3-6 pm: CAMPAIGN EVENT! Real policy change – free us all from the camps! A public hearing in Trampoline House. In the course of the spring 2012, Trampoline House will be launching and running a political campaign, aiming at two things:

1) Urging the politicians to keep their promise to let ALL asylum seekers work and live outside the asylum centres after a period of six months.
2) Influencing the politicians and the public opinion in the direction of a more just and humane asylum policy.

On the day of Friday, February 10, from 3-6 pm, a public hearing will take place, being a mobilizing initiative and the first event in a line of many in a campaign, which hopefully will bring about some necessary changes. The public hearing will be divided into different themes, each of them with a small presentation by a user of Trampoline House. The idea is to have people living in camps speak up about their situation and wishes alongside with a common open discussion.

Program
15:00-15:15: Introduction to Trampoline House & Introduction to the Spring Campaign and the public hearing.
15:15-15:30: How do you know you are alive when you are not seen or heard in the society? Discussion on the problems of isolation.
15:30-15:45: Prisoners know when they are released – how come asylum seekers don’t? Discussion on the problems of waiting.
15:45-16:00: Coffee break.
16:00-16:15: Why isn’t everyone given the opportunity to contribute? Discussion on skills and resources in the camp.
16:15-16:30: What if I can’t even say: At least I have my health? Discussion on the problem of health care in the camps.
16:30-16:45: Coffee break.
16:45-17:15 What would You change? Open discussion on how to reach a more just and humane asylum policy.
17:15-17:45: Future prospects for the Spring Campaign: Where do we go from now? Make your ideas useful and join the campaign!

To print out the program, click here. The public hearing is followed by Dinner & Chill Out from 6-11 pm. Everyone is most welcome to stay! This week volunteers from the group Café Kongelunden will cook. Money donations for food are welcome!
