Frankfurt/M (Germany)

The New Democratic Youth (NDY) had a booth in the city centre (die Zeil, the busiest shopping mile in town) during the day informing about the Global Week of Action and distributing hundreds of leaflets.
During the following day (26/04) the same group also distributed hundreds of flyers on the campus of the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt/M.

Perth (Australia)

r a l l i e s

""Students Without Borders" working with "ReclaimYourEducaton" ran rallies in the city parks, of the Esplanade and Hyde Park, on April 20, 24 and 25. The students and citizens we attracted averaged about 50 to each one. For us, that was a good start, though quite poor and indicative of apathy when contrasted with efforts everywhere else. We spoke about education as notionally identity forming and its commercialisation in terms of a corporate world's hierarchical needs needs to be addressed or that we shall continue to devolve into automatons. We hope that they all will become members of SWB and RYE and get involved in the campaigns to address the pervasive endemic problems."
