  ABOUT USThe idea for the Carnival for Full Enjoyment came out of recent discussions on unwaged struggles and on resistance to insecure, precarious conditions of work and life. We wanted to make a connection between resisting the G8 and encouraging ongoing solidarity and subversion wherever we live and work. We wanted to try to overcome the split between large mass actions (at summits, for example) and the local, everyday struggles that are often seen as less 'sexy'. We also aimedt to make lasting international links and networks of support and struggle. On 3 July there was a discussion at the Edinburgh convergence centre on networking struggles, especially in the areas of work, benefits and precarity in general. Participants from Sweden, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Poland, England, Scotland and elsewhere exchanged experiences –- we hope to produce a report on the meeting and to stay in touch. If you would like to be part of such ongoing exchanges please contact us. THE CARNIVAL CONTINUESThere will be follow-up meetings and continuing actvities in Edinburgh, London and elsewhere. We are very keen to network with groups and individuals engaged in similar activity anywhere in the world. If you are interested in what we are saying and doing, please do get in touch.
