On June 15, 2025, a webinar was organised on the topic of NATO, Militarisation and Student Resistance, as part of the Educational Discussion of the Resist NATO campaign.
The organisers explained:
"NATO, a key driver of global conflict and colonisation, funnels resources into academic institutions to develop military technology and normalise endless war. Research grants, defence partnerships, and recruitment pipelines tie higher education directly to the machinery of destruction.
"Fascist regimes also know the power of students - that's why they work so hard to silence, divide, and control them. Those who dare speak out face repression, expulsions, even deportations.
"But silence is not an option. The youth are rising - not only for Palestine, but for justice and all peoples' struggle, against wars around the globe and academic complicity in them!
"This webinar featured speakers talking about the militarisation of education by NATO governments and the growing student and youth movement fighting for just peace against escalating wars of aggression."
