On the weekend of November 15-17, 2024, we invite you to come together for an international exchange about the refusal of military service and all forms of militarism.
Specifically, fellow comrades from various contexts, including Greece, Israel, Switzerland and (…) will report on their experiences with projects that involve supporting people who refuse to be recruited into the army.
We hope that these impressions will lead to an exchange about how we can respond to the reintroduction of military service in Germany in 2025 – and what an internationalist, continuous reference to projects against militarization and military service could look like.
The provisional program is as follows:
- On Friday, November 15th, we want to come together for an introduction and a first panel of Präsentation from a context. After this a pub evening to get to know each other in an open, informal setting.
- On Saturday, November 16th. From the morning onwards, presentations on initiatives against military service from various contexts will take place. Some of the participants will come in person, others will be connected via video if they cannot travel. Discussions on the experiences and impressions shared in the presentations are planned for Saturday afternoon. In the evening there will be a pub evening to round things off.
- On Sunday we want to come together again for an informal brunch. We will keep you updated on the further development of the program.
