"ASYLUM SEEKERS AND AUSTRALIAN ACTIVISM: THE RISE OF A NEW SOCIAL MOVEMENT" Saturday 30 November - Trades Hall, Melbourne
This unique conference will explore the growth and development of the refugee rights movement from a social action perspective. Through presentations from a range of activist organisations involved in the movement, it aims to draw out lessons about what kinds of social action strategies and tactics work, and why. Speakers will be drawn exclusively from activist organisations. Through a range of panel discussions and workshops, "Asylum Seekers and Australian Activism" aims to facilitate open debate around which way forward for the movement. The conference agenda has also been designed to allow for maximum input and discussion from all conference participants. Unfortunately, time constraints mean that not all organisations involved in the movement can be represented on the official conference agenda. However, all activist organisations and asylum seeker service providers are invited to hold information stalls at the conference and to get involved in a day of lively debate. Registration Fee: $20 fully waged / $10 students, concession card holders, unemployed, activists, members of community organisations.
