So We Stand

Power in Community is an organisation based in Scotland dedicated to building leadership in poor communities.

They are sending this invitation to groups and individuals concerned about how environmental and social injustice is likely to affect young people in pockets of deprivation elsewhere in the UK.    

Hello there,

Since the Summer insurgencies and riots of 2011 we've been thinking of creative and inspiring ways to work with young people to positively work around some of the issues the events gave light to. We're really excited to announce our SWS Summer School 2012 - a one week intensive programme for young people to come together with long-serving community organisers to share and learn about issues around community justice, the insurgencies, and our political and personal histories. It will be taking place at sites across London from 7th - 14th July. It is free. Please read all about it here:

We would very much appreciate if you would circulate the below flyer and information with any and all young people that you work with and send it far and wide amongst your networks. Deadline for applications is Fri 15th June. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any feedback or queries regarding the summer school.

All the best, So We Stand
