<br>> >><br>> >> x<br>> >><br>> >> _______________________________________________<br>> >> Radical_childcare mailing list<br>> >> Radical_childcare@lists.aktivix.org<br>> >> https://lists.aktivix.org/mailman/listinfo/radical_childcare<br>> >><br>> >><br>> ><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Radical_childcare mailing list<br>> Radical_childcare@lists.aktivix.org<br>> https://lists.aktivix.org/mailman/listinfo/radical_childcare<br><br /><hr />Celebrate a decade of Messenger with free winks, emoticons, display pics, and more. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/157562755/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get Them Now</a></body>
