MAKE BORDERS HISTORY

"Dungavel is built as a prison system. It is not a denetion centre. That is the first thing you must know." - Makielokele Nzelengi Daly

Here's a call out for a Walking tour of links to Migration Control. More here.

"We need Tour guides, Music makers and performers of all variety.

On Sunday July the 3rd we can go on our own tour to visit some of the magicians who help asylum seekers "disappear". We will visit organisations involved in locking up and deporting Asylum seekers.

When we will visit places like the reporting centre in Govan where refugees have to sign on, British Airways who make the job of deporting people possible, the one stop shop in Sighthill who support refugees.

Tour Guides: Each group will have a tour guide or two. So we need volunteers to take on this role. We will provide guides with detailed directions and all the information and training needed to help share
knowledge about these “points of interest”.

Can you speak to groups? Are you teacher, a trainer, a parent, an scout / girl guide leader, or do you just know you have a voice and the ability? If so please make contact to help us.

Performers: Outside the stops on the tour we are inviting performers to work together to tell the story
of each organisation. We call you to join us to creatively communicate the inhumanity of deportation,
the brutality of detention and hypocrisy of Fortress Europe.

If you are prepared to help get this message across with street theatre, music, spoken word, stilts
walking, dance or any other medium please make contact.

Film-makers and Media Activists: This event will be very energic and photogenic. If use media for positive social change and want to co-ordinate your efforts with the performers and make sure you know whats going on. Please get in touch. Corporate Media need not apply."

Contact migrartists@yahoo.co.uk or g8refugee-action@lists.riseup.net and we'll get back
to you with phone details if you need them.
