SUMMARY:Webinar: SPEAKING OF VIOLENCE: Mapping The Terrain
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the first in a series of webinars titled Towards a People’s Peace – A Global Webinar Series on The Transformative Role of Social Movements in Resisting Violence and Building Peace \nWEBINAR I Speaking of Violence: Mapping the Terrain\nDate: 29 January 2025\nWe introduce the series with a first webinar exploring different categories of collective violence and examining the roots and manifestations of this\, and how these are understood and experienced by social movements. \nSocial 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? \nThis 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. \nStrategic 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. \nEach 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. \nRead more about other upcoming webinars below! \n\nAbout The Series: \n\n\nThis six-part webinar series invites activists\, scholars\, policymakers\, and the public to explore the complex roots\, manifestations and dynamics of violence\, while also understanding the transformative role of social movements in addressing these\, of building global peace and amplifying justice. \n\n\n\nSocial movements worldwide navigate a complex terrain\, facing multiple forms of violence\, and employing a range of strategies from peaceful protests to armed resistance in order to confront them.
