Am 03. Juli 2026 öffnet das Berlin Global Village im Rahmen der GLOBALE seine Türen. Das Festival bringt Künstler*innen, Initiativen und die Nachbarschaft zusammen und lädt dazu ein, neue Perspektiven kennenzulernen, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen und gemeinsam einen sommerlichen Tag in Neukölln zu verbringen.

WEED und andere Organisationen werden sich an verschiedenen Ständen vorstellen.

Bei diesem Fachgespräch werden Verena Kröss (WEED) und andere Expert*innen über die Ursachen der hohen Kapitalkosten des Globalen Südens diskutieren und wichtige Reformen der internationalen Finanzarchitektur sowie mögliche Lösungsansätze, mit besonderem Fokus auf die Rolle Deutschlands besprechen.

Gabes, a coastal oasis in Southern Tunisia is drowning in pollution. A chemical complex, transforming phosphate into fertilizer and animal feed heavily pollutes the surrounding environment and its inhabitants. Nonetheless, European companies continue being among the main clients of the highly-sought for phosphate, crucial for industrial agriculture. This film explores the environmental impacts of the phosphate industry, its extractivist nature and the increasing repression of activists fighting against the pollution.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, featuring our speaker Julia Albrecht (WEED), Policy Officer for Resource Justice.

Land, water, and traditional seeds are the lifeline of millions of people— particularly women, who serve as the primary guardians of food sovereignty. Yet, in West Africa, they are increasingly threatened by land grabbing and extractive economic models that marginalize women’s traditional land rights. Strong social and feminist movements are active in many West African countries, opposing these injustices and building alternatives based on solidarity—locally, regionally, and internationally.

We warmly invite you to this event that highlights struggles for land rights and feminist struggles in West Africa and focuses on international solidarity and global movement work. Our guest is Burry Tunkara, an activist from Gambia and a member of the organizing team for the 2026 World Social Forum in Cotonou. Resilience is more than survival and to that note Burry will share accounts of the struggle against land grabbing, the importance of gender justice in these struggles, how local and regional alliances have emerged, and the role that international networking and solidarity play in this process.
