On the 10th April Room to Bloom artists are coming together in Berlin for the first physical Studio Visits of the platform.
European Alternatives with its School of Transnational Activism is hosting a Community Conference for a solidary future as part of the Academy of Migrant Organizing. The programme focuses on the collective encounter, exchange, and education between the 9 migrant organizing fellows of the Academy and activists from the climate justice movement, labour unions, refugee & sea rescue organizations as well as anti-fascist groups in order to advance effective, resilient and rewarding organizing strategies and tools for the migrantification of the most urgent political struggles of our times. Alongside artistic interventions, activist workshops and discussion forums, there will be time and space to get to know each other and make joint plans for a future of solidarity in which frontline communities are also at the forefront of political movements.
