Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path?\" You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” \u003e\u003e\r\n(Excerpt from a letter from Birmingham Prison, 16 April 1963, Martin Luther King Jr.)","duration":6300,"logo":"/system/events/logos/000/000/666/original/Fermento_2.png?1646093846","type":"workshop","do_not_record":false,"track":"Capitalism, health and social crisis","abstract":"How does change happen?

The fears of our time speak of the fact that humanity has taken the wrong turn at various crossroads over the last two centuries.\r\nBut fear alone is not a good motive to oppose these developments, it is not productive: A new principle of hope\r\n\r\nWe want to contrast the current lament with another scenario: The future was and is always a possibility, a change for the better. It is worth dreaming about, worth thinking about and even more worth fighting for. In our project, therefore, voices of different people tell of the year 2048; of a world after system change - with more time sovereignty, community, solidarity, self-determination, health and democracy. And with less wage labour, competition, environmental damage, violence and war.\r\n\r\nIn the form of a collage, the first-person narrators use many voices to report about their everyday lives, their views of life in 2048 - and of course also compare it again and again to the \"before\" - meaning today.

With the help of the so-called CRISPR/Cas process, animals and plants that reproduce sexually are to be manipulated in such a way that they pass on a new trait to all their offspring, even if this is fatal for them. In doing so, the natural rules of evolution are overridden. This mechanism then repeats itself in each new generation: a genetic chain reaction. Gene drive organisms are intended to displace or even exterminate their fellow species in the nature environment. Their release can have unforeseeable consequences for ecosystems and food webs. They cannot be reversed. In the worst case, this could lead to the extinction of further species and the collapse of entire ecosystems, and also endanger human health and nutrition.\r\nAs states, companies, NGOs and indigenous peoples wrestle over the release of these organisms at the international level, it is high time that European civilians address the benefits and risks of this technology.

They have their own historical context. In Poland, women were opposing a very restrictive law on the right to abortion in a country where this right was already very limited. In Iceland, women were demanding equal pay, while referring to the historic strike of their elders 40 years earlier. A trade unionist and feminist from Switzerland will tell of the long mobilisation to organise the strike on 14 June, what the women have achieved and how the strike was revived. \r\n\r\nIn many countries around the world, trade unions and feminist associations are calling for a strike on the international day of struggle for women's rights. The aim is to demand equality! Massive strikes in Spain and Argentina, for example, brought together various demands. While the March 8 mobilisations are gaining momentum in France, attempts to strike face difficulties. The collective reflection will focus on the development of the strike, the obstacles encountered, the possible coordination between feminist associations and trade unions, but also at the international level.
