IIRE Manila

iiremanila for website

Since 2008 the IIRE Amsterdam has been cooperating closely with its sister organization in Manila, in the Philippines. The mission of the IIRE Manila is similar to that of the IIRE Amsterdam, with a special focus on Asia. We cooperate on organizing courses and our fellows and staff contribute the activities of the IIRE Manila. They organize a yearly Asian Global Justice School which has been a great step forward in building an Asian network of anti-capitalist activists and organizations.

 

The IIRE Amsterdam provides organizational support to the IIRE Manila and cooperates with them in preparing courses.

Desde este 17 de julio hasta el 7 de agosto de 2011 el IIRE de Manila organizará la tercera Escuela Asiática de Justicia Global. El IIRE de Amsterdam organizará la Escuela de Justicia Global a finales de este año.

Desde el 17 de julio hasta el 7 de agosto de 2011, el IIRE de Manila, la organización hermana en Filipinas del IIRE, tuvo lugar la tercera Global Justice School de Asia. Como la Escuela Altermundialista anual en Ámsterdam, esta escuela tiene como objetivo proporcionar un espacio de debate, intercambio y formación, conocimiento y experiencias, y la creación de redes de trabajo entre activistas internacionales por la justicia social – pero centrada en la región de Asia-Pacífico y Asia en general. Doce participantes de seis países distintos (Filipinas, Indonesia, Pakistán, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia) hicieron de la escuela un éxito.

 

El Instituto Internacional para la Investigación y la Formación (IIRE) en Amsterdam y Manila organizarán la Escuela Altermundialista en 2011.

La Escuela Altermundialista en el IIRE de Amsterdam tendrá lugar del 26 de noviembre hasta el 17 de diciembre. La Escuela del IIRE de Manila (la Escuela Altermundialista de Asia) será del 17 de julio al 7 de agosto de 2011.

 

A diferencia del famoso combate de boxeo entre Mohamed Ali y Smokin' Joe Frazier, la Escuela Altermundialista Asiática en el IIRE de Manila fue el encuentro entre pesos pesados de la política, pero con mucha menos violencia y mucho más amor y cooperación... hasta que empezó el karaoke.

From 17th of July until the 7th of August 2011, the IIRE Manila, the sister organization of the IIRE based in the Philippines, held its third Asian Global Justice School. Like the yearly Global Justice Schools in Amsterdam, this school aims to provide a space for debate, exchange of information, knowledge and experiences and networking between international social justice activists - but with a specific focus on the Asia-Pacific region and Asia in general.

Twelve participants from six different countries (Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia) made the school a success. Similar to the previous Asian Global Justice Schools, the session was divided in three parts: the Asian context, challenges for progressive movements and forms of organizing to change society, but this year more focus was given on the issue of oppression of sexual minorities. Of course, the continuing economic crisis as well as the impact of the Arab Spring colored many discussions.

 

 

 

From this 17th of July until the 7th of August 2011 the International Institute for Research and Education (IIRE) in Manila will organize the third Asian Global Justice School. At the end of this year the IIRE in Amsterdam will also organize a Global Justice School.

The International Institutes for Research and Education (IIRE) in Amsterdam and Manila both will organize a Global Justice School (GJS) in 2011. The Global Justice School (GJS) at the IIRE Amsterdam will take place from the 26th of November until the 17th of December 2011. The school at the IIRE Manila (Asian GJS) will be held from the 17th of July until the 7th of August 2011.

iiremanilaWe hope to have participants from all over the world in the Amsterdam GJS. This represents a real enlargement of the discussions with the comrades from Europe (normally the majority of the participants in Amsterdam).
