Srdja Popovic, an internationally known activist, will discus the importance of unity, planning and discipline in successfully toppling dictatorships. He will also explain differences between "complete" and "incomplete" revolutions. Finally, he will elaborate on how different methods like the use of the Internet, humor, slogans and choosing battles which you can win can contribute to nonviolent revolution.

Popovic was one of the founders and key organizers of the Serbian nonviolent resistance group Otpor that helped to unseat Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic. In 2003, Popovic and other ex-Otpor activists started the non-profit educational Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS).
