Iraq War Protests + 20 – Lessons from past peace movements. Actions towards a peaceful future.

15/02/2023 - 16/02/2023

Wednesday – Feb 15, 2023 – Thursday – Feb 16, 2023
4:00 pm – 8:00 pm CET

Registration link for Parts 01 & 02 (15th of February, 04 PM – 08 PM CET):
Registration link for Parts 03 (16th of February, 07 AM – 09 AM CET):
On 15 February 2003, a coordinated day of protests was held across the world, in which people in more than 600 cities expressed opposition to the imminent Iraq War. It was part of a series of protests and political events that had begun in 2002 and continued as the invasion, war, and occupation took place.
The day was described by social movement researchers as “the largest protest event in human history”.
We’re preparing an action to remember and discuss the background of such an event, also approaching the lessons learned for the international and national peace movements and further steps towards the future dealing with current challenges.
Soon we’ll be posting a detailed program, but the idea is to have an event divided in three parts, so we can gather people from different timezones and places around the world:
– Part 01: 15/02, at 04:00 PM CET
– Part 02: 15/02, at 06:15 PM CET
– Part 03: 16/02, at 07:00 AM CET

This event does not have a mappable address.
