The night of countervailing power
On 23 November Vice Versa, together with ActionAid, Both Ends, Partos, De Nieuwe Liefde and Pax, organised De Nacht van de Tegenmacht (The night of countervailing power), dedicated to peaceful resistance of courageous citizens all over the world. The event brought together musicians, activists, politicians and journalists from Netherlands, Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Suriname. The program was very intense: featuring speakers, a talk show, columns, music, interactive sessions (Power to the People! Civic power in the global South; Populism café and Journalism & Civic Power), as well as exhibitions of organisations and short movies.
