Conference Workshop: GM
This event took place on 10 Sep, 2005

The original description of this event was :

Find out the very latest progress on our GM campaign. This will include news of the growing movement across Europe for GM-free areas, and campaign plans for changing EU law to allow local areas the democratic right to decide whether GM crops can be grown. Find out what scarecrows have been up to and about future plans for our campaign to prevent widespread GM contamination. We’ll be looking at how you and your group can work on the GM-free campaign, and the importance of keeping public awareness of the issue as high as possible. We’ll be thinking about future actions, and giving you a chance to think creatively about our next potential big event, and how you could get involved.
