2006 sees the hosting of our fifth globalisation

 Globalisation". ILRIG has been hosting its annual
globalisation school since 2002. Activists from a
wide range of organisations throughout Africa are
invited to apply.

AIMS OF THE SCHOOL
·    Activists from trade unions and social
movements meet to share experiences of struggles
against globalisation.
·    To understand different interpretations of
globalisation and to look at developing alternatives
to globalisation.
·    
THE STRUCTURE OF THE SCHOOL
The school consists of plenary sessions and 3-day
classes. Come and debate inputs by various
speakers and guests and select a course which is
of most interest to your organisation. Classes will
be held on the following topics:
·    Building Women´s Activism today
·    Alternative Trade and Investment strategies
·    New Forms of Organisation
·    Looking at Democracy and new forms of Public Power
    
In addition, particularly for activists who may be
attending the ILRIG Globalisation School for the
first  time, we will be having a class called:
·    Introduction to Globalisation

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The Globalisation School is open to all activists in
South Africa and elsewhere in Africa that have an
interest in developing alternatives to globalisation.
