Dear Friends,
We're really excited that *Durban in Brussels* - the European youth
climate justice convergence is getting closer and would like to invite
you to join us.
*Between the**2 -- 10 December 2011 *individuals and groups from all
across Europe will come together in Brussels, Belgium as the second week
of the UN climate talks unfold in Durban, South Africa.
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.

Hi P&Pers old and new.
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
