Page for pulling together some events in London:

Indymedia London Initiation Event

This was planned for end of last year, but for many reasons including venue problems, was delayed. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED!!! and an initial report back was posted on the website at: http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/london/2004/02/284953.html

Personally, as I was not there, I would also be interested to know who was there, or at least which kinds of groups were represented and how many other types of London alternative media types (e.g. alt. print collectives, alt. web collectives, alt. leafleting groups and others involved in making prop or whatever) were present. But I was really excited to hear that around 45 people made it down and hope that some of them (you!!) are able to get involved.

WSIS report back - what next evening

Planned as the friday night before the IMC London initiation event. Plan to invite several key speakers who can give feedback and updates on campaigns. Maybe include an ESF update and discussions on continuing campaign with publicity, actions and tactics, perhaps related to projects around ESF.

Training sessions in London?

There have been suggestions about setting up monthly imc london meetings. Part presentations, part skill share and training. These could include:

writing articles + reports
writing press releases
interview techniques
basic minidisc training
basic audio editing
encoding + publishing audio / video clips
making / copying cd / dvds
basic streaming - set up and software
basic open source tools for media activists (blag etc)
screenings - basic how to do them

NB these could be held as open for all imc uk network people to attend - there has alse been proposals to do an imc uk network training weekend, which would include several sessions from above packed into one big fun package!
