Dialogue on Engaging Youth in Nonviolent Alternatives to Militarism starts in 2 days!

Submitted by Kristin Antin on 19 April, 2010 - 18:35

December18.org Join the New Tactics dialogue featuring 'Engaging Youth in Non-Violent Alternatives to Militarism' from April 21 to 27. Governments around the world target youth for military recruitment and service. In response, human rights organizations have developed innovative ways of introducing youth to non-violent alternatives to military service and combating the culture of militarism. This tactical dialogue is a space for those working with and interested in engaging youth in non-violent alternatives to militarism to share their stories, challenges, resources and ideas.

New Tactics is pleased to host this dialogue with the help and engagement of students from the St. Thomas University, Conflict Resolution studies course.

Our featured resource practitioners leading this dialogue so far include:

Oskar Castro of the American Friends Service Committee - Youth and Militarism Program, United States
Amjad Ali of the Swat Youth Front, Pakistan
Paul Chappell of the Youth Empowerment Initiative, United States
Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), United States
Tyler Zabel - Illinois National Guard veteran and conscientious objector
Mike Ferner of Veterans for Peace, United States
Daniel Lakemacher and Patrick Spahn from the Center on Conscience, United States
