Come to the NCAFC National Conference: 28-29 January, Liverpool

The National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts is now in a position to announce the date and location of our national conference. It will take place on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th January in Liverpool.

To let us know you’re coming, or to register a larger delegation, email againstfeesandcuts@gmail.com. Accommodation will be provided as far as possible.

The event will bring anti-fees and anti-cuts activists from all over the UK to decide “where next” for the student movement.

It will give you an opportunity to get involved in NCAFC and make it your own. There will be votes and discussions on actions and policies, and the election of a new National Committee. Conference will have space and time laid aside for NCAFC’s independent Liberation caucuses: LGBTQ, BME, Women and Disabled.

There will also be a large range of workshops where we can collectively discuss what is happening to education, and our experiences and take useful ideas back to our campuses, as well as generally having a big conversation about politics and the student movement.
Fun and socialising will feature a lot.

The Agenda is below:

A revised agenda with speakers will be out shortly.
