Speciesism / Vegan Ethics (Presentation by Tim) The Ieperfest Crew likes to invite you to this presentation to explain why we promote a vegan lifestyle (by offering vegan food) apart from the ecological concern. The term “speciesism” has been around since 1973. Veganism even longer: the word and the ethics behind it saw the daylight in 1944. Many decades have since passed, yet their true meaning is often unknown or unclear. Through this presentation you will receive to-the-point information on what both mean, and why they are connected to each other. Questions and Answers. De term “speciesisme” bestaat reeds sinds 1973. “Veganisme” zelfs langer: het woord en de ethiek erachter zagen in 1944 het daglicht. Vele decennia zijn reeds gepasseerd, maar de mening van deze woorden blijft vaak onduidelijk. Tijdens deze presentatie krijg je to-the-point informatie over wat beiden betekenen, en hoe ze onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden zijn. Questions and Answers. Presentation in Dutch or English, depending on the audience. 16h. NATO GAME OVER (Info Moment by Vredesactie) Naar aanleiding van de internationale geweldloze interventie in het NAVO-hoofdkwartier in Brussel op 1 april 2012. Sta je te springen voor een ernstige actiecampagne tegen kernwapens en de NAVO? Ben je wel geïnteresseerd of heb je nog vragen? Kom naar het info-moment en sluit je aan bij de regionale groep in Ieper! 1 April 2012, International Direct Action NATO HQ, Brussels, NATO, the world's biggest war machine, has evolved from a defensive to an aggressive alliance. NATO adds fuel to the fire. Under the pretext of 'Responsibility to Protect', NATO attacks Libya to force a profitable regime change. This intervention escalates the conflict and causes thousands of casualties. The arms industry applauds. NATO's intervention in Afghanistan leaves the country in tatters and on the brink of a civil war. Thousands have been killed. After a long-drawn-out war, the alliance reduces troop levels but plans for continued military presence, although military leaders admit that they have reached no tangible results so far. While hopes are high for nuclear disarmament, NATO still deploys nuclear weapons in five European countries, jeopardizing disarmament processes and encouraging other countries to arm themselves. In times ofausterity and drastic cuts to social spending, NATO members invest millions in missile defense and military power against imaginary threats. A select club of 28 well-off countries intervening worldwide to protect their own interests, in the possession of nuclear weapons and ready to use them first, form a threat to world peace. Why an action day on 1 April 2012? A unified European action is needed well in advance, with a clear message to our European governments: NATO's tactical nuclear weapons in Europe are anachronistic, useless, illegal according to International Humanitarian Law, and counterproductive to the non-proliferation process. Therefore, Vredesactie and Action pour la Paix will organise a non-violent direct action day on 1 April at the NATO headquarters in Brussels. Our approach: Presentation in Dutch or English, depending on the audience. 17h.
