>There are two areas of focus -
>
>Global awareness : One is direct action protest from Prague, Australia
>[where it's as interesting there now as it was here five or so years ago],
>and other parts of the globe.
>
>Local outreach. We recognise that global actions against international
>organisations are not effective unless there is a grass roots movement for
>change.  So we're asking video makers of a environmental and social justice
>who are working  bent to get in contact and arrange to screen their work if
>it is appropriate.

>Greetings alternative information consumers!
>
>Weary of good work?
>
>Tried of trying to convince global bankers that what our economic system
>doing is wrong when you can't even convince people in your local high
>street to consume less?
>
>It's not easy when you are part of such a consumeristic society is it?
>Hey, don't worry!
>
>We're understanding people - we can help!
>
>And what's more - It's absolutely FREE!!
>
>That's right absolutely FREE!!
>
>Undercurrents is going to be making our subverts available for use on

>Internet Training:
>
>Alternative  on the internet is going really well. One of the things We
>noticed when Prague was happening was that where mainstream media had a
>monopoly - namely Broadcast TV news - the coverage was pretty
>sensationalist and basic. However, where there were alternatives available
>- the internet and independenly produced documentaries - they treated the
>subject in a come comprehensive manner.
>
>Anyway that's just an intellectual lead into a bit of undercurrents sales.
>We're not really interested in promoting the use of the internet as a tool
>for social change - we just want your credits!
>
>The dates for Undercurrents Internet training are now confirmed
>
>The first dates weeks starting are November 6th and November 20th
>
>There are still places available on all courses.
>
>All the courses are self contained - you can chop and change what courses
>you do. We encourage you to have a project in mind but we have all the
>materials you need.
