EENC: Stormy Times - Nature and Humans

Image
Stormy Times picture

In September, ahead  of the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development – MONDIACULT 2022, the European Commission released the report Stormy Times. Nature and humans: cultural courage for change by the Working Group of Member States’ experts. The document, prepared in collaboration with Rolf Weiss, Expert of the European Expert Network on Culture (EENC), focuses on the role of culture as a driver towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The experts formulated 11 messages to rethink the relationship between humans and nature to fuel our cultural imagination for a liveable, sustainable future. Some of the recommendations addressed in the report are:

  • the need for artists and cultural organisations to be fully involved in the implementation of the European Green Deal to achieve the changes in ways of living and thinking it requires;
  • the call for not one but five Earth Overshoot Day(s) per year for the protection of the planet’s natural resources to raise awareness;
  • the value of culture as a powerful tool to better communicate scientific knowledge on issues such as social injustice, inequalities, loss of biodiversity, lack of food security, climate change and others, addressed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The document is aimed at stakeholders and policymakers who have the power to implement these recommendations. As this Expert Group is overseen by the Council of the EU, most of the recommendations address issues at EU level.

General Information

Epojé is an association born from the result of a team of professionals from various areas who come together to develop educational and social intervention projects. We work mainly in 3 areas of intervention: literacy, arts and psychosocial support.
We work with the community in general, but we focus on two specific directions: direct work with children and young people and work with youth workers, teachers and educators.
We carry out training and mentoring courses, practical workshops both online and offline and artistic events

Mission and Objectives

- Achieve social equity by promoting the specific rights and interests of minorities and disadvantaged groups
- Raise awareness among the population of the need to achieve said social equity for adequate coexistence in society.
- Promote cultural diversity and fight for access to social and human rights that guarantee personal and social well-being.
- Promote active citizenship by encouraging the population to carry out their personal projects, always defending the values of respect and tolerance.
- Guide and connect people and entities that fight for human dignity through innovative methodologies and non-formal education, in order to unify efforts and enhance solidarity work.

Main Projects / Activities

Despite our short life, we can highlight some of our activities as more relevant to this
candidacy:
Organization of follow-up and multiplier activities of Erasmus projects: through our participation in
training courses and exchanges, we have been implementing several sessions with young people and colleagues from the association to transmit the knowledge learned and put it into practice.
Permanent literacy courses: we work in schools with difficult performance in which we teach reading and writing
Accompaniment and mentoring both professionally and personally. We deal with issues such as professional route planning, management of emotions in adolescence, resolution of family conflicts, etc...
Artistic workshops to master different painting techniques and the consequent use of the artistic results as educational, awareness and activism tool.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Epojé can contribute to the Anna Lindh Foundation's mission of promoting intercultural dialogue and cooperation in the Euro-Mediterranean region in several ways. First, consider participating in the foundation's programs and collaborating on projects that align with our expertise in literacy, arts, and psychosocial support. Share our best practices, insights, and success stories with the foundation and its network, especially in the context of training youth workers, teachers, and educators.

Additionally, actively engage with the foundation through events, advocacy efforts, and cultural exchange programs. Look for grant opportunities and funding calls to support our projects that promote social equity, cultural diversity, and active citizenship. Lastly, maintain a digital presence by participating in online discussions and forums related to intercultural dialogue. Our organization can make meaningful contributions to the Anna Lindh Foundation's goals and further the cause of fostering understanding and cooperation among diverse communities in the region.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Joining the Anna Lindh Foundation network offers several advantages for our organization, Epojé. Firstly, it provides access to a diverse and extensive community of organizations and experts in the Euro-Mediterranean region, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and learning opportunities. This network can amplify the impact of our initiatives, reaching a broader audience and increasing our influence in promoting intercultural dialogue, social equity, and cultural diversity.

Moreover, membership in the network facilitates resource sharing, including funding opportunities, research insights, and best practices, thereby enhancing our organization's capacity to implement effective educational and social intervention projects. It will also boost our organization's visibility and recognition, attracting potential partners and supporters who align with our mission. Additionally, being part of the network enables participation in advocacy efforts and policy discussions related to our field, giving us a platform to contribute to positive social change in the region.
