Are you interested in both nonviolence and globalisation?

Are you campaigning against war?

Are you involved in nonviolent direct action or curious to learn more?

Do you want to share your knowledge and ideas with other activists from all over the world?

We would like to invite you to the Globalising Nonviolence conference, organised by the War Resisters’ International.

The title of the conference, Globalising Nonviolence, has a triple meaning: it aims at

• making nonviolence more central in the global movement of resistance to war and economic domination,
• adapting nonviolent analysis and strategy to the global threats, global wars and global actors we face today, and
• consolidating, reviving and expanding the antimilitarist, nonviolent, global network connected with WRI.

This conference will be a great opportunity to meet activists from all over the world, to get to know what makes them tick, and to see how you can help each make another world possible.

It will feature speakers from all five continents and a rich variety of workshops, to which you are warmly invited to add your own workshop too!

It will feature in-depth discussion of theoretical and practical issues – from studying about militarism in culture and the economy, through developing the theory and strategy of nonviolent struggle, to such issues as developing a campaign against war profiteers and practical training in nonviolence.

It will also feature a diverse cultural programme and a host of opportunities for social interaction.

The conference will take place between 23 and 27 July, near Paderborn, Germany. Further information about the conference is available at: http://www.globalisingnonviolence.org. To register you can go directly to the online registration form or write us at: registration@globalisingnonviolence.org.

See you there!

Thanks a lot,
The Triennial Organising Committee.
