Workshop on Tribal Life, World View and Alternatives
Markadhana, Madhya Pradesh
29, 30, 31 December 2017
About the Workshop
The current times
are one of the most difficult eras in history. Our society and civilization
face grave dangers, be it through wars, environmental degradation, increasing
inequality and injustice or poverty and unemployment.
Many young people
in the decades of 80’s and 90’s went away from careers and seminars to live and
work in different tribal areas and started political and innovative work there.
In the process, they have found some ideas of how to challenge the current
order and look for alternatives, through the indigenous/tribal world-view and
resistance.
Last year, along
with the Shramik Adivasi Sangathan/Kisan Adivasi Sangathan, we held a workshop
in a tribal village about the role of indigenous thought and resistance in the
efforts for socialism, change and alternatives.
We are organizing
a similar workshop this year where Alok Sagar (activist working in the area for
last 30 years), Phagram (Tribal political activist and representative), Anurag
Modi (Activist and thinker on tribal issues), will be present along with local
indigenous activists.
The workshop is
to be self-financed by us, therefore participants are expected to pay or
collect contributions for their travel expenses to the place and contribute Rs.
700 more for food and stay.
We are not
offering any certificate, but a genuine chance to hold a one of a kind dialogue
between activists, local residents and students/researchers interested in
fundamental change.
Workshop Dates:
December 29-31, 2017
