===COMMUTE, WORK, COMMUTE, SLEEP... WHAT IS WORK/LIFE BALANCE? Wed, 1 June, 12.30===
What is the relationship between 'work' and 'life'? Does a 'work/life balance' suggest that
when we're working we're not really living? Is work simply the means by which we
acquire resources to keep us alive? These are some of the questions we'll discuss, and I'll
outline ways in which people thought differently about the relationship between work and
life in the past.

The Peace Camp invites people to bring and contribute their own viewpoints, ideas and suggestions, in a day-long event devoted to peace and better relations.

In this 6th consecutive year participating organisations reflect an
