Schedule European Summer University 2022

There has been organised resistance to Amazon's expansion in Europe for several years. Several successes have already been achieved: Abandonment of warehouse projects in France (Nantes, Rouen, Ensisheim, Fournès and more) and raising the awareness of the public and elected representatives about the negative impact of this expansion. What can be done next?

Since the beginning of 2020, the sales of the e-commerce giant have exploded, just as the fortunes of its main shareholders have. The world according to Amazon is not sustainable: destruction of jobs and small businesses, unacceptable working conditions, land artificialisation, significant impacts on climate change, tax evasion, VAT fraud. Based on various contributions, this workshop will first of all allow you to better understand the world according to Amazon, to sharpen your arguments and to identify the means to stop its expansion. For several years, resistance to Amazon's expansion has been organised in Europe. Several successes have been achievedobtained: abandonment of warehouse projects in France (Nantes, Rouen, Ensisheim, Fournès, etc.), raising the awareness of the public and elected officials about the negative effects of this expansion, just to name a couple of examples.. What is the path forward? This workshop will allow us to exchange our strategies based on the experiences of different campaigns and local struggles.
