Invi­ta­tion to con­tribute work­shops and dis­cus­sions at the No Bor­der Camp, near Gatwick, UK, 19th-24th Sep­tem­ber 2007.

Con­tin­u­ing the tra­di­tion of No Bor­der camps this will be a space to share infor­ma­tion, skills, knowl­edge and expe­ri­ences, and to plan actions togeth­er against the sys­tem of bor­der con­trols.

The first No Bor­der Camp in UK will be a place for actions and demos, but also a space for dis­cus­sion around all aspects of migra­tion, a space to learn about new ini­tia­tives against the sys­tem of con­trols, deten­tion and depor­ta­tions, and a place to exchange ideas on how fight with sup­port migrants. We want to look at the whole struc­ture of migra­tion con­trols.

To achieve this we need your con­tri­bu­tion: would you like to deliv­er a work­shops, dis­cus­sion, forum or pre­sen­ta­tion?

Every day, from the 20th to the 24th of Sep­tem­ber we are organ­is­ing spaces for dis­cus­sions or ple­nary forums. The time-slots have been organ­ised so not to clash with actions or demos.

The camp events work­ing group has so far agreed on hav­ing workshops/talks on Thurs­day the 20th from 1 to 4 pm, and on Fri­day the 21st from 3 to 6 pm.

On Sat­ur­day the 22nd from 5pm there will be a ple­nary forum for groups to present them­selves and net­work with oth­ers.

On Sun­day in the late morn­ing we are plan­ning a ple­nary dis­cus­sion where to exchange ideas on the future of the strug­gle for the free­dom of move­ment for all and an end to migra­tion con­trols. No bor­ders — which way for­ward? And also pro­pos­al for inter­na­tion­al actions.

The camp events work­ing group has come up with the fol­low­ing themes for work­shops, but oth­er ideas are of course very wel­come:

* Migra­tion con­trols and glob­al apartheid
* Euro­pean sys­tem of migra­tion con­trols, includ­ing bio­met­ric ID, com­pa­nies involved, Euro­da­ta, SIRENE/Schengen Infor­ma­tion Sys­tem, sur­veil­lance and what’s hap­pen­ing in the South­ern bor­ders (Mal­ta, Italy, Spain, Moroc­co etc…)
* The role of insti­tu­tions and transna­tion­al organ­i­sa­tions in migra­tion con­trol
* Deten­tion & depor­ta­tion
* Con­nec­tions between racism and migra­tion and antifas­cism
* Cli­mate change and migra­tion, migrant labour
* more prac­ti­cal ‘how to run/start a cam­paign’ work­shops

Lets us know if you would like to con­tribute to the camp in Gatwick, UK, with a work­shop, talk or dis­cus­sion, by email­ing us at g‑anbc2007 [at] riseup.net
