🥹Somedays I feel we haven't learn anything at all, I feel like we are savaging the Earth, the communities we live in & the humanity using hate as the primary emotion... but what is there left if we loose HOPE ❓️

📷 Today at the presentation of @ManifestaDotOrg 2024, @Anteverti by means of photographies forces us to reflect about the urban landscapes, the uses of public space, the urban sumbologies & their inhabitants, and the urban future of our planet 🌃🏙🌆🌇#citiestobe

🔭 Today exploring the links between decentralised cooperation, local democracy, decentralisation & territorial approach to local development (TALD) ♻️ There's a been for a new narrative & alliances re decentralised cooperation 🛣

✅️Local democracy quality is linked to public space. ✅️Gender equality is clearly linked to a free and fearless public space. ❎️There is a problem when "promotion" of fear is used as a form of oppression by certain actors. #ALDAFestival

🌐 In complex & uncertain times, we should keep our faith in democracy. #ALDAFestival lead by @ALDAeurope reminds us of the need of local democracy for global impact

🇪🇺 On the eve of Europe's Day @catalunyaeuropa proposes "The King of the Belgians" @Cinemes_Girona . A little treasure of naivety & Belgian humour which confronts us to our identities & European values.
