Establishing a Political Agenda on the Nature Rights: Ecocide and Activism (Istanbul)
2022
We continue to share the experience and the collective memory of green movements from Turkey and beyond. We aim to monitor and advocate for the protection of the rights of nature, and hope to ensure a new and powerful discourse within the movement.
Context
With the support of GTA, GEF is organising a capacity building training for those who are eager to deepen the knowledge on the theoretical background of ecocide, campaigning and activism. With this training, you will be introduced to campaign organization and communication strategies along with relevant theoretical discussions. The capacity building training will culminate with a panel discussion including examples of local movements.
