Intercontinental Camp
for Solidarity and Resistance

15th - 20 th June - Cologne 1999

This camp parallel to the G7+1 summit in Cologne will host the InterContinental Caravan and welcomes all activists wanting to come to Cologne to protest against the current world economic order based on the exploitation of people and the planet.

The camp will offer basic infrastructure
(camping space, kitchen, fire place, stage, water, toilets and an info tent).
The camp is self organised so we expect you to help taking over general tasks and help shaping the activities.
You are welcome to come early to help puttin up tents and help with the general infrastructure. It will be a place to plan actions and meet interesting people from all over the world.

The camp runs together with a kurdish initiative which built up a traditional kurdish village as protest.
