2008 SPAN SUMMER
CONVERGENCE
GET
INVOLVED IN INTERGENERATIONAL ORGANIZING!
Sponsor a student to attend the
SPAN Nation Convergence while you attend the Peace
Action National Congress.
WHAT IS THE SPAN CONVERGENCE:
The SPAN Summer Convergence is a national
gathering of SPAN chapters and other students interested in peace
and social justice activism happening in conjunction with the Peace
Action National Congress. It's a fun weekend full of skill shares,
strategic sessions, trainings, opportunities to network with other
activists, and free entertainment! It's a day we want students to
plan - them get plugged in.
WHO CAN ATTEND:
Open to students and youth of all ages and
experience levels. It’s a great way to get involved with SPAN
for the first time as well as for existing groups to get plugged
in with others from across the country.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT:
1) Have FUN in Washington,
DC
2) Build STUDENT POWER
3) NETWORK and meet other students from across
the country
4) LEARN how to be effective activists and share
skills with other students
5) STRATEGIZE, coordinate our campaigns between
schools, and make demands
6) BRIDGE THE GAP between our generation of activists
and the broader peace movement
REGISTRATION (coming soon):
We will have online registration for the
convergence available on our website at http://www.studentpeaceaction.org.

WE NEED HELP!
HOW TO GET INVOLVED WITH PLANNING:
This convergence is what we make it.
Organizing the convergence itself is a great way to make connections
with other activists beforehand and it's never too late to get involved.
The entire process is open to anyone that wants to help.
Since organizers for this convergence are students
from all over the country, we're using two ways to communicate with
each other:
1. JOIN THE GOOGLE GROUP/E-MAIL LIST:

(Note: you must join the google group before you can e-mail the
list).
