A Year for the Animals 2017 (Ett år för djuren 2017) is a project where I, Martin Smedjeback, work full-time for a year for animal rights. I ran the same project in 2015 and 2016. 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 and many other activities. My goal is to learn how we can find inspiration and new skills in animal rights activism. The project is taking place in Sweden and mainly in Swedish, but I hope to be able to interview and film activists from abroad as well.
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 and Sweden. I also write articles about nonviolence, peace, weapons export and on other topics. Lately my interest for animal rights have increased. The last four years I've 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.
