Summer course: Gaza and Colombia. Hunger as a weapon of war, food security as a path to peace (Donostia, 8 and 9 September)

The use of hunger as a weapon of war has been a persistent tactic throughout history. Food insecurity and the lack of access to essential services have been shown to play a critical role in the proliferation of violence and conflict. Since 2015, global hunger has continued to rise, with acute food insecurity posing a particularly serious challenge. According to the most recent figures (2023), it affects 282 million people, at least 60% of whom live in areas of conflict and extreme violence.

Through the “TopaGune” format, the course will feature facilitators specialised in citizen participation, giving it a highly participatory and collaborative focus. This summer course offers participants a thorough, accessible and action-oriented analysis, encouraging active involvement from public institutions (at international, national, regional and local levels), academia, students, civil society and the general public.
