REARM Europe, the Myth of a European Defence for Peace, 7 May at 5.30pm

As an organisation, grassroots movement or activist fighting for a better world, are you concerned about the exponential rise in military spending and its negative impact on your area of work? So are we!

The European Network Against Arms Trade invites you to an online event as part of the Global Days Against Military Spending (GDAMS 2025) to learn about the latest developments, discuss how the European military spending and rearmament plan will exacerbate the global arms race and fuel conflicts, and how civil society can mobilise against European militarisation.


The event will start with short presentations by Laëtitia Sédou (ENAAT), Roy Isbister (Saferworld), Sam Perlo-Freeman (CAAT UK) & Rhona Michie (Shadow world Investigations and editor of ‘Monstrous anger of the guns – How the Global Arms Trade is Ruining the World and What We Can Do About It’), followed by a debate with the audience

The event will be streamed live on Facebook and YouTube: register on our event page or set your notification on YouTube

When: on Wednesday 07 May, 5:30 to 7pm CET (Brussels/Berlin time)
