In late November and early December the IIRE will again organize an international three-week school for socialist activists. This 'Ecosocialist school' is a unique opportunity for activists to come together, learn, exchange experiences and build networks. To facilitate participation, we keep costs as low as possible and, if necessary, help fund travel costs for activists from the Global South. For this year's school, we already have applications from several European countries, the U.S., Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Argentina, Algeria, Indonesia and Mexico.
