OUR VOICES – OUR PLANET II

International Event Series on Democracy, Sustainability and Feminism

Project duration: 01.01.2024-30.06.2025

The project OUR VOICES - OUR PLANET II aimed to strengthen the exchange between civil society educators and multipliers from the Global South and North on the interconnected themes of democracy and sustainability. It provided a platform for shared global learning by incorporating feminist, intersectional and power-critical perspectives.

Training and Capacity Building for Multipliers
To support educators and facilitators, the project offered training for multipliers. These sessions provided practical tools and didactic approaches to strengthen education work on project topics across diverse global contexts.

Regular Online Exchange Across Continents
Every two months, a two-hour online meeting was held, bringing together interested individuals from the Global North and South. These meetings served as informal spaces for dialogue, learning, and networking among educators, activists, and development practitioners. These Learn2Change online talks will continue beyond the end of the project.

Public Events for Broader Outreach
The project also addressed a wider audience: five public events focus on current topics at the intersection of democracy, sustainability and feminism. Topics were feminist development policy, climate justice, the rights of nature, etc. These were aimed at (young) adults beyond formal educational contexts, sparking engagement and critical thought.

Online Conferences on the Future of Educational Partnerships
In addition, the project hosted a four-part online conference series titled "Shaping.Future.Together. Online Conference on Collaboration in International Education Partnerships for Democracy and Sustainability".  It opened a space for participants from the Global South and North to reflect on how their joint educational work should evolve in response to global challenges.
