Days of Dissent! Edinburgh Convergence 2005, turning ideas into action

Teviot Building Bristo Square                                                Thursday 30th June- 7th July

Running from the 30th of June the Teviot building will become a free, open and autonomous space - a hub of vital interaction during the week of resistance to the G8 summit. Daily assemblies will allow everyone to reflect on days' happenings, and participate in preparing for actions, and events. In addition, there are meetings, seminars, workshops, films and exhibitions throughout the week. Collectively these will explore and expand the diversity and strength of the global ‘movement of movements' converging in Scotland. Not only will thousands of people come together to debate and question the world of the G8, the week will also be a celebration of other worlds that are not only possible - they are already living.

Turning ideas into action debates include:

•  How can we solve the climate crisis?  Friday 1 July, 12-2 pm

• How can we really Make Poverty History? Sunday 3rd July 4-6pm
• Reflections on resistance - what future(s) for the anti-capitalist movement? Thursday 7 July, 4-6 pm

• Every morning welcome and orientation meetings
• From Sunday 3rd July every evening at 6pm, daily assemblies, for reflection and planning
