Freegan Film, want to get involved?

Posted in

 Hey guys

 

I am currently producing a student film about Leeds based Freegans and food wastage called "Waste Not, Want Not." and am looking for some people and possibly a location to shoot this documentary in. The documentary is planned to look at one group of Freegans who believe in the idea of recycling wasted food/objects etc and looking down upon such a wasteful society. The part that I want to also make evident is the community side to Freegans and like minded groups.

 

So basically the idea is to

Rally at Royal Park School!

Come and join us this Monday at 6:30 pm to protest against the Council's intention of making of Royal Park School more student flats. Protest will be outside the school in the corner of Queen's Road and Royal Park Road. Hyde Park has more than 4000 empty rooms for students, we don't need more student flats! What the area needs is community cohesion, a space for young people to stay away from crime and drugs, a space for students and families to get together, learn and have fun! Bring your pans and pots to the protest!

Capture the Flag and Transform University

Posted in

The bugle has blown again. It's back to the streets. We learnt a lot from our last outing and are eager for more.

This time the games will be taking place across the university campus - reclaiming and transforming a space in the name of free education.

On the first day of strikes, we'll weave across campus in solidarity with academic staff opposing the increasing move of our university towards a bureaucratic production line for obedient workers.

Our response? Come and play Capture the Flag.
