I definitely haven't lost hope for Turkey's future. I don't think we are helpless when it comes to democracy, human rights, genuine equality, and true justice in Turkey. By staying away from violence, we can engage in works in dozens of different areas, including art, sports, academia, and science. We can show solidarity with each other. Let's focus on solutions rather than drowning in Turkey's problems. In this century, when the world even plans to go to Mars, Turkey is not doomed to be a prisoner of populism! https://lnkd.in/gkS4qhaS

We are from The ViZion Communications Group, and we are the creators of the Pan Afrikan Comix 2085 Series. We create Art through various comic books to teach, inspire and invoke dialogue amongst the youth and future leaders of our country. The most central initiative of our projects is to learn with reading and debating. Such an initiative has never been more imperative, for we are living in a time where every day, we come across snippets of our stolen and erased history and heritage. Our intent is to unite as many people as possible under one cause. It begins with telling our history, good or bad, favorable, or unfavourable, because we know that it is the reason that we stand where we currently stand. Before we can build a system and an institution that will ensure the prosperity of all Africans, we must acknowledge our past and honour those whose blood was spilt for the flawed freedom we have today. In the end, we hope that lawmakers and good citizens will stand together and balance the scale of power, freedom and will. That no race will dominate another and the right to self-determination will be protected from external infringement. https://lnkd.in/d37_hh-x

Opening of the EU Disinfo 2024 The summary of the first session on the ongoing elections globally (EU, in the US, in India,...) this year headed towards #FIMI as central threat to democracy. One first way to counter disinformation is to go beyond the perspective of nations to the perspective of democracies as one of the panelists stated and to think about the psychological roots - the emotions that drive people to spread or believe in disinformation. #FIMI #Disinfo2024 #election #cepolis

Forwarded from Marco Alexander (https://lnkd.in/e48N-KWV): 🔴 New video of C4I Italy *European Observatory: Ireland and Palestinism.* In this video, hosts Eugene Doyle and Marco Alexander explore anti-Semitism in Europe, focusing specifically on Ireland. The resurgence of anti-Semitism on the continent has been fueled by discriminatory platitudes and has surged in anti-Semitic acts since the October 7 Hamas attack. Ireland, along with Spain and Norway, officially recognized Palestine as a state on May 28. Ireland's attitudes toward Israel and the political and social implications of those attitudes will be explored in this video. https://lnkd.in/ebbb5VF8
