Why?

With an election looming and BAE Systems taking advantage of the recession to claim it invests 'more and more in UK manufacturing', this year's event will provide the facts, skills and passion you need to challenge government support for the arms trade and tackle the arms industry's spin.

What?

As well as hearing from exciting speakers and sharing ideas and inspiration with other CAAT supporters, you will be able to learn more in an info workshop...

  1. The Arms Trade: A beginner's guide
  2. No more spin: Busting the arms industry's myths about jobs
  3. Ending Arms Fairs, the global arms supermarkets
  4. Beneath the surface: UKTI, militarism and the government's liaisons with the arms trade
  5. Corporations and the arms trade: modern mercenaries and bankers' profits

...and learn or hone a campaigning skill!

  1. Keep ‘em comin’ – Recruiting and keeping new supporters
  2. Making the most of the media
  3. Show me the money! – top tips for local fundraising
  4. Lobbying to win – campaigning in the run up to the election
  5. Talking jobs – skills for non-violent communication and local campaigning on the jobs argument

Read about and see photos of how last year's event went for even more reasons to come along this year!

How much?

This year CAAT is asking for a contribution towards the costs of the day - £5 waged or £2 unwaged. Tea, coffee and a light vegetarian lunch will be provided free of charge on the day.
