Internationalism – Then and Now
         The ILRIG 25th Anniversary 
     10, 11, 12 April, Cape Town 2008

ILRIG was started in 1983 at the height of trade union unity talks in South Africa – which led, amongst other things, to the formation of COSATU - and the start of a mass movement which brought down Apartheid. 2008 will therefore be the 25th anniversary of ILRIG. 
ILRIG will be celebrating its 25th anniversary by hosting:

    • A 2-day conference on 10 and 11 April, followed by
    • An open day on 12 April, of music, poetry and exhibitions.

The open day will end with a few key note speakers from some of the constituencies that ILRIG has worked with, with reflecting on the meaning on internationalism, then and now, and some of the challenges facing an organisation such as ILRIG.
       
This will be an opportunity for the staff, past and present, and friends of ILRIG, and for activists, to debate the nature and significance of internationalism in ILRIG’s history and the rise and nature of the global justice movement today.
