Dreams. We all have them. But for so many, they have been kept out of reach. Guarded behind the impenetrable gates of injustice. Until now. We exist to break this cycle.

📢 DIGICHer – Digitisation of the cultural heritage of minority communities for equity and renewed engagement 👉 In February 2024 the project “Digitisation of cultural heritage of minority communities for equity and renewed engagement” (#DIGICHer) officially started, funded under #HorizonEurope. 👉The 36-month initiative is led by the VILNIUS TECH - Vilnius Gediminas Technical University 🇱🇹 together with 8 partners including our members Europeana and Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Time Machine Organisation is a supporting partner in this project, which aims at designing a new and practical framework that promotes #equity, #inclusion and #diversity in the representation of #digitalcultural content. 🙏 The framework will be developed collaboratively with representatives from three minority groups: the Sámi, the Jewish and the Ladin people, taking into account the legal, political, socio-economic and technological aspects of cultural heritage digitisation. 📖 The project partners will create knowledge-based recommendations for #policy and #decisionmakers, focussing on enhancing digitisation efforts for cultural heritage collections with an emphasis on improving equity, diversity and inclusion by placing #minority groups at the centre of the digitisation efforts. 📣 We, as Time Machine Organisation, are happy to support such a valuable initiative and will make sure to keep you all posted on the results of the project’s activities. 👉 More information 👇 https://lnkd.in/dMmqwD8q

Really pleased to see the launch of this project today, funded by IDRIC’s Impact Accelerator fund. This fund enables our projects to carry out further work to enhance impact within the industrial clusters. On the path to decarbonising UK industry, it is vital to obtain buy-in from local communities to enable a low-carbon industrial transition that can be considered just, credible, and legitimate. This project brings together the findings from three of our social science projects on issues of place, just transitions and social license. It will share guidelines and action plans for policymakers and cluster stakeholders in delivering a just, place-based industrial decarbonisation.

YERA Hub collaborated with the TDP Talent Development Program in Amsterdam to host a workshop that explored the remarkable journey behind YERA's success. Alina Friedrich, Co-Founder of YERA Hub, remarked: "We unveiled YERA's exceptional story, highlighting that our achievements are not only due to trust and hard work but also the confidence others have in our mission and the fortunate opportunities we've encountered. This combination has enabled us to become an organization dedicated to advocating for laws that protect people and the planet. During the workshop, we introduced our current research project: Rights of Nature, exemplified by the case of Mar Menor, and addressed some of the most pressing questions we aim to explore in our research." The workshop also delved into our latest research project, focusing on the Mar Menor case in Spain, and tackled critical questions such as: What are nature's interests? What are nature's rights? And how should nature be represented in court? Join us as we continue to explore these vital topics and work towards a future where laws safeguard both humanity and the environment. #Innovation #NGOSector #LegalAdvocacy #YERAHub #TDP #Sustainability #Research #NatureRights

“True change comes from empowering the grassroots” that’s not just our belief, it is our #Mission! To achieve what we believe in, #PANI has explored multiple collaborations and partnerships. One among such partnerships is our journey with Phicus. We embarked on this journey, slightly before the covid outbreak, not just to hire and train ground staff, but to transform them into #community #leaders— through our #award #winning model of Community Resource Persons (#CRPs). Our Director (Operations), Mr Deo Datt Singh, is talking about how this partnership has helped PANI improve its processes to engage frontline workers by staying flexible and learning along the way. He says, “Phicus didn’t just help us develop a recruitment system; they redefined how we approached community engagement. Together, we worked with 300 CRPs and 45 field staff, reaching over 70,000 farmers. But more than the numbers, it’s the long-term impact that stands out. Phicus is more than a partner; they are a companion, helping us stay relevant, flexible, and always focused on the bigger picture.” He goes on to state that: “This collaboration taught us that with the right partners, we can walk new paths and discover endless possibilities.” We are thankful to Phicus Social Solutions for being a true companion in our journey towards achieving our mission. A special thanks to Hindustan Unilever Foundation ( #HUF ) and Tata Trusts ( #TataTrusts ) for their continued support in this journey. #Collaborations & #Partnerships help in #Doing #Development at #Scale and #Learning to #Stay #Relevant #Community #Empowerment for #Community #Development #PeopleAtTheCenter #SocialImpact #Leadership #Innovations #Rural #Development

#Reflections As social sector professionals we all aspire for scale and one that can sustain on its own. A key enabler to this are our frontline cadres and field resources who take the message and processes on the ground. At #HUF we believe building agency of the frontline cadres together with knowledge and tools creates them beyond programme resource to true village and community resource. Once it's done scale and sustainability starts getting reflected. Investing in systems and processes at this level, not only builds processes for the given initiative but also for the orgnisation and then gradually to sector. These requires a fresh set of eyes and thinking and a lot of openness to reflect and assess. Listen to how PANI worked with Phicus Social Solutions and built processes for cadres. #JalAajAurKal #water
