OVERVIEW

The Annual Meeting of our international network will bring us together to review our work, assess what we have learned from the actions around the NATO Summit in Ankara, and agree on concrete priorities for the coming year. We will discuss how to strengthen the No to War – No to NATO network, expand cooperation with social movements, and respond to growing militarisation with a clear common security agenda. Together, we will plan upcoming campaigns, webinars, conferences, and activities around the next NATO Summit in Tirana. We will also discuss a possible peace conference in 2027. The meeting will conclude with International Coordinating Committee (ICC) elections and clear next steps.
