Since the occu­pa­tion of Main­shill Wood and the recent nine month occu­pa­tion of Hap­pen­don Wood, Coal Action Scot­land has had much col­lec­tive expe­ri­ence of occu­py­ing and defend­ing land along with sus­tain­ing and grow­ing a com­mu­ni­ty of resis­tance. The skill­share was con­ceived of because even though we have lots to share, we still have much more to learn and we hope to col­lec­tive­ly empow­er our­selves and oth­ers to increase our mutu­al capac­i­ty for effec­tive action.

This skill­share will be a safe, inclu­sive and par­tic­i­pa­to­ry envi­ron­ment for learn­ing new, inter­est­ing and trans­fer­able skills and is open to peo­ple of all abil­i­ties and expe­ri­ences. What­ev­er your par­tic­u­lar cam­paign, what­ev­er inter­ests or excites you, the skill­share will be a cre­ative melt­ing pot of ideas and tech­niques to sus­tain life and resist oppres­sion (how­ev­er it man­i­fests itself).

**Sol­i­dar­i­ty with Dale Farm: At the same time as the Out­door Skill­share will be tak­ing place, Camp Con­stant will be hold­ing a skill­share at Dale Farm, in sol­i­dar­i­ty with 90 fam­i­lies fac­ing evic­tion from the UK’s largest trav­el­ing com­mu­ni­ty. The two skill­shares, although at the same time, are sup­port­ing each oth­er — if you can’t come to one, please come to the oth­er! http://dalefarm.wordpress.com/**
