Screenings, Forums and Workshops...
The Indymedia centre will run for 10 days, from Friday April 23rd, until Monday May 3rd, and will host a large range of events. This is the provisional listing of what's going on in the Indymedia Mayday Centre.
In addition to the screenings, forums and workshops, there will be an exhibition and information space where Indymedia photography will be displayed and where groups will be able to host information stalls. The programme is far from finalised and we need you to help fill it out. If you would like to participate in a forum, hold an information stand, host a workshop or put on a screening, please get in touch with us and we will do our best to facilitate you. You can contact us most easily by email at mayday@indymedia.ie
Remember, we need you to make this work.
