Samba Climatico Caravan !! ClimaCaramba !!
NEXT RIDE - the next Global PGA Conference
in Katmandu, Nepal, September 2005.
Due to the tensions in Nepal the conference has been displaced to Haridwar, Uthar Pradesh, North India — more Informations will follow as soon as possible
People's Global Action - Autonomous Global People
This network of anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist movements tries to get together once in a while to exchange plans and experiences. Learning from each other and consolidating our struggles is a valuable factor for reaching our common goals. It's now three years since the last global PGA conference took place in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Next year the waiting will be over: PGA connected movements in India and Nepal are inviting the PGA networks to the 4th Global PGA Conference, to be held in Katmandu in September 2005. It's timed to take place three months before the WTO summit and two month after the G8 meeting. Time, to gather for united actions!
How Are We Morally Going To Get To Nepal?! (...think climate change...)
The answer is a multi-coloured explosion of political expression, a caravan of climate concerns and campaigning, a musical melange dancing us through the various cultures and countries reaching from Europe to Nepal. No more flying, no more pass-bying. We get to Nepal by land. We want to stop at as many places as possible and share and dare our political beliefs. We want to grow and overflow by people joining along the route. We believe that surely, there is no other way to get to Nepal than with the Samba Climatico! Caravan.
The ClimaCaramba Train
There is no decided route yet for how to get there, but we want to go by train as far as possible. Yes, we want to load lots of people converging from all over Europe on a rolling caravan of activism! But not only for a joyful ride to Nepal, it would be a waste of creativity that could go into preparing and performing actions and debates along the way - join in with local struggles and bring a bit of street cinema and social drama (street theater). On the train, we could have interactive workshops and debates with other passengers, maybe a subversive train cinema! Dreaming is always possible! But we want more than just dreaming. We want this to happen and have already started to mobilise and think of ways to make this idea come true. There isn't that much time - we're leaving mid August 2005.
