Combining popular ed workshopping and plenty of relaxation and time for fun, QEAN gigs are a chance to get away from the city lights and learn a whole bunch about how to sustain and energise organising and activism.
This time around, we’ll be gathering in northern nsw for two splendid days of learning about the theories and practice of popular education. We’ll spend the Saturday exploring the benefit of education for social movements, and how the ways we undertake education is crucial in whether we are working for disempowerment or empowerment. Sunday we’ll have the chance to turn theory into practice and develop our own workshops for training participants. Great music, good food and company throughout.
Time to get your feet dirty and your mind re-energised and re-focused. Let’s gather and make this future happen!

north qld outreach, March 09
clare towler
In early March this year, I paid a visit to our dear environment collective friends in the humid, and recently drenched, North Queensland. I headed to Townsville and Cairns in the aftermath of both the Victorian bushfires and North Queensland floods, to find a handful of passionate change-agents. It really is all one needs to feel hopeful.
