Cooperation and Development Network Eastern Europe AISBL (CDN) is a network of 16 Green youth organisations in Eastern Europe, six of which are based in EUROMED countries. We also have six partner organisations, all of which are based in EUROMED countries. Our geographical scope of work is South-Eastern Europe, Turkey, the South Caucasus, as well as other post-Soviet countries. CDN has two half-time employees doing administrative work and project management. Our yearly budget is about 35 000 €, most of which comes from a foundation called Green Forum Sweden and from the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe. We mainly organise educational and networking projects, in close cooperation with the Federation of Young European Greens as well as with different civil society actors in Eastern Europe.
Our main aim is to gather young Greens, to provide them with a space for cooperation in an intercultural environment, and to support the development of their personal skills as well as their organisations. We work on a broad range of topics, such as human rights, democracy, gender equality, ecology, social issues, economy and non-violence. With our activities we aim at consolidating a network of Green youth organisations that have a strong impact on their communities as well as internationally. We believe that tomorrow's ecological, social and democratic challenges must be addressed by today's youth and that concrete and sustainable action must be taken.
We organise educational and networking activites like seminars, study sessions and summer camps on various topics that are close to Green youth organisations, such as gender, non-violence, Green economy, youth culture, ecology, etc. We also organise trainings for our member organisations and their members, recently focusing on topics related to organisational management and intercultural learning but planning to also organise more political trainings, with topics such as campaigning and communcation. A third group of activities is planned for next fall – regional meetings. The aim is to gather young Green activists from a given region (South-Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus) to discuss a political topic that is important in the region and develop an action plan for cooperation.

Notre organisation fonctionne sous forme d'une ASBL avec 10 salariés, disposant d'un budget annuel de 150.000 euros provenant de l'autofinancement, des subventions nationales et des subventions européennes. Les principales sources de financement sont diversifiées pour appuyer les actions de l'organisation, qui se concentrent sur la mise en place de projets locaux via des incubateurs identifiant les besoins des communautés et développant des écosystèmes pour soutenir les entrepreneurs. Ces projets sont ensuite utilisés pour former des consortiums belges, européens ou africains dans le but de mettre en œuvre des initiatives concrètes. De plus, au niveau européen et international, l'organisation collabore avec différents partenaires pour promouvoir les industries créatives et soutenir l'entrepreneuriat social et l'innovation. Son engagement envers le développement durable se traduit par des actions visant à renforcer les entrepreneurs créatifs et sociaux, en particulier dans le cadre de projets internationaux, dont la création de Just Impact, une ONG soutenant l'entrepreneuriat féminin dans les industries culturelles et créatives. Les partenaires de l'organisation, diversifiés en fonction de ses branches d'activités, contribuent à la réalisation de ses projets et activités.
Creative District conseille, développe et promeut des initiatives dans les industries créatives et culturelles et l’innovation sociale pour un impact durable. L’organisation agit en synergie avec les acteurs publics, sociaux, éducatifs et économiques en Belgique et à l’étranger.
Creative District poursuit son objectif en :
- Soutenant le développement d’une économie créative en favorisant l’accès à l’entrepreneuriat ;
- Encourageant les échanges entre les institutions et les acteurs des industries créatives et culturelles, ainsi qu’entre les secteurs public et privé ;
- Renforçant le développement durable de manière humaine et innovante.
Nos projets locaux (INCUBATEUR) consistent à identifier les besoins des communautés en créant et en gérant des écosystèmes pour soutenir les entrepreneurs et développer des projets citoyens. Nous utilisons ces besoins dans un processus bottom-up pour développer des consortiums belges, européens ou africains en vue de la mise en œuvre de projets. Les résultats de ces projets (HUB) tels que les méthodologies, boîtes à outils, etc., sont ensuite utilisés par les communautés lors de la mise en œuvre sur le terrain, ce qui constitue ce que nous appelons la démocratisation des théories.
- INCUBATEURS:
Nos incubateurs, tels que ROGIER et Innovation4society, se concentrent sur le développement d'écosystèmes locaux, le soutien aux entrepreneurs des industries créatives et culturelles, ainsi que sur l'innovation sociale en identifiant les besoins des communautés et en mettant en œuvre des actions et des projets axés sur l'innovation.
- HUB:
Au niveau européen, Creative District collabore avec divers partenaires de différents pays européens pour promouvoir les industries créatives, l'entrepreneuriat social, l'innovation et le développement durable. L'organisation s'engage dans des activités visant la durabilité, la conception collective et participative, et accompagne les entrepreneurs créatifs et sociaux vers la durabilité. À l'échelle internationale, Creative District est actif dans plusieurs pays africains et a notamment créé Just Impact, une ONG spécialisée dans l'incubation et l'innovation pour soutenir l'entrepreneuriat féminin des industries culturelles et créatives.
On est en mesure de contribuer au Réseau en Belgique en identifiant les besoins des communautés locales et en créant et gérant des écosystèmes, ainsi qu'en soutenant les entrepreneurs des industries créatives et culturelles et de l'innovation sociale. En développant des projets citoyens basés sur les besoins identifiés, on peut collaborer avec d'autres acteurs pour mettre en place des consortiums belges, européens ou africains visant à concrétiser ces projets. En outre, en partageant les résultats, les méthodologies et les boîtes à outils issus de ces projets, on pourra contribuer de manière significative à la démocratisation des théories et à l'avancement des objectifs du Réseau Anna Lindh.
On souhaite rejoindre le Réseau de la FAL pour échanger des expériences et des bonnes pratiques avec d'autres acteurs engagés dans le développement communautaire et la promotion de la diversité culturelle. En participant à ce réseau, on pourra élargir nos connaissances, renforcer nos collaborations et contribuer de manière plus efficace à des projets et initiatives visant à favoriser le dialogue interculturel et la coopération entre les pays membres.
Le 1er mars a vu le lancement du projet d'Europe Creative intitulé La Nomad House, qui est une tournée transnationale.
Tel un véritable centre culturel itinérant européen, la Nomad House est le résultat final d’un long parcours de création artistique et de recherches scientifiques autour de la question migratoire. En Europe, il est urgent de faire entendre ce cri d’injustice qui résonne plus que jamais au sein de nos sociétés. Ce projet souhaite faire résonner ces voix à travers une toute nouvelle création théâtrale.
Six pays sont impliqués dans le projet : la Tunisie, l'Italie, la Grèce, la France, l'Allemagne et la Belgique. Chaque pays est représenté par une association partenaire, dont deux sont à la tête du réseau Anna Lindh ; pour la Tunisie, il s'agit de We Love Sousse et pour la Belgique, de Les Nouveaux Disparus.
S'étalant sur 18 mois, le projet est divisé en 2 phases. La première phase comprend des ateliers dans différentes disciplines artistiques donnés dans chaque pays à des personnes locales et à des migrants. Ces ateliers et ce projet deviendront une plateforme pour faire entendre la voix des migrants. La deuxième phase est une tournée transnationale où La Nomad House devient un centre culturel mobile avec une création théâtrale, un souk associatif dans lequel les associations locales peuvent participer, et des conférences et débats sur le thème de la migration en collaboration avec des politiciens, des universitaires, des migrants, des organisations.
