Groenfront Gathering 2010
This year there will also be an earth first gathering.
27-28-29 August in Veghel.
This gathering is the annual meeting point for radical eco-activists from belgium and holland.
The gathering is interesting for experienced activists, new activists, people who are interested in
alternatives basically for everyone who likes to contribute too sustaining nature and the ecosystems.
We believe that by taking control in our own hands through direct action we can make a difference,
more than making ourselves dependent upon policymakers or industry.

The gathering is not an all-inclusive resort but a fun and interesting meeting where everybody has
to help out every now and then. Thats why we are looking for people who are willing to volunteer,
the more hands the lighter the weight.

So come join us for two days of learning, discussions, meeting people, conspiring, informing,
strategizing, making an campfire and getting inspired.

Program.
During the gathering there will be practical (climbing, making lock-ons, etc) and theoretical (visual
resistance, prison support etc) workshops. In the evening there will be music, campfire and a drink.
