    For anyone who happens to be in the Belfast area this Friday (August 2nd), a group of us have organised a "Youth Resistance Day" in the Culturlann (on the Falls Road, by Broadway).

    Our day of events encompasses...
    11:00 - Registration

    11:30 - "Racism in a multi-cultural society" with speakers from the Black Youth Network, Islamic Centre, Travllers community, Chinese Welfare Association

    14:00 - "Drug and alcohol abuse among young people"

    14:30 - Workshop on young people's attitudes to the legalisation of cannabis

    15:30 - "Youth living conditions" including exploitation of young labour etc

    We plan to hold a bit of a do later on, with a band playing and later a disco.

    It was a disaster.

    We didn't get much of a crowd, and the speaker on "youth living conditions" never turned up. However, I personally took a lot away from it, and found the other two discussions very informative and stimulating - especially the drugs talk.

    The guy in charge of organising it was very disappointed that a lot of people let him down, but y'know, shit happens.
