{{Anarchism sidebar |History}}

'''Provo''' was a Dutch [[counterculture]] [[cultural movement|movement]] in the mid-1960s that focused on provoking violent responses from authorities using non-violent bait. It was preceded by the [[nozem]] movement and followed by the [[hippie]] movement. Provo was founded, on 25 May 1965, by [[Robert Jasper Grootveld]], an anti-smoking activist, and the [[anarchists]] [[Roel van Duijn]] and Rob Stolk. The term was used for the movement as a whole and for individual members. Provo was officially disbanded on 13 May 1967.
