The event features a wide variety of workshops and discussions, as well as some great vegan food and entertainment. The program will contain subjects ranging across the wide spectrum of activism; philosophy of animal rights, setting up groups, organising investigations, effective campaigning, environmentalism, feminism, safety and security, design skills and much more!
Activists from all over the world will be getting together to swap ideas, tactics, information and skills, to meet up with old friends and make some new ones, all in beautiful rural surroundings of the Dutch countryside.
Please feel free to contact us for more information, give feedback on previous gatherings or send in suggestions for the coming IARG. All suggestions, ideas, volunteers or workshop submissions are welcome.
After the gathering there are options to take part in demonstrations during the following week, so feel free to stay longer for even more action! :)
