Download PDF File Nottingham Refugee Week 16–23 June 2018 A festival of music, theatre, dance, film, literature, art, food and sport celebrating the contribution of refugees to our city. www.nottinghamrefugeeweek.org 2 FOREWORD Refugee Week in Nottingham is an act of welcome, a gesture of solidarity and a shared celebration. It exists both to raise awareness of the reasons why people are forced to seek refuge – persecution, war, poverty and conflict – and to celebrate the contribution made by refugees and asylum seekers to the economic, cultural and social life of our city. In 2018 we are celebrating 20 years of Refugee Week in the UK with a jam-packed programme of events to entertain you, educate you and make you think! The festival is vibrant, colourful, exciting and fun with a huge variety of organisations coming together in solidarity and support for refugees. We invite you to attend events, discover new tastes and sounds, ask questions and find out more about what is happening in Nottingham to create a culture of welcome, understanding and tolerance. With conflict and persecution affecting vast numbers of people across the globe it is now more important than ever that we show solidarity and welcome to those seeking refuge in our city.

  • Heres at Movements
    Opening Address Welcome to the first Movements: Protest, Politics and Activism in the Twenty-First Century Conference. Protest, activism and political and social movements have been a consistent and dominant feature of the political landscape in the twenty-first century. On 15 February 2003, millions of people across seven continents took to the streets (and ice) to demonstrate against the impending invasion of Iraq. Ever since, political protests and movement mobilisation have become a key feature of the political topography across the world: from the Arab Spring to Occupy, from the anti- austerity demonstrations in Southern Europe and the UK to the world-wide Women’s March, protests, movements, and other forms of dissent have punctuated political developments all over the world and have become a key and identifiable marker of both progress and regression. The local, national and global characteristics of these movements have taken on a new urgency in recent years and the role of protest and activism have developed in new and interesting directions. If they have, until recently, been focused on specific political or policy issues (such as the Iraq War), they now from an important part of campaigns in electoral politics. Once a marker of electoral failure, political rallies seem increasingly important for electoral success and lately, figureheads of populist campaigns have described these gatherings as ‘movements’ with added frequency. Movements, activism and protests take various forms. Although social politics and party-political movements have become an identifiable feature of protest in the twenty-first century, protests, such as the EuroMayDay demonstrations of the early 2000s, risk being ill-defined and reactionary.
