Fight­ing Frack­ing? Get skilled up! -

Come to one of the amaz­ing Anti-Frack­ing Train­ing week­ends in Heb­den Bridge, 12th-14th of May 2017, and Not­ting­ham 3rd-4th June 2017.

As well as get­ting lots of skills, knowl­edge and prac­tice these week­ends will be impor­tant for net­work­ing with oth­ers who are resist­ing frack­ing in your region – a place to share ideas and resources to help build a stronger, more cohe­sive move­ment.
Facil­i­tat­ed by expe­ri­enced train­ers from Seeds for Change and Green and Black Cross, this is a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to find out about non-vio­lent direct action as an addi­tion­al, effec­tive tool to com­bat frack­ing. We hope that, by reach­ing peo­ple from many com­mu­ni­ties and groups deter­mined to resist this unnec­es­sary, dam­ag­ing threat to our envi­ron­ment, our train­ing week­ends will help strength­en the move­ment.

Top­ics we will cov­er include:

  • Why direct action?
  • Prac­ti­cal direct action tech­niques
  • Being cre­ative, cap­tur­ing the imag­i­na­tion
  • Plan­ning and organ­is­ing an action – what is involved?
  • Bud­dies and affin­i­ty groups
  • Media – get­ting the mes­sage out
  • Legal train­ing

As well as learn­ing a lot, we expect to build sol­i­dar­i­ty and have fun! To find out more, get in con­tact and down­load the appli­ca­tion forms, vis­it the page on the web­site:
