Greetings Easton Citizen,
This is an ideas development project, run by Firstborn Creatives in partnership
with Knowle
West Media Centre and
Calling the Shots.
The theme of the project is "Passport to....", inspired by the 1949 Ealing comedy, 'Passport to Pimlico'. In this film the London borough of Pimlico is revealed to be an independent state, after an ancient document is discovered that proves it to be foreign territory.
We will be running workshops with groups in Easton, Bristol based on the central question:
"How would you like to see things if Easton
became an independent state?"
Come along to the first session at Easton Community
Centre on June 27th at 7.15pm, to find out how you can get involved. ALL AGES
ARE WELCOME!
We will be running 5 sessions with a number of groups before the summer holidays,
and then another 5 to be run before December with the same groups, after exchanging
ideas with Knowle West and Calling The Shots.
The project is to look for ways of working with the many voices and creative
people of Easton and Knowle West, to develop workable ideas into a mainstream
media production.
Join in the chat forum and give your opinions.
- What about education, jobs, faith and religion, crime
and punishment, youth, elders?
- What about your currency, your immigration or even
emmigration policy?
- What about culture, arts and creativity, censorship?
- Will Easton have a leader or will in be a co-operative?
- How will decisions be made?
So what do you say?
You can also email us at; indy_easton@yahoo.co.uk
Will be great meeting with you, fellow Citizen!

True! If the council/government got wind that we had a legitimate claim to be independent they would swiftly draw up the maps to make Easton as small as possible. Lawrence Hill, Greenbank and even some parts of what is now known as Whitehall, stick with us!!! | From:

teresa green | Scary thought Easton being independent. Anyone got any facts and figures about how much income we generate or how much we cost the country in tax payers money. We will be a poor state and we will probably get into debt and then we will be beholden to Bristol. Not sure I want to be independent. | From:
freddy | bristol as a whole is very divided wouldnt declaring our independance be more divisive and what about the old saying divide and conquer? | From:
ros | .....or go forth and multiply? | From:

I think children should be well cared for in a loving enviromentand being treated with respect like everyone else.
