BOUNDARIES TO BRIDGES TOUR 2003 - 2004

A group of Europe based activists gathered from Europe and North Africa will be gathering in Almeria (Spain) in October 2003 from where a caravan will move to St. Louis (Senegal) via Sevilla (Spain), Ceuta and possibly the SETI camp (Morrocco), Larache(Morrocco), The Sahara, Mauritania and finally Senegal, where the tour is expected to arrive in March 2004.

No Border groups and individuals, artists, scientists, musicians and technicians of all origins will collaborate to launch the multilingual 'Boundaries to Bridges' and generate activities and actions such as:

Cultural Exchange: The Caravan will serve as a platform for talks, workshops, info-exchanges,parties, circus and theatre performances and will also have a mobile cinema showing documentaries and films covering themes of immigration and frontiers. It is open for all to participate. Currently involved are self organized migrant groups from Morrocco and Senegal living in Spain and Morroco,alongside a host of other disparate individuals and groups.

Technological Cooperation: We are aiming for a collaboration with local groups and initiatives to facilitate the exchange of equipment and knowledge in the fields of migration, detention centres and border issues, alternative energy and transportation systems, local sustainability and information technology.

Institute of Nomadology: In each major location the Caravan will organize a congress to discuss perspectives of borders, nomadism, migration, cultural exchanges and future technology.
