Global Interactions - Civil Society

Objective: create a Venn diagram that shows the contrasting role of Civil Society in global interactions.

Outcomes:

Starter: what links these pictures?

1. The role of local and civil society in global interactions can be catagorised as follows;

Resistance e.g.

• rejection of globalized production, including campaigns against TNCs and in favour of local sourcing of food and goods by citizens

• rise of anti-immigration movements

Promotion e.g.

• social media use and campaigning for internet freedom

• challenging restricted freedoms

If you can, work in a pair to focus on one of these aspects (Promotion or Resistance) to construct a Venn, outlined below.

If you are absent, make your own.

2. Working with a partner, research two detailed examples of places where restricted freedoms have been / are being challenged.

Here are a potential examples you could use:

COVID Lockdown Challenge - UK

COVID Protests - Germany

COVID Riots - Netherlands

PLENARY: Consider the 3Y's about this issue.....
