[Imc-africa] RE : Fwd: Convergence-Based IMC

[sphinx]

Hi ! Preparations for the 2006 Conference on Formal Consensus and Nonviolent
Social Change  planed for Lagos Nigeria continue and registration is presently
going on :
http://www.foodnotbombs.net/2006_africa_register.html


But as you surely noticed, the dates of the Conference was pushed to November
24 to December 1,  2006.
I'm copying the mailing list for that Conference, C.T and Keith who has been
very actively preparing the Conference with the people in Nigeria.

Below is a link to the last available web information on  preparation for that
Conference.
http://www.foodnotbombs.net/2006_conference.html

I very much thinking this Conference is very important. For people who would
like to come, it was conceived with WSF and indymedia growth in Africa and
formal Consensus organizing as a whole in Africa in mind.
