INTRODUCTORY TRAINING WEEKEND
FOR ACCOMPANIMENT AND SOLIDARITY WORK IN COLOMBIA
15th & 16th NOVEMBER 2008, BRISTOL

Espacio Bristol-Colombia is organising its second two-day introductory training
weekend for people interested in travelling to Colombia as a volunteer to help
with its solidarity and 'accompaniment' work there.

You would be working with Colombian social organisations on various projects,
in accordance with your skills and what you feel comfortable with, as well as
providing 'accompaniment', which involves providing an international presence
to deter the army or paramilitaries from interfering with social activists.

This training is essential for anyone who is interested in volunteering in
Colombia, although we are keen to emphasise that the focus is on the training
being an orientation weekend with absolutely no commitment to travelling to
Colombia. It is also a great way of learning about the culture of the country
and the current political situation that Colombians are facing.

For details please see event listing for the first day of the training, Saturday 15th.
