The week-long programme will culminate with a demonstration outside the Tower Building a week on Friday where protesters are asked to wear an item of red clothing all day in a bid to engage more students in voicing against the G8 summit and encourage them to become involved in other peaceful protests nearer July.

World-renowned liberal intellectual Noam Chomsky will deliver a talk entitled ‘The Fateful Triangle: The US, Israel & The Palestinians, via a live video link from a seminar in Edinburgh on Tuesday.

Filmographer Mike Bonanno will also speak at the trade justice event held in the Tower Building next Wednesday evening prior to the screening of his comedic documentary, The Yes Men.

The film charts a small group of prankster activists that gain world-wide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organisation on TV and at business conferences around the globe.

Cat Lee, president of People and Planet said, “We hope it will raise student awareness and get students involved in showing their strength of feeling against G8.

“It will all be peaceful but it will hopefully encourage people to stand up and say something.

“We have had such a great response from people, and in particular speakers that we have approached and have agreed to take part.

“Previously, everything we have organised has been campus-based, such as recycling campaigns, and we had a campus clean-up, but we felt this is a huge event that is so close to Dundee and it was an opportunity to show our opinion of it,” explained the third year art student.

“It’s a way of telling students what G8 is all about and raising their awareness and knowledge of it and hopefully if they join us for some of the events next week then they will join in with some of the bigger demonstrations being organised against G8 nearer the time of the summit.”

Anyone can attend any of the events by turning up at the door.
