10:00 until 20:00
The cuts are biting, the economy is faltering, and UK Uncut needs to grow in strength. Bournemouth Uncut are proudly hosting “The Art of Protest”. This free event will be a fantastic day of skills sharing; training in the core aspects of what it takes to be an organised direct action network.

• How to organise direct actions

This is a massively important opportunity for people from all around the region to come together and start planning for future Uncut actions in the South.
