Workshop on Tribal Life @ Markadhana, MP

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

Place: Markadhana village, District Betul, MP

The accommodation/food etc will be in sync with the local life, and therefore participants should be prepared for a different experience.

Interested friends are requested to contact one of the following numbers/email in advance confirming participation.
