From September 2025 to June 2026, the IETM Green School will give the floor to exceptional voices and projects which we find innovative in nature and very relevant to the diverse and progressive IETM membership.
To kick off we invited Kumi Naidoo, South African human rights and environmental justice activist to join us online on Wednesday 17 September at 13:00 - 14:00 CEST (calculate your time zone).
As a fifteen year old, Kumi became an activist against the South-African apartheid regime, which pushed him into exile. He became the first Global South Executive Director of Greenpeace International (2009-2015) and Secretary-General of Amnesty International (2018-2020). Today, Kumi is the President of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty campaign, which is supported by a network of over 3.997 civic organisations world wide.
In his keynote, Kumi explored the dynamic intersections of the arts and activism in climate justice.
How can the immersive experience of arts and culture be harnessed to move people to make sense of issues and take action? And what do you want to learn about art as activism and creative resistance?
IETM Green School
The IETM Green School offers all IETM members inspiration and practical and progressive knowledge. The 2025 Edition will showcase artistic projects and initiatives which IETM member organisations have created and achieved, projects which are exemplary in nature and extremely well suited for the peer-to-peer learning we hold high.
