To the members of Decoloniality Europe

It is a pleasure to invite you once again to the most important event of the network as a whole: our annual meeting. This time, it will take place in Barcelona, and we will centre on discussing the problem of contemporary racism in Europe.



As we did in the last meeting, we will also discuss organisational aspects and the coordination of the network, among others concerning our webpage, the synchronisation of important events such as the Genocide Memorial Day, and the flow of information in relation to the listserve.
