Dear All,

This month, I¹ll be unfacilitating this meeting. It¹s an open agenda.
Self-designated speakers and attendees can sign up using the website
wiki....

UNsustainable UNconference (@ FACT, Liverpool, UK)
http://climateforchange.fact.co.uk/unsustainable_unconference

9 May Gallery 1 & The Box,
12pm-5pm

An unconference is a participant driven face-to-face conference that sets
its own agenda and facilities inclusive debate.

The UNsustainable UNconference comes out of FACT's response to Liverpool's
Year of the Environment and the urgent need to establish a forum to advance
the ecology and dialogue around the sustainability of society. Held
alongside our first project that explores this question, Climate for Change,
the UNconference invites communities of interest who have been engaged in
this project and others who are operating through self-organising networks
and alternative models of both capital and cultural production.

During the course of the debate the participants with generate a Manifesto
for Change; drafted by multiple authors, looking at envisaging and
identifying the principles to adhere to, to live in a more sustainable world
- a People's Plan rather than a Master Plan.

There will be invited experts, consultants who are participating in civic
discourse on social change and climate change, and all are are invited to
contribute.

BRING YOUR LAPTOPS - BLOGGING, WIKI-ING, SHARING AND GEEKING ENCOURAGED!

If you¹ve any questions, please feel free to get in touch. For logistics,
contact leon.seth at fact.co.uk

More about the Climate for Change exhibition (and potential topics for
debate):
Climate change isn't the only hot topic facing the planet. Environmental
crisis, food crisis and housing crisis, all against the backdrop of an
economic crisis that has been a long time coming. The 21st century has
finally hit and there is an energy in the air - how do you respond? Forget
the eco-art and bring on local, national and international debates, actions,
contexts, struggles and solutions.

Best wishes,

Andy
