Standing in solidarity
During City Talks, we will talk about what solidarity means and how different forms of political activism are intertwined. We will discuss the ways you can organise and speak out to raise awareness and bring about change. During this edition, young people will read excerpts from the Gaza Monologues, theatre texts commissioned by the ASHTAR Theatre in Ramallah in 2010. On 29 November - the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, initiated by the United Nations in 1978 - these monologues will be performed around the world.
Host of the evening is Geoffrey van der Ven.-|-
