TTIP GAME OVER:
Where civil disobedience and creativity meet to stop the TTIP negotiations
A training designed for experienced activists who want to mobilize in their country!
Directly inspired by the Climate Games that occurred with great success during the COP21 in Paris and around the world, TTIP Game Over is a game (rules: here) calling for creative actions to disrupt TTIP negotiations and denounce TTIP & CETA as anti-democratic – designed with, by and only for multinationals. Time to REBOOT DEMOCRACY!
Several organizations have joined their efforts to organize a 3-day Training for Trainers, which will provide you with all you will need to mobilize people and organize an action training back in your own country. This will be an important step in getting people from across Europe to come to Brussels in autumn, for the game’s second “round”, or to participate in TTIP Game Over in your country.
