In 2008 the ESF, European Social Forum, will be arranged in Malmö, Sweden. We will grab this opportunity to bring together different active peace movements from all over Europe. We will organise a European peace forum, European Peace Action, which will create a network of European peace groups for direct action. Our goal is to develop common strategies and campaigns.

The forum will run between the 17- 21 September 2008 and the programme will contain presentations, discussions, practical work and networking. The forum will focus on 4 themes: NATO and the militarisation of the EU, nuclear weapons, militarisation of space, and the international military industrial complex. The over-reaching theme for the entire forum will be how to strengthen our resistance against militarisation.

During the forum there will also be possibilities to do direct actions against arms companies in the region. The forum welcomes anybody who is interested in peace work, not only people who are already active but also those who don't have any previous experience at all in peace activism.

If you have any questions about the forum, if you want to have a look at the preliminary programme or get active in other ways, contact us on:
