Hello!

Welcome to the homepage for Education for The Alternative, Woodcraft Folk's presence at the March for The Alternative in London on Saturday 26th March.  This will be a very large, peaceful march that will bring together people from all sectors of society - trade unionists, public sector workers, students, unemployed people, and ordinary families.

At the March Woodcraft Folk volunteers are creating a moving safe space with a family friendly atmosphere where children and young people will be able to join the demostration while remaining safe. We’re also teaming up with the TUC to run a lost kids space and an activities marquee  in Hyde Park with political crafts and co-operative games.
