The following is distributed to the Networks of the North America Alliance for Popular and Adult Education (NAAPAE) on behalf of one of the organizations in our network.


Dear Friend,
Project South is pleased to announce the creation of a new program: Building a Movement: A Popular Education Skills Retreat. We call it the BAM and it‚s a weekend-long retreat where we learn about movement building and popular education. You can be a part of it if you register soon.
For the last few years Project South has worked with organizations around the country to create popular educators. With the introduction of the BAM, we are expanding this program. BAMs focus on popular education in the context of movement building. We discuss how to use popular education to build a mass movement. Some items from the agenda include: · The importance of history in movement building · The principles of popular education · Tips on facilitating · Where the movement for social & economic justice is today In addition to seeing popular education tools demonstrated, the BAM also provides you an opportunity to create a popular education workshop. By working in small groups you and other participants will create and demonstrate a tool for popular education. You‚ll go home from this weekend with a list of useful popular education exercises. The next BAM is schedule in Atlanta, Georgia on November 2-3, 2002. Register by filling out and sending in the enclosed flyer. Registration for the BAM includes meals (Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch) and hotel for 2 nights. Cost is on a sliding scale from $250 -$350. Pay what you can afford within this range. Discounts are available for those providing their own housing.All payments above $250 will go towards scholarships for our low-income partners. To register, contact Andrew Payne at andrew@projectsouth.org or 404.622.0602. Space is limited and your space is not guaranteed until payment is received. Registration will close, and payments will be non-refundable, after October 21, 2002. Act quickly and we‚ll see you in November. Seremos libre, Dan Horowitz de Garcia Program Director PS -BAMs will be an ongoing part of our program work. We plan on having weekend retreats in Washington, DC and Atlanta in January and February 2003. Next year we‚ll also begin having BAMs in other parts of the country.
