Channel: IGINP Canada
Date: 2022-05-17

Welcome to Speaking Our Peace, the podcast that brings you into conversations with peace and nonviolence activists from all over the world. In this week’s episode, you’ll hear from Annie Luk, and our guest Alain Dangoisse from Brussels, Belgium.  Alain is one of the members of the advisory committee for the Jai Jagat 2020 march.  He also works at the University of Louvain as the coordinator for sustainable development.  In this episode, Alain shares his stories on organizing marches within Belgium, where marching is not a common strategy for mobilizing communities.  He talks about the nonviolent approach when thinking about environmental and economic issues.  At the age of 60, Alain is not thinking about retirement or taking it easy.  In fact, he’s excited about the ten year plan he’s working on for Jai Jagat.  This long term thinking and planning offers us a way not only to carry the hope for a better future, but also to not get discouraged by the challenges we face today.
