THIS EVENT IS NOW TAKING PLACE IN MARCH 2008
The next Guerrilla Geography event is going to be based on our fun in Birmingham. While the focus is on London this time, we want as many mirror events to take place across the world as possible. If you can't make it to London but want to be a part of this event, just set up your own Guerrilla Geography CCTV event. Mirror events in Sydney (Australia), Tallinn (Estonia) and Manchester (UK's north) are already on the cards.
If you are outside of the UK and want to join in contact us so that we can post your event on our Facebook page and this blog.
Here are the details of the London event so far:
After the success of the first Guerrilla Geography Day (focusing on CCTV in Birmingham and recieved attention from local TV and radio) we're now looking for geographers (University Students, Teachers, Academics, Professionals, Geography Lovers...) to getting people 'thinking geographically' across Central London with a focus on Oxford Street. This time we want the London and national media to sit up , think geographically and recognise the field as it should do.
Direct (public geographical education) Action
Time & Place: Saturday 20th October between 13:00 and 17:00 in Central London.
