We are excited to invite you to the upcoming Right To Say No Tour Kick-Off event, taking place on March 15, 2024 (20h) in Ghent, at ‘De Kazematten’. At the Kick-Off event, we will welcome Carolina and Wilder, our guests from Colombia and, at the same time, we will celebrate CATAPA turning 20! This is an occasion you do not want to miss out on! This evening, we will travel to the village of Falan, Colombia through our guests’ stories of resistance against mining projects. This will be followed by a moment of exchange with drinks and refreshments. Take a look at our event and register here! We hope to see you soon!

*Carolina and Wilder will be with us for two weeks. Their days will be filled with awareness raising, networking and lobbying events. They are here to share their struggle against mining in Colombia and how standing up for their rights comes with the risk and fear of being intimidated, stigmatised and persecuted. During their visit, they will talk to students, the press, Belgian and international civil society organisations and interested citizens
