International Institute for Research and Education

Our first one-month 'New Questions' School was held in 1995. Over the years these sessions have built on and synthesized innovations in the IIRE curriculum going back to our first years. Wrestling with a range of different themes, participants focus on the implications of a changing world economy and on challenges to traditional ways of organizing.
From 2005, the school was named "Global Justice School", focusing on the challenges posed by the "movement of movements" since 2001. This school was a great occasion for us to build links with many activists and organizations from all around the world.
Since 2012, our three week school is called the Ecosocialist School. We understand that the ecological crisis must be central in the strategy and practice of activists for social change, and we hope this school contributes to the renewal of socialist thought among broad layers of activists. The Ecosocialist School is tri-lingual: English, French and Castilian.
