///Outdoor Skillshare/// 18-21 June
An exciting weekend of workshops and skillsharing in rural Scotland.
Come and learn:
climbing and rope access, building tree houses, tunnelling, cooking for the masses, knot-tying, fire-lighting, wild foods and more!
At Mainshill Solidarity Camp we occupied land facing destruction. We lived outside, grew as a community and took continuous targeted action.
We want to focus on the skills needed to occupy and defend land with a weekend long event bringing people together to learn and share the skills for living outdoors as a community, building defences, resisting evictions and thinking about strategies for action.
These are transferable skills that can be taken away and used in a wide range of campaigns and actions.
This skillshare will be a safe, inclusive and participatory environment for learning new practical skills and is open to people of all abilities and experiences. If you have any queries or special requirements, please let us know – we will do our best to accommodate everyone’s needs.
We will be asking for donations toward food and other costs from those that can afford it.
If you want to find out more, or if you have skills you want to share then please contact us at: outdoorskillshare@riseup.net
