Socialist Outlook no. 6, June 1997 · 283 words

This year's Fourth Interna. tional youth camp is hosted by the French JCR-RED, and will take place in Droude, Ir Haute-Loire, near the Mediterranean coast.

Over 600 young people from all over Europe will come together to exchange their experiences, discuss the developments in their countries, and identify the possibilities for coordinated international struggle against the capitalist system.

As well as current struggles, we will also discuss our project for a better society, the need to be a revolutionary today, and how to organise so as to bring about the changes we want.

But this camp is more than all that. For one short week, we will try to unite leisure, politics, and celebration. At this event, doing politics is also experimenting with a new way of life. Trying to put our ideas into practice.

This is why the camp is self-managed (participants elect country representatives, who together form the camp co-ordination group). We want to create a whole cat. managed society, in which everyone can take part in decision making.

The other aspect of our 'community' is the rejection of all forms of exploitation and expression present in the wider society. The aim is to make the camp a place free of sexism, homophobia, and economic inequality.

Each day will have two parts: a morning forum on a general theme, and a choice of afternoon workshops. As in previous years, dedicated women's and lesbian and gay 'spaces' will be a focus for ongoing discussions and activities.

The evening cultural programme includes videos, a nightly discotheque, and a special meeting on Che Guevara. A Fourth International meeting will be held on the final evening. Register now, for Europe's largest international revolutionary festival!
