Join us as together we will: * follow the negotiations, * link up with fellow activists in Durban, * learn, exchange and discuss climate justice, * make our voice heard through actions without having to travel all the way to Durban. *Register now! __* Brussels, Belgium* 2 -- 10 December 2011* http://www.durban-in-brussels.org Our call for climate justice and action goes beyond the result of the international climate negotiations that will take place in Durban. We believe that it is time now to increase our capacities and trust in our own strength to build a strong and diverse climate justice movement from the bottom up. We're organising the convergence to be a space for *a week of* *exciting discussions, skills-shares and activities* where participants can contribute and feed in, share skills, listen to speakers, plan actions and build the European climate justice youth movement in Europe. *Climate justice is not just about tackling climate change.* We'll be talking about the root causes and false solutions to the climate crisis, the historical responsibility of the Global North for causing climate change, and the consequences of it on the most disadvantaged and least responsible communities in the world. We'll also be talking about and making action plans for real solutions! *Joining Durban in Brussels__* You can now register to come to Durban in Brussels. You are free to join in with the convergence and activities at any time, but registering will help us in planning the logistics and the agenda. Find out more about how to book your travel and accommodation on our website , and for all regular news and updates related to the event. *Contact us* If you have any questions, contact us on info at durban-in-brussels.org Find out more: www.durban-in-brussels.org See you very soon in Brussels The Durban in Brussels organsing team -- Sophie Manson Young Friends of the Earth Europe Rue d'Edimbourg 26 1050 Brussels Belgium email:sophie.manson at foeeurope.org skype: sophie.manson phone: +32 2 893 10 09 Fax: +32 2 893 10 35 www.youngfoee.org Durban in Brussels- Youth Convergence for climate justice 2-10th December 2011http://www.foeeurope.org/youngfoee/durban2011.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

People & Planet has teamed up with Young Friends of the Earth Europe to help get young people along to Durban in Brussels - a youth convergence for climate justice taking place throughout the COP17 UN climate talks taking place in South Africa from next week onwards. http://durban-in-brussels.org/ We've sent people along to this before and it's an amazing event to meet with other young european climate activists and get clued up/take action for global climate justice. I went last year and it was awesome! I was wondering if any of you are interested in going... you would need to get to Brussels under your own steam (hopefully as a group) but free accommodation can be provided if you let me know before the end of this week if you are definitely going. Please email louise.hazan at peopleandplanet.org if you are interested, register online at http://durban-in-brussels.org/ and 'attend' this event on Facebook. If you know of anyone who'd be willing to go along and represent P&P please forward on and put me in touch with them, https://www.facebook.com/events/304743969544268/ Thanks Louise People & Planet -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
