Previous workshops have included all sorts of things including: bike maintenance, clown army, g8 protest groups, camcorder guerilla filmshows, crafts, activist films, permaculture movements, anti-nuclear resistance, creative campaigning and yoga.

In the past: workshops have fit into 3 general areas (with occassional overlap): these are:

  1. Workshops on practical skills for activists: e.g. street medic workshops, climbing, clowning, tactics etc.
  2. Campaign workshops: including campaign updates, and awareness raising of various issues.
  3. Health, Fun and Creativity workshops to lighten us up and let us a have bit of relaxation and fun, 'cause we need to look after ourselves too. 

In recognition of the many approaches and tasks involved in creating sustainable practice, the organising group hope to host some events with the purpose of exploring, strengthening, and celebrating our collective basis of action and the diversity of roles within it.
