  • Background on the history of the G8-Summit and protests against it, (lecture with Power-Point-Presentation, ca. 15 min., Download the Presentation in English)
  • A summary of resistance to the G8, with the possible showing of short films.

We also like to tell about the effects of the G8 from those not from the "Global North". Therefore we often show short films from the "Raised Voices" project: 20 Videoclips with Interviews from people from Africa or South America regarding the politics of the G8.

  • The situation of various groups mobilising against the G8, their activities and next meetings:

  • The International Mobilisation Camp in August 2006
  • Left Network/Linkes Bündnis
  • BUKO
  • No Deportations/No Borders-Network

At the close we like to start an open public discussion. Possible topics include:

  • Concrete action plans and ideas
  • Possibilities to work together
  • How to build/support local structures (in the local place we are)
