Het International Institute for Research and Education
- in dienst van progressieve bewegingen wereldwijd
Het International Institute for Research and Education (IIRE) biedt activisten en onderzoekers wereldwijd faciliteiten voor onderzoek en scholing in drie locaties: Amsterdam, Islamabad en Manila.
Sinds de oprichting in 1982 is de voornaamste activiteit van het IIRE het organiseren van scholingen. We organiseren cursussen en seminars over alle facetten van de emancipatie van onderdrukte en uitgebuit groepen. Honderden mensen hebben deelgenomen aan onze activiteiten, de meerderheid van is afkomstig uit het Globale Zuiden. Het IIRE heeft zich ontwikkeld tot een vooraanstaand centrum voor de ontwikkeling van maatschappijkritische theorie en uitwisseling tussen activisten. Onze bijeenkomsten geven activisten een unieke kans, bevrijd van de alledaagse druk, hun betrokkenheid in sociale bewegingen, studentenorganisaties, vakbonden et cetera tegen het licht te houden en internationaal ervaringen uit te wisselen.
