Putting the fun into canvassing

Socialist Outlook no. 14, April 1998 · 350 words

EACH YEAR hundreds of young militants from across Europe and beyond gather for the Fourth International Youth Summer Camp, this year's camp will be in Denmark.

The camp offers a unique opportunity to meet socialists from other countries to discuss the similarities and differences of our struggles, to better equip ourselves for future struggles and equally as important - to have fun.

The theme of this years camp is 'reclaim freedom'. The theme runs through the camp on a number of levels, from the content of discussions, workshops and forums, through to the very organisation of the camp itself. We see lesbian and gay liberation, feminism and black liberation as central. aspects of the struggle for socialism. We will integrate aspects of all of these into the whole of the week, organising discussions on how young militants are fighting oppression across the continent, and how we can work together.

The development of a capitalist EU threatens to drive back the struggle for liberation, with the destruction of welfare rights and a concerted offensive from the ruling class. We aim to develop our understanding of how to deal with the banks, the multi-nationals and the various governments in the context of the increasing integration of capitalist Europe.

Overall we will discuss our perspectives for bringing about revolutionary change in society, how we can link up across national boundaries, Denmark, 25 - 31 July below - it will make it much easier when it comes to July..
