🌐 Looking Back at the Peoples’ Platform Europe Conference
In the first Peoples’ Platform Europe, 800 delegates representing more than 160 organisations from 35 countries and territories answered this call. Together, we took important first steps, in beginning to build common analyses of the pressing social and political issues of our time, and in how to organise together.
The following text attempts to provide an overview of the main topics, presentations and discussions held.
While by no means an exhaustive account of the rich discussions and perspectives shared, we hope this may serve as a point of departure for future conversations, together and in each of our own local contexts.
The panel "Reclaiming the Initiative" will bring together prominent activists and thinkers to give an insight into the current challenges for the organisation from the bottom up.

✳️ INTERNATIONAL: The Formation of The Baloch National Struggle
Author: Asghar Ali
➡️ “It is crucial to remember that Balochistan is not a ‘terra nullius’, a land without people; it has its own population. Unfortunately, the plight of the people of Balochistan, whose lives have been adversely affected by injustices since 27 March 1948, tends to be overlooked by both those in power and the general public.”
