Lessons from Catalonia
We have a panel to discuss the issues it raises on movement building, the current situation in Catalonia and the political lessons for the Scottish independence movement.
What lessons can the Scottish independence movement learn from Catalonia?
What is happening to political prisoners right now and how can we build solidarity with them?
What tactics and strategies worked in Catalonia and what failed?
What are the prospects for building a different Europe based on small nations and regions and a diversity of cultures?
What is the nature of the Spanish state and how does it differ in culture and aims from the British state?
Join us to discuss these and other issues with:
