We will discuss the massive increase in military spending and militarisation globally and focus on how we can stop this military juggernaut. What alternative narratives and policies can the left offer? How can we build bridges and organise better?

The festival starts at 10:00, the opening plenary at 10:30. The antimilitarist strategies workshop takes place from 11:30 to 13:00. There will be an introduction on global militarisation by the Transnational Institute and Stop Wapenhandel, and a panel with, amongst others, Benjamin Baars (Stop Wapenhandel) Renske Wienen (Justice Now) Khury Petersen-Smith (Institute for Policy Studies) and Ludo De Brabander (Vrede.be). We will discuss strategies with both the participants and the panel.
