A Year for the Animals 2019 (Ett år för djuren 2019) is a project where I, Martin Smedjeback, work full-time for a year for animal rights. I ran the same project in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Then I lectured and held workshops in animal rights, I handed out leaflets, took photos and videos filmed, I wrote articles and blogg posts, I freed animals, campaigned outside of slaughterhouses and many other activities. My goal is work with others to make tomorrow a better place for as many animals as possible. The project is taking place in Sweden and mainly in Swedish, but I also do activities abroad like do interviews and film activists.
I have been a nonviolence facilitator and peace activist since 2001. Before that I took a bachelor's degree in psychology. I have held nonviolence workshops in Sudan, South Sudan, Colombia, Israel/Palestine, USA, Great Britain and Sweden. I also write articles about nonviolence, peace, weapons export and on other topics. Since then my interest for animal rights have increased. Before this project I toured Sweden holding a lecture called Why we love dogs, eat pigs and wear cows, based on the research of the psychologist and author Melanie Joy. Here is some information in English about my company and about the Gandhi community where I live. Here are some articles of and about me in English.
Here are some voices on who Martin is.
