The Event

ACTIFEST is not a festival. It is collective intervention.

At a time when injustice is no longer hidden, from Palestine to Congo to Sudan, from state violence to unchecked tech power, the question is no longer what is happening, but what we do and how we act.

ACTIFEST brings together artists, activists, thinkers and the public to move from awareness to action. Through films, talks, music, art and collective strategy, we create a space to confront power, reclaim narrative and organize.

This is where outrage becomes direction. This is where we stop watching and start acting.

DiEM25 in the Netherlands spokesperson Lucille Cornelius will host the panel discussion Global Solidarity (see full program at actifest..nl). The session will explore collective action and the role of grassroots movements in shaping a more equitable future. The panel discussion also includes prestigious writer and activist Ruth Daniel and DiEM25 member, activist and Iranian born physicist Sima Asvadi. 

MERA25 Netherlands will also have a stand at the event the stand we need people to (wo)man it but also financial support for the materials as well as for the contribution MERA25 is making to ActiFest.

Important: ALL PROCEEDINGS FROM ACTIVEST GO TO THE LEBANESE COMMUNITY.

Please, donate what you can and/or become a member of MERA25.

Other panels will also take deep dives into Uniting for Sudan, BDS across borders and the role of Technology in resistance. We also will hear from journalists and filmmakers about accountability in the press and media. 

Together with DiEM25, organisations such as Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, SOMO and others will be part of the day's activities.
