Source: hsfk.de /HSFK/PRIF , October 2011 / “(..) Gandhi’s teachings, especially his concept of non-violent resistance, have received renewed attention during recent uprisings, notably in the Arab world. / The Frankfurt Gandhi Talks 2011 will focus on what influence his teachings had on peaceful revolutions and what perspectives the concept of non-violent resistance can offer to movements striving for democracy and human rights world-wide. We are looking forward to welcoming activists from Egypt and Serbia, who have experienced peaceful revolutions, which in turn are more closely interwoven than commonly known. Otpor! (resistance), the Serbian civic youth movement, adapted the concept of non-violent resistance and became instrumental in dethroning the auto-cratic leader Slobodan Milošević in 2000. Egyptian activists, again, were actively supported and trained in applying this method by members of Otpor!.(..)”Wednesday, 5th October 2011, Doors: 6.30 p.m., Start: 7 p.m., Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (Hessische Stiftung Friedens- und Konfliktforschung), Konferenzsaal, 4th floor, Baseler Straße 27-31, 60329 Frankfurt a.M.”/hsfk.de
