Über Geschichten des Widerstands und die Kraft des Weitermachens. Film- & Gesprächsabend mit Robin Wood

In the organizer's words:

The climate movement is loud, creative and full of commitment - but it has lost momentum and exhaustion is making itself felt. Many of us feel that the challenges are growing, the political answers are failing to materialize and our strength is waning. At the same time, climate justice as an issue is more pressing than ever - not least because it is linked to distribution issues and the social shift to the right. So how do we deal with this exhaustion? What to do when hope becomes a scarce resource and staying power is needed?

As part of Robin Wood's "Full speed ahead for climate justice" action raft tour, we want to talk about precisely this: About the fractures and contradictions in our commitment. About the lack of prospects and political blockades. But also about new paths, solidarity and the courage to carry on - perhaps differently, perhaps more slowly, but no less resolutely.

First, let's take a look back and watch the documentary "Lacoma - Der Kohle im Weg " (40 minutes). In 1992, Lacoma is the first village to be occupied in protest against lignite mining. Young people from Lusatia continued a struggle that began in the GDR and created a cultural space that was finally destroyed by the coal company in 2007. Fifteen years after the last protests, people who were active back then meet again, share their memories with us and ask what the struggle for Lacoma can tell us today.

From there, we will start a conversation together: What keeps the climate justice movement going when it seems to be going nowhere? What can a movement look like that leaves room for doubt, for pauses - and still remains effective? What broader alliances promise an upswing?

Come along, discuss with us, contribute your experiences and thoughts!

A cooperative event of the "Klimabündnis Koblenz", the "Hochschule für Gesellschaftsgestaltung" and "Robin Wood"
