The International Animal Rights Conference 2011 is a conference organized by activists of the animal rights movement for the animal rights movement. So, of course we are looking for animal rights advocates who wish to actively contribute as content providers. If you wish to contribute by giving a presentation or a workshop, please read on.
We would like to address all aspects of the animal rights work - both theoretical and practical. For the theoretical aspects the contributions will be in the form of presentations mainly whereas the practical aspects will most likely also include various workshops.
Presentations are set up so that first the speakers present their topics and afterwards there is time for questions from the audience. There are short presentations where there are approximately 30 minutes for the presentation and 20 minutes for the questions and long presentaions where there are approximately 50 minutes for the presentation and 30 minutes for the questions.
Workshops are intended to provide practical information of use in the animal rights work or about the vegan lifestyle. Workshops should provide approximately 35 minutes of information and then leave 20 minutes for questions from the audience.
Discussions are intended to collectively gather information of use in the animal rights work. Discussions should provide an introduction of about 10-15 minutes and then leave time to work on the topic for about 40 minutes.
Panel discussions are intended to present different view points about a certain topic and to discuss these different viewpoints.
All content provided at the conference is to be given in English, so to be able to contribute you need to be fluent in English. The only exception are small workshops that address a special area focusing on work in a certain country. Participants that give a presentation are required to provide us with the slides or notes of their presentation in English at least two weeks prior to the conference, since we will translate them into German and French.
Besides that we will only allow contributions from people engaged in the struggle to end animal exploitation - which means that contributors must be vegans. We will not allow any persons associated with religious sects (e.g. Universal Life) or right-winged groups (e.g. AG Tierrecht) to contribute in any form.
Unfortunately our budget does not permit us to cover the travel, food and lodging expenses for all participants. We offer the following:
