More on the CEVA workshop:
The Center for Effective Vegan Advocacy (CEVA) aims to increase the impact of vegan advocacy worldwide. CEVA is a programme of Beyond Carnism, a charitable organisation dedicated to exposing and transforming carnism, the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals. CEVA aims to empower the vegan movement by empowering advocates and organisations. Through offering on-site trainings, organisational consulting, grants to qualifying organisations, and a strategy resource centre, they seek to increase the effectiveness of vegans and vegan organisations and therefore to increase the impact of the vegan movement as a whole.

More on Dr Melanie's talk 'Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows':
In this captivating talk, based on her award-winning book 'Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows', Internationally acclaimed speaker Dr. Melanie Joy, a social psychologist, explains carnism, the invisible belief system that shapes our perceptions of the meat (and eggs/dairy) we eat, so that we love some animals and eat others without knowing why. Joy describes how carnism, like other “isms” (sexism, racism, etc.), is most harmful when it is unrecognized, and it is maintained by social and psychological defence mechanisms. Using powerful imagery, thought-provoking analyses, and a compelling narrative, Joy explains the ways carnism conditions us to unknowingly act against our core values, our own interests, and the interests of others. By illuminating the invisible mechanisms of carnism, Joy helps viewers become more informed consumers and empowered citizens.
