This is the page to co-ordinate the European Freedom not Fear weekend in Brussels in September 2012.

Join us: Freedom not Fear 2012

European policy making is affecting our every day lives and civil liberties more and more. The EU is increasingly imposing unnecessary and disproportionate governmental surveillance measures on us. We are not willing to take this any longer.

Therefore we invite you to join us for about three days of

discussions
networking
protest
meetings with politicians

Issues

"Freedom not fear 2012 - Defending fundamental rights in our networked world"

We say NO to data retention and PNR and the respect of our fundamental rights in the digital environment.

Structure

We would like to offer time & space to exchange thoughts and concerns directly. As we believe, networking beyond borders is becoming more and more important; therefore this "event" shall provide an opportunity to get citizen initiatives from different countries together.

14.9.2012 (Friday): Arriving, first meeting
15.9.2012 (Saturday): Slots of networking, lectures and talks in the morning, protest/demonstration in the afternoon
16.9.2012 (Sunday): Slots of networking, lectures and talks
17.9.2012 (Monday): Meetings with politicians (self-organized!)

Traveling and accommodation

We have collected some information to make getting to Brussels easier and to help you find some cheap accommodations.

Generally, accommodation has to be organized autonomously. But don't hesitate to ask in case of you have a problem.

Also, you can ask German NGO "FoeBuD". Thanks to funding from MEP Jan Philipp Albrecht, they are organzing a trip to Brussels with accommodation and partial reimbursement of travel expenses. They will visit the EU-Parliament on Monday and they will have a room to invite people from the Parliament and/or the Commission. Don't hesitate to ask them; it's an really easy way and everybody can join! Please see the info. and order your trip to Brussels via the FoeBuD-Online-Shop. Tip: Don't forget to provide the data required for entry to the Parliament on the "Comments" section of your order.
