Protestival
Student activism in Groningen, ‘70 & now
You're young and you want to speak out against abuses. Where do you begin? 55 years ago, student activists asked themselves the same question, leading to the founding of the Groningen Student Union (GSb). In 1971, they campaigned for a better position for students, against climate change, and for international solidarity. How does the political youth culture of that time compare to today's? And what's on the agendas of student activists today?
The book launch of Nait Soez’n – De Groninger Studentenbond in jaren zeventig – en wat daaraan vooraf ging will kick off this program. Afterwards, GSb alumni will engage in conversation with contemporary student activists. Researcher Rodrigo Gonzalez Alvarez and human rights lawyer Jelle Klaas will talk about queer activism and the right to protest. You can also make a political zine, give traditional protest songs a modern twist, and listen to live music. Or talk to political student organizations and browse the mini-market for books and merchandise!
Speakers: Rodrigo González Álvarez, Zola Westerhof, Jelle Klaas a.o.
Protestival is a collaboration between Studium Generale, Groninger Studentenbond and Usva.
Het programma start om 19.30 uur. De inloop is vanaf 19.00 uur
