THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI at the Tangeman University Center

 

(Please forward widely!!!  Also, please forgive us if you have already

Global Three: Reclaiming Community and Environment, is a conference designed
to reclaim the human connections that make communities and our surrounding
environment strong. 

Through the conference, people are provided with a space where information
and skills can be shared while simultaneously having fun, networking, and
exposing one's mind to diverse concepts. "Global Three.." appeals to
different interests and walks of life by utilizing a wide variety of methods
to disseminate knowledge.  These methods, such as workshops, discussions,
speaking panels, caucuses, tabling, actions, films, music, art and much more
are the cornerstone of the conference.  Update 2/27/05 We have plenty of
spaces for tabling.

 

Topics:  The topics of Global Three: Reclaiming Community and Environment
are not limited to a few words.  The usage of the words community and
environment are used as a springboard to dive into several issues such as
community, environmental, economic, social, and political justice.
Workshops providing action, solution, and empowerment are plenty.  Other
workshops will simply focus on Art or Cooking.  In the end, there are
workshops for radicals and reformists, for moms and sons, elders and kids,
etc.  Global Three: Reclaiming Community and Environment is a conference for
everyone and 

everybody.   Confirm speakers so far are Derrick Jensen.  

Bands that have been confirmed so far are Requiem, MC Homeless, and David
Rovics.  If you are interested in teaching a workshop, send your proposal to
