[Bloquez l'empire!] (MTL) Radical Frosh Workshops Call-out

[aaron at resist.ca]

**Radical Frosh 2006 is seeking workshops for this year's program!!!

**WHAT IS RADICAL FROSH?
Radical Frosh is a 2-day program September 3rd and 4th organized by
QPIRG-McGill. It is a creative, politically progressive orientation to
McGill and Montreal for approximately 200 new students. Through tours,
workshops, concerts, panels, film screenings,  and workshops, students are
introduced to social and political issues, movements and organizations in
Montreal and McGill. The goal is to present a wide range of opportunities
to new students looking to get involved in social and environmental
justice organizing, and to do all of this in a fun and creative manner.

**Workshops are an integral part of the Radical Frosh program. By offering
a large variety of workshops, students are able to tune into the issues,
movements, groups, ideas, etc. that most invigorate them. Workshops are
also a great way for those in the Montreal community to branch out and
engage in discussion.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR...
-Workshops will take place on Sunday September 3rd from 2:30-4:00 pm and
Monday September 4th from 11:30 am-1:00 pm.
- The content of the workshops should be at an introductory level. We are
open to a variety of formats, keeping in mind that we are committed to
popular education (i.e. workshops must be interactive/participatory).
-Workshops can be in English or French.
-All workshops should relate to social or environmental justice.
- Each workshop will have approximately 30 students.

An honorarium will be provided for the presenter(s) of each workshop.
