Atlantic Regional Solidarity Network
Annual Gathering
November 29, 30, and December 1, 2013
If you are interested in issues that affect Latin
America and the Caribbean, this is the gathering for you. Activists and interested
participants from around the Maritimes gather to meet, network, plan and
strategize on issues in these regions and explore what is going on, how we are
affected and what we can do about it. It’s a great weekend to find ways to get
connected with global solidarity and social change.
This year's theme is Media in the Global Economy: Corporate
Media, Human Rights Defenders, and Growing Alternatives. We will be exploring the mass
media’s role in shaping perceptions and politics, how it is affecting the work
of human rights defenders in Latin America as well as looking into the role
that alternative media plays in struggles both here and in Latin America. We
will be welcoming Haitian writer and activist Jean St. Vil as well as investigative
journalist Dawn Paley as resource people throughout the weekend, and a full
agenda for the weekend will follow soon.
Please mark
the dates on your calendar and join us! All are welcome!
The
last day to register is November 15th,
2013, but bursaries are limited so apply early!
