A Craftavist Mini Protest Banner

Here is just a taste of what we have in store for you:

Craftivism: Craft + Activism = Craftivism!

Sarah Corbett- Craftavist Collective

Craftavists aim to expose the scandal of global poverty, and human rights injustices though the power of craft and public art. Craftavists works focuses on creative, provocative, non-violent actions and participants will have the opportunity to design and create their own mini protests banners.

Liberation Ecology: the good life, politics and economics in a post-carbon world

Dr Viki Johnson and Ruth Potts, New Economics Foundation

Climate change and peak oil point towards a near future in which we will have to learn to live with far, far fewer fossil fuel resources. This workshop explains why, what we can do to bring the sleeping architecture of a post carbon future to life, and explores the first steps already being taken in rich and poor countries alike to make the transition to post-carbon societies.
