///Outdoor Skillshare/// 18–21 June

An excit­ing week­end of work­shops and skill­shar­ing in rur­al Scot­land.

Come and learn:
climb­ing and rope access, build­ing tree hous­es, tun­nelling, cook­ing for the mass­es, knot-tying, fire-light­ing, wild foods and more!

At Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp we occu­pied land fac­ing destruc­tion. We lived out­side, grew as a com­mu­ni­ty and took con­tin­u­ous tar­get­ed action.
We want to focus on the skills need­ed to occu­py and defend land with a week­end long event bring­ing peo­ple togeth­er to learn and share the skills for liv­ing out­doors as a com­mu­ni­ty, build­ing defences, resist­ing evic­tions and think­ing about strate­gies for action.

These are trans­fer­able skills that can be tak­en away and used in a wide range of cam­paigns and actions.

This skill­share will be a safe, inclu­sive and par­tic­i­pa­to­ry envi­ron­ment for learn­ing new prac­ti­cal skills and is open to peo­ple of all abil­i­ties and expe­ri­ences. If you have any queries or spe­cial require­ments, please let us know — we will do our best to accom­mo­date every­one’s needs.

We will be ask­ing for dona­tions toward food and oth­er costs from those that can afford it.

If you want to find out more, or if you have skills you want to share then please con­tact us at: outdoorskillshare@riseup.net
