11:00-14:00, Presentations and Discussions<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 On Organization:<\/b><\/p>\n

The Worldhouse, a center for undocumented migrants in Amsterdam develops forms of activism which combine support and visibility. The passport of Amsterdam, a booklet including the rights and services concerning undocumented inhabitants of Amsterdam is one example of this approach. Another approach is given by the Dutch Labour Union who accepts undocumented cleaners as members and activists for their campaign \u201cSchoon Genoeg\u201d, too. Presentation by Evelyn Schwarz, Worldhouse, Amsterdam.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 On Publicity and Media<\/b><\/p>\n

Which strategies have been used to reach visibility? Which media have been used or newly created by different movements? Has visibility in mainstream media and in society in general been a goal, and, if yes, how has it been reached? Which forms of action have we used to show our resistance in the streets?\u00a0Presentation by activists from Copenhagen (DK) from the Kirkeasyl protests (2009) and the current campaign \u201cHer Er Plads\u201d.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Demands to the EU<\/b><\/p>\n

In June 2014, elections to the EU Parliament will take place. Many of the demands of refugee movements address the EU level, e.g. with regard to Dublin II\/III regulations. The refugee movement in Berlin has started to collect these demands as a preparation for a campaign within the framework of the European Parliament elections.\u00a0Presentation and discussion.<\/b><\/p>\n

15:00-19:00, Workshops<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Towards Common Language (Publicity)<\/b><\/p>\n

We are surrounded by structural violence that attacks human dignity each day, the new Goliath. But our strength is our weakness. We will collectively use our bodies through simple theatrical techniques of human statues and comics, preparing to defeat Goliath. Against Goliath is a technique of the Theater of Hearing (Teatro de la Escucha).\u00a0Born 20 years ago in Spain, its roots are in the Pedagogy and the Theater of the Oppresssed, non-violence struggles and many \u00a0 \u00a0different social and political theaters from all over the world.\u00a0Workshop lead by Zuzanna Gawron (PL)<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>\u2022 Towards Common Claims (Demands)<\/b><\/p>\n

On the base of hitherto work by the refugee movement in Berlin we shall collect transnational demands to be addressed to the European Parliament and search for adequate forms for a campaign in the run-up to the European elections 2014.\u00a0<\/span>Lead by Monika Mokre (A).<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Towards Common Space\u00a0(Organization)<\/b><\/p>\n

Participants come together for an open debate on achievements and failures of refugee movements and migrant struggles. We want to share our practices and learn from each other; discuss relationships between Citizens and Non-Citizens, refugees and supporters in the movements; improve our local strategies and think of developing transnational tools for future steps. Lead by Evelyn Schwarz (NL) and Somah Ibrahimi (AF).<\/b><\/p>\n

The three workshops will take place in parallel.\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
