qean- qld environmental activist network

Who are QEAN?

QEAN formed in 2001 as a loose network of environment collectives and food co-operatives from universities around Qld. We work together to support campus collectives in forming and running campaigns and facilitate radical education trainings and workshops throughout the year.

If you are keen on starting an enviro collective on your university campus or joining QEAN, please get in contact!

When we work in solidarity with one another, we are powerful.

Where: Chowan Creek Rd, Uki

How to register: click here and fill out the form!

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!

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.

It really is all one needs to feel hopeful.
