This is the paper's own web text, not OCR. It comes from the site the International Socialist Group ran at isg-fi.org.uk, which carried Socialist Resistance's articles, recovered from the Internet Archive. The printed issues were scanned for this archive and read against it: this piece is in none of them, so the web is the only text there is. Spelling and punctuation are as published.

The 23rd youth camp of the Fourth International will take place from Saturday 21 July to Friday 27 July in Barbaste, France. Over 500 young people from all over Europe are expected to come together for a week of political discussion, exchange of experience, self-organisation and having a good time.

Socialist Resistance supporters are planning to send the biggest delegation yet to the camp – and that means that all supporters and local groups need to think now how they can help make sure that happens.

The programme of discussions will include:

Building broad parties,

Elections and revolution,

Global injustice,

Marxism and the national question,

Climate change and the environment,

War in the Middle East,

Strategies to change the world

Collective transport will be organised from London and individual comrades are expected to pay £50 if they are not working and £100 if they are working for a week of politics and fun.

It will actually cost between £150-£200 for each place.

In order to make sure that we can send the biggest possible delegation that means those of us not attending the camp, who are generally better paid than the young people we want to go.
