SPEAK say:

"There will be many activities held inside the marquee, ranging from debates on issues of world trade and the accountability of Multinational Companies, music and comedy nights, open days for the public to find out more about these issues and take part in the campaigns, as well as space to chill out and reflect in the Big Dress.

"We hope it will be an opportunity for young people to really engage with God's heart for justice - how to play and pray our part, how to share our faith in what we do, and become more informed of the issues.

"Ruth Valerio, author of L is for Lifestyle, will be speaking on the connections between justice and faith, and there will be a variety of workshops in the afternoon from young people in the SPEAK network as well as campaign actions to participate in."
