Counter NATO! Workcamp – Support the Peace Movement in The Hague

As NATO prepares for its annual summit in The Hague, a coalition of peace organizations, along with the No-to-NATO network, will organize a Counter-NATO Summit and Demonstration on June 21-22. This event aims to promote peace, demilitarization, and alternatives to NATO’s strategies. VIA-NL is supporting the summit by hosting a logistical support camp for international volunteers.

  • Support publicity efforts, including writing international press releases
  • Participate in creative actions
  • Act as venue guardians, monitoring event halls
  • Assist with meals, the information desk, and general logistics
