“Reimagine and Organize: Education with a Difference” -1

Friends of the Earth India hosted a dynamic 4-day youth workshop in Villupuram, Tamil Nadu in September 2024.

Youth from across South India came together to discuss land rights, social justice, and environmental activism, exploring the history of land struggles and issues like community displacement and corporate land acquisition.

Through activities like resistance songs, theater, exposure visits, insightful discussions and interactive sessions, participants reflected on the intertwined struggles of gender, caste, and class in relation to land rights.

While the venue echoed with songs and slogans of solidarity

participants left with a deeper understanding of land rights and the polictical perspectives associated with it.
