WEBINAR II: Exploring dynamics of war, militarization and the influence of private companies and business interests in contemporary geopolitics; how it impacts world peace and how nonviolent movements organise in the midst of war.
Social justice movements worldwide navigate a complex terrain, facing multiple forms of violence; from war to oppression, surveillance to discrimination and beyond. How do people organise and resist in such realities? How can they succeed?
This six-part webinar series invites activists, scholars, policymakers, and the public to explore the complex roots, manifestations and dynamics of violence, and the transformative role of social movements in acheiving justice and building peace.
Strategic and sustained non-violent action has proven to be one of the most powerful tools for confronting state and institutional violence and addressing the underlying conditions that fuel conflict and oppression. Understanding the conditions that often lead to violence, and the many forms in which it manifests can help us to de-escalate and dismantle.
Each webinar will deliberate on the roots and manifestations of violence, and the strategic approaches that movements employ to resist and organize. Through the course of these deliberations, we aim to explore the practical and strategic dimensions of non-violent action, learn how to support and amplify these efforts, fostering broader solidarity and systemic transformation towards more just and peaceful societies.
