Nordic Attac Summer Gathering 2013 – part of the summer camp Rättvisa Nu!
Once again summer is approaching and a building on last years Nordic summer forum we hope to see many of you in June for an Attac-summer-experience!
Organisations in the Swedish network Global Justice Now (Friends of the Earth, Latinamerikagrupperna, Klimataktion, Attac and a few more) will arrange a summer camp in a very suitable location at Lindsbergs kursgård in Dalarna (run by young enthusiasts) 25-30th of June 2013. One of the goals is to plan common activities in the run up to the elections in Sweden in september 2014. Other goals are social; networking, dancing, sports etc. And of course to have some important political presentations and discussion. During the first two days (Tuesday/Wednesday) there is time for organisations to host their own meetings and activities. The summer camp is expected to gather around 50-80 activists.
Rather close to the campsite is Sweden’s biggest music festival Peace & Love in Borlänge that starts on Thursday June 27, and the idea is that we go there Friday both for political activities and fun.
The proposal is to have a dedicated Nordic Attac Summer Gathering on Wednesday June 26. For this to work out, all who want be part should arrive on Tuesday afternoon/evening. It’s then possible to take part in as much as you like of the activities during the days after Wednesday. A detailed program of the whole summer camp will be presented in early May. Following is a proposal for the Attac Wednesday.
