We are very pleased to welcome the world-renowned Indian activist Dr Vandana Shiva as our speaker at the Transition Days in January.
For decades, the winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize has campaigned in non-violent resistance for food sovereignty and sustainable agriculture. Shiva has thus become an icon of the anti-globalisation movement. “Instead of assigning a monetary value to nature, we should fight for it,” she writes in her new book “Creative Civil Disobedience” and thus strikes a chord with the Fridays for Future generation, which is also taking to the streets non-violently for its future and that of the planet.
In the framework of the Transition Days, Dr Shiva will address the issue of self-care in relation to activism. How can I stay resilient and still be committed to a cause – without burning myself out.
