PGA Info Point Meeting at the European conference on 4/9
(castellano)
(Leiden at the LVC place)
provisional infopoint contact list
Ideas that came up concerning what should we do as Infopoints-
- Translation to the local languages of PGA related materials.
- To Invite people that could speak about PGA to events, screening of movies.
- To Invite people to connect their struggles to the global resistance.
- To help in links to other groups in the network.
- It was noted that the participants in the meetings came mainly from groups active in the big cities and so it was emphasized that we need to get also to the small towns.
- To bare in mind that PGA materials will be mainly releavant to people already active for socail change, rather that to people passing by.
- Get to Festivals, Convergences, putting stalls.
- It was agreed that there is no need for a mailing list between us, but we could use the internet to help in building of local networks.
- It was suggested that we distribute information about topics related to globalization like the GATS agreement that was campaigned against in Austria. It was asked in response are we mainly an info point on PGA or on Globlaization?
- Go to organizations and tell them about PGA. Every group will work as it reads it local atmosphere, we don't need any formal rulls concerning how an info point sould function.
- Report to local interested people about the conerence.
- To make at least the minimal arrangements so that PGA related information will be accesssible.
- To tell the stories in the background of the global resistance (Zapatista).
- Making connections with groups in southern countries, exchange information, and try to support their local efforts and arrival to conferences.
- Make the PGA more visible, for example, by putting out fliers or information pamphlets.
- To distribute information related to the theoretical discussions within the network.
- To show the divergence of the groups in the network.
- To make information package about the last coonference to distribute to interested people.
