A march is organized from Swedens most southern city, Malmö, to the capital, Stockholm by asylum seekers to raise awereness around the issue of right to asylum. The march is planned to take a month, but will take on participants for a shorter amount of time as well.
The organizers are a bit worried of being bothered by far right and extreme right groups during the march and you are therefore invited to accompany the march, thus showing solidarity and providing a sense of security to the asylum seekers.
The basic idea is to join the march and provide a protective presence. Before the start of the march there will be efforts to provide a basic nonviolence training, it might be possible to do this for those joining the march along the way.
So if you are interested to know more details, or you are thinking of joining the march, please show your interest by sending an email to niclas.persson@lsu.se.
Practical details such as housing and food is still being worked out. For the timeschedule see http://www.asylstafetten.se/kommer-vi-till-din-stad/. Some possibilities being looked into are sleeping in tents or staying at churches along the way.

Följ med oss till Palestina och Israel i höst!
CPT Sverige
är mycket glada att kunna bjuda in till en svensk delegation, eller
studieresa till Palestina och Israel. Syftet med resan är dels att få en
större förståelse av situationen i området och hur det är att leva
under ockupation, dels att lära känna CPT’s visioner och arbetssätt. Vi
kommer att besöka Hebron, Jerusalem, Betlehem och palestinska byar. På
dessa platser träffar vi olika palestinska och israeliska aktivister som
arbetar för fred och rättvisa. Delegationen börjar 23 oktober och
slutar den 3 november. Priset för resan är $1 450, i skrivande stund
cirka 10 230 kr. I priset ingår logi, frukost och middag samt vissa
luncher och alla resor i Israel och Palestina. I priset ingår inte resan
till och från Israel och inte heller resa till och från flygplatsen i
Israel. Det är vår förhoppning att vi kan bli så många deltagare att vi
kan ha en svensktalande grupp. Om vi inte får det kommer vi att öppna
upp gruppen så att den blir engelsktalande som de flesta andra
delegationer. Ansökan till resan går genom CPT’s huvudkontor i Chicago
och görs på engelska. Du kan ladda ner ansökningshandlingar här. Vi vill ha din ansökan senast den 1 september.
Är
du intresserad av att så småningom arbeta som CPT:are så är en
delegation det första steget. Därefter har du möjlighet att söka till
den månadslånga träningen.
Christian Peacemaker Teams
(CPT) föddes ur en uppmaning till de som tror på Jesus som en kärlekens
och fredens furste att inte längre nöja sig med att predika ickevåld
till människor som lever i konfliktområden utan istället börja arbeta
praktiskt. Sedan slutet av 1980-talet har CPT arbetat på inbjudan av och
vid sidan av förtryckta grupper runt om i världen. CPT har haft team på
plats i Hebron sedan 1995.

You are welcome to join the third European regional meeting of CPT!
European Regional Meeting 2013 - Resisting Fortress Europe
Location: Västra Skrävlinge, Malmö, Sweden
Time: 9th-12th of May 2013
Partnering with nonviolent movements around the world, CPT seeks to embody an inclusive, ecumenical and diverse community of God's love. We believe we can transform war and occupation, our own lives, and the wider Christian world through: the nonviolent power of God's truth, partnership with local peacemakers and bold action. CPT places teams at the invitation of local peacemaking communities that are confronting situations of lethal conflict. These teams seek to follow God's Spirit as it works through local peacemakers who risk injury and death by waging nonviolent direct action to confront systems of violence and oppression. CPT enlists the whole Church in an organized, nonviolent alternative to war and a broad ecumenical network that supports: biblically based and spiritually-centered peacemaking, creative public witness, nonviolent direct action and protection of human rights.
May 2013 CPT will hold its third European meeting in Malmö, Sweden. The meeting is open to anyone interested in CPT and Christian nonviolence. It will give participants an introduction to CPT, the theology of nonviolence, practical nonviolence and an opportunity to take part in a public witness to highlight the consequences of European policy for refugees.
Since 1993 more than 16 000 migrant deaths have been documented along the European border. Causes of death include drowning, suffocation, hypothermia, suicide and minefields. The European borders are part of an increasingly sophisticated and militarized system to keep people from seeking refuge in Europe. The public witness will take part one week before Malmö hosts the European Song Contest themed “We are one” and we want to use this opportunity to show what it really means to embrace each other.
