Functioning of the camp
Every morning at 10am, participants are invited to the general assembly during which hand signals are used. This assembly will be systematically translated in French and English. Translations in other languages should be autonomously organized if they are needed. Decisions are adopted by consensus
Different groups will be created (or manteined) in order to ensure the functioning of the camp, for dealing with logistic, financial, legal, medical, etc. aspects of the camp. Particiption to these groups is open to everyone and will be proposed to everyone during the general assembly. These groups will give briefings at the general assemblies
A workshop “group communication and quick decision-making with consensus” will take place every day before the general assembly to make less experienced activists more familiar with the principles and processes which can facilitate the general assembly (facilitators) and with some decision-making tools (agenda, flowsharts, hand signs).
