The series of seminars is focused on different strategies of non-violent resistance against authoritarian regimes. We'll explore various aspects of building an efficient resistance movement--from fundraising to electoral strategies, from online communication to polling--based on best practices from countries all around the world. Pro-democracy activism and the fight against dictatorship is never an easy game to play; still, a lot can be derived from the existing experience to make it more efficient. But even if the resistance movement is successful, it doesn't guarantee a perfect democratic transition: resentment and disappointment often start to prevail in the society very soon. In workshops and role-playing games students will be encouraged to put together feasible transition plans for different countries. |
