The five-week online school is a pilot program aimed at equipping organizers with strong political analysis and practical strategies for facing the far right in increasingly repressive contexts. It is committed to: Foster a collective understanding of the far-right as a transnational political project, exploring its ideological, cultural, and geopolitical dimensions. Connect global theories of the far-right with localized tactics, emphasizing narrative, propaganda, illicit funding, and institutional infiltration to enhance counteraction efforts. Equip participants with tools and approaches to broaden their strategic vision and improve current practices while introducing context-specific tactics. Build a dedicated cohort of 20 politically aligned participants ready to apply and expand their skills. The primary language of the School is English, with interpretation provided based on the preferred languages of the majority of accepted participants. Know Your Enemy is free for all accepted participants.
Each session will feature interactive discussions, expert insights, and hands-on activities and readings designed to deepen your understanding and foster meaningful connections. The Story of Origins: Uncovering the context and recognizing early warning signs that set the stage for significant events. Propaganda and Narrative: Analyzing how the concept of "the other" is constructed to shape perceptions and influence public opinion. Infiltration and Conferencing: Investigating the geopolitical ambitions that drive covert operations and strategic gatherings. Political Economy: Investigating the dark undercurrents of illicit funding, political party financing, and the rise of crowdfunding as key players in today's political landscape. Law as a Weapon, Law as a Shield: Exploring how legal institutions can both undermine and uphold rights, creating a facade of legitimacy while eroding fundamental legal protections.
