Join us for a full day of workshops, speakers, stalls and activities. Learn from some of the movements that have made change across the world, from South Africa to Syria. Discuss the road ahead after Trump and the Brexit vote. Join the debate on whether neoliberalism is dead, and what might replace it with: Margie Orford of PEN South Africa, Stephen Smellie from UNISON Scotland and Dorothy Guerrero of Global Justice Now.

Speakers from anti-war, global justice, women’s and trade union movements will debate key questions about the changing patterns of power, dominance and resistance across the world.

Come and discuss ways of organising for social change, and how our movements can work more closely together, in Scotland and globally. With workshops from Scottish PEN, Oxfam, Christian Aid, Global Justine Now and Friends of the Earth Scotland.
