Date: Thursday, 14 May, 12.00–1.30pm
Location: Online
Registration is now open for the third webinar in our series, Exploring Contemporary Issues through Global Citizenship Education, titled Resistance to Imperialism on Thursday, 14 May, 12.00pm - 1.30pm, online.
Imperialism is the primary contradiction facing the globe, and the split of the world into two poles, the imperialists and the anti-imperialists, is going to continue to shape our revolutionary struggles both within and between countries and between the Global North and South.
Resistance to Imperialism is occurring everywhere, locally and globally. This webinar will inspire and give hope to our education work with examples from Minneapolis (USA), the Sahel States and the Lebanon.
