CED: Needs volunteeers for poster-making

Centre for Education & Documentation is making a film on the issue of CRZ-Coastal Regulation Zone and fishermen's right to the coast. The argument of the film is that the Govt. is the biggest violator of the CRZ law. Post-tsunami, it is trying to relocate fisherfolk villages on the coast to areas beyond 500metres. It is now using the CRZ law for the purpose, but CRZ law originally recognises fisherfolk's right to live on the coast. Also we'll have a 24 page booklet on the same issue. Our aim is to use these media to bring into light govt's violations and also to spread awareness among the fisherfolk.

We need Volunteers for poster-making, sketches, graffiti on issues like

-SEEE-AAA-RRRR-ZEED- what is it?
-MS Swaminathan report (which has ignored these rights of the fishermen) -Violations of the CRZ law all along the coastline -tourism -Prawn farms
-CRZ zones
-fragile coastal ecology in danger due to govt. policies
-sand mining/ Govt undertakings like kalpakkam on the coast (hazard to marine life)
..these are just for example. We could discuss the project in detail and decide what all posters we could make.

The idea is to make use of these posters in the film as well as in the booklet to make complex issue like the CRZ easy to understand. It is important to note that the film will have fisherfolk as its primary target group. The fisherfolk who need to live on the coast.
If you would like to volunteer for this project please do contact us.
This is a part of a larger and longer project where we will be taking up
different issues of importance that affect the lives and livelihood of the
marginalised in the Tsunami-hit areas.
