Power, Exchange and Solidarity

The proliferation of volunteering for development (V4D) models, approaches and funding sources means V4D is no longer able to be neatly located within the third sector. The enormous diversity of interactions within the Youth V4D (YV4D) field provides an opportunity...

Fields of Activity
  1. Arts
General Information
Public Share Productions is a working plattform of a Berlin-based group of arstists, cultural managers & academics that opens itself to other collaborators & genres depending on specific projects. While all of us have been working together nationally & internationally in changing constellations for different projects of performing arts (interventions in public spaces, performances, installations, mixed-media), Public Share Productions is our umbrella to combine those ressources & develop new projects together from scratch with partnes in MENA-countries. With the aim to establish long-term relations with artists of (different) various fields from different (Arab) countries, we seek to enter an artistic exchange that will intersect and reflect the political, social and cultural contexts of our society as well as the other participating countries. For each project, we look for opportunities and changes for funding since we do not have any foundation or organization that generates income. For each project, we develop an individual funding plan that reflects our agility and general approach to equal collaborations.
Mission and Objectives

With our projects we aim to establish so-called “laboratories” that will facilitate the meeting and encounter between German and Arab artists & other actors of the cultural realm/sector, exchanging ideas, debating different theoretical approaches and developing shared ideas and projects for interventions in public space. Coming from different fields such as Performing Arts, Architecture, Dance and Academic fields such as Cultural and Postcolonial Studies we seek to bring together experts from different disciplines in order to generate exchange and mutual learning processes. We understand arts as an inclusive and political tool that invites people to get involved and take their share in political and social transformations.

Main Projects / Activities

One of our main aims is to establish long-term relations with partners from MENA, get to know their practices in and around the notion of public space and work together in joint collaborations.
Projects can revolve around the question of the importance and meaning of the public, its borders and transgressions and the implication of public space(s) for the Arab spring
Trade-marks of all our projects have been so far an will be in the future:
- Leaving the pre-defined spaces of art-production & consumption in favor of scenes & settings of the everyday & its own surprises
- Crossing the boundaries between genres of performance, media, music
- Developing site-specific works with & for many different communities that often do not receive high visibility in art
- Producing discurses as an integral part of performative projects
- Collaborating with specialists & theoreticians from all kinds of fields that may be relevant for a chosen topic
establish long-term relations with partners from MENA, get to know their practices in and around the notion of public space
Projects can revolve around the question of the importance and meaning of the public, its borders and transgressions and the implication of public space(s) for the Arab spring.
For the years 2014/15 we are working on „COMMON SPACES“: A series of travelling artist-labs that will settle in temporary camps in Amman, Casablanca & Berlin. With a group of artists whose practices are based in one of the coop-cities we will research & develop works for public spaces. Fluid interventions & collective manipulations/irritations that pose questions & collect material to be taken along the journey & placed somewhere else again. Mapping the state of the „common“ - this sphere where people generate public, where ressources belong to the community & a vivid society is built around common issues.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Since we are already working in and about the Arab world since the year 2010, our project-team is very well connected in some MENA countries, such as Jordan, Palestine, Morocco, Libanon and Iran. We have established important contacts and networks with individuals and organizations in those countries which we are very willing to share with people. Moreover, we are very much involved in the political and cultural scene here in Germany and we know many institutions and organizations who can contribute to a fruitful exchange between Germany and the Middle East and who could help us to promote the work and aims of the Anna Lindh Network in Germany.
Last but not least, one of our major activities is to organize public events such as urban interventions, performances, lectures and workshops with our partners from Arab countries in which we reach out to a broad public audience and in which we can and want to promote the goals of the Anna Lindh Network.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We would like to be part of the Anna Lindh network because we see it as a great chance and opportunity to connect us with the political, social and cultural actors who are involved in and between countries of the Mediterranean an the Middle and Near East. We do believe in an equal and dialogue-oriented approach between "Europe" and the "Arab world", which the Anna Lindh network helps to promote. Equally, we are convinced of the importance of a connection to other German and European countries which are interested in working in the MENA-region, so getting connected and sharing thoughts, ideas and projects is one of our biggest aims.

General Information
Radijojo World Children's Radio Network (in brief: WCRN) is an initiative empowering children to use radio and internet as tools for global learning and cultural exchange. It cooperates with schools, community radios, education, youth and culture organisations worldwide. Partners are organizations like UNESCO, UNICEF, One Laptop Per Child, Pacifica Radio and the network of young producers within the Public Radio Exchange. Unfortunately, so far only our work in the Northern Hemisphere have found funding. All our activities in the South rely on voluntary work. Examples of programmes/projects: An interview with the UN messenger for Peace Jane Goodall, conducted by Mina (9) und Jonathan (13) with questions collected from kids from the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Thailand, Germany and the US. The Radijojo-series 'We are Discovering the World' explores how kids in Asia, Africa, South America actually live and establishes active partnerships between participating schools.
Mission and Objectives

WCRN transfers media based education to marginalized children. We see that the Right of Children Declaration does explicitly demand the support of international exchange between children, to enable them to inform themselves and to have access to child-friendly media is NOT fulfilled, not in one single country worldwide. Non-profit, educational and advertising-free media for children by children is not a “nice-to-have”. It is a must – and should therefore be well-established and sustainably financed by national governments, municipality and international organizations to end the constant violation of UN Children's Rights.
