This workshop is run in collaboration with Zemos98 and SOS Racismo Madrid. It will be the final session of a total of five workshops run by Zemos98 and SOS Racismo in which previous and new participants will get together to summarise the learnings and experience some of the methodologies used. Through this process the group will reflect on the interrelation between the notion of the human rights and on the commons as a transversal theoretical approach. The workshop aims at supporting the development of the capacities of young activists working from within and outside the newcomer communities to fight for human rights; connecting them with our larger network to fight against the normalisation of hate speech and racism; increasing the visibility of newcomer activists, as well as those fighting with them on the broader transnational scene.
This workshop is funded by the Guerrilla Foundation
