Because the group at the meeting was quite small we decided not to include include some of the original agenda items, such as splitting into working groups. Instead we stayed as a group and brainstormed a few ideas together. A lot of the ideas weren’t taken on by specific people to do, because there were so few of us there, so if anyone reading this sees a task they’d like to take on then feel free!

We could do with someone/group to act as a specific youth outreach person – a buffer/intermediary to reduce intimidation factor for young people to get involved directly with climate camp.

International newsletter – network with similar groups from all over the world and let them know what we’re doing, planning, and bounce ideas off eachother.

Outreach targeted at www.350.org local groups – good source of interested and motivated people.

T - Outreach as individuals in our own communities.
I - Extend to other non-environmental groups – frame things e.g. COP15, NAMA from their point of view.

I - Using gatherings/events organised by others – have a stall and sign up sheet.

Local newspapers and radio (e.g. community diaries) – create (unless we have one already?) a list to send regular press releases by email of goings on/plans.

T - Use other events e.g. tree week where the media will already be – use google callenders to find these.

T- has useful contacts who might be able to help with research and media.

T – Skills: it’s ok to have leadership when people are skilled in a particular area.

K – Camp setup could be publicised as a skills sharing week/weekend – encourage people to really get invested in the camp, bonding, and pro-active practical education (directly fulfilling 2 of the aims of the camp ) = plus a way to introduce more practical workshops into the camp.

T – combination of indoor and outdoor activities – moveable.

Camp video link – could Dublin Community TV screen this daily while camp is on? Or on the website?

Workshops outside the camp -     Schools

-          FORIGE / other groups

-          Residents associations

-          Community councils

T - Extreme activism: need to soften? (scare people who are otherwise very committed – perceived risk of arrest)

L - No, there should be room for ALL types of action in climate camp.

Achievements and numbers (i.e. of people involved/attending events/signed up to newsletters) – show these on the website so people can see that stuff is happening so that momentum is not lost/people don’t drift  away. (Both for us – people involved with climate camp – and those who aren’t yet involved)

Do more stuff all year round – actions and outreach events.

Eden B – use as an outreach resource and to showcase what individual climate camp members are doing.

Videos – capture imagination better than text. Make more use of youtube.

T - Traditional skills – getting in touch with people who do this could build momentum toward the kind of positive changes and example we want to set.

Collect case studies e.g. of Transition towns/communities to be able to point to these to demonstrate what we are FOR.

Shells new campaign – Climate Camp do something with Shell to sea?

Stop climate chaos march in Dublin (COP15) (and Cork?) – Climate Camp get involved too? Make a banner.

T - Stand at Electric Picnic? And Moondance Galway? – Did it work for Cultivate and FOE?

Green gathering in Ulster – is it happening this year?

Suggested dates – Jan 16^th/17^th

Suggested locations – Galway Social Space? Belfast?

Plan out the year (use online calenders of other agencies to link in with important events)

Camp venue 2010:

T – nice to showcase land with good projects on: a positive target.

I – Highlighting an issue and bringing possible solutions/space to explore possibilities to the doorstep. (Like this year)

More approachable/appropriate name – to do with what we do the whole of the rest of the year?

Revisit aims and principles.

NAMA stance? – Clear message and understanding.

I, B – clear message – connections between NAMA and Climate justace – even we are not clear on this!

B – want to do something but want to do it right.

T – spreading ourselves too thinly?

I – we need to have an opinion as it does affect environmental spending and policies.

Travel:
14 young Friends of the Earth people and approx 9-10 Climate Campers going from Ireland. We'll be travelling together. It’s also possible to travel back earlier if you need to.

Accomodation:
R - working on confirming free communal sleeping place.
There will be kitchens there providing meals for €2-3.

Schedule:
Conference starts 7^th November.

T – suggested picking up white shirts from charity shops and writing messages on them. What do people think to this?

T and I – to research Irish people who’re going / going to be involved – academics, universities, environmental scientists, Irish companies, government semi-state and state agencies – we could get together before so we know eachother, or establish communications with them so we can get information from them/feedback etc.
COP15 facebook – everyone have a look at this to get an idea of who’s going.
