#JournalistsGrants~ Journalists worldwide can apply for reporting grants. The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ)  is offering the program Boost: Reporting Grants for Journalists. The reporting grants program is designed to expand ICFJ’s offering to its global network by introducing individual reporting grants for projects that might not fit under existing programs. The first call for applications is focused on climate and climate change. ICFJ is looking for high-quality reporting that explores this topic in the Global South. Grants ranging from US$2,000 to US$3,000 will be awarded to at least two winning proposals. 📅 ~The deadline is Nov. 1. https://lnkd.in/dHkedRgz #mediasustainability #journalists #opportunities #grants #climatechange #apply #share

Macro-regional & Sea Basin Strategies Days 2024 For the first time this year, the EU MRS Week is turning into the EU Macro-regional and Sea Basin Strategies Days, co-organised by DG REGIO and DG MARE! On 12 and 13 June 2024, at THE EGG, the seven strategies (Alpine, Danube, Adriatic-Ionian, Baltic Sea, Atlantic, Western Mediterranean and Black Sea) will encounter each other’s during a two-day event in Brussels. The event will serve as a communication and networking platform, enhancing coordination among participating countries, pillars coordinators, stakeholders, presidencies and representatives of the EU institutions. Following the slogan #Strategies4cooperation, the event will focus on different thematic, all of them relevant to the seven strategies, with the main aim of exchanging knowledge, creating new synergies and reinforcing old ones. Five parallel interactive workshops will take place during the afternoon of the first day, focusing on the following themes: Enlargement, Climate Change, Clusters and Innovation, Embedding and Civil Societies engagement. Opening and closing of the event will see the participation of Elisa Ferreira, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Themis Christophidou, Director General for DG REGIO, and Charlina Vitcheva, Director General for DG MARE.

So happy to have collaborated on this article, which looks at what the EU Mission Ocean and Waters wants to achieve with citizen participation, the possible challenges, and how to solve them. You can read it here: https://lnkd.in/gi_RFvtf

Very relevant indeed, many thanks #prep4blue David Whyte Quite some nice challenges in bringing #citizenparticipation #OceanLiteracy #social #inclusivity forward under #MissionOcean. Including: 🌊 Clarifying the type of #citizenparticipation (with whom, how and with which objective) relevant/necessary for different types of projects and initiatives (supporting projects, CSA - transversal and LightHouses, IA...) => do not ask everybody to do everything as this leads to counterproductive outcomes; 🌊 providing mechanisms to avoid fragmentation and duplication, ensuring effective #synergies and complementarities between #citizenparticipation activities organised at different levels of the #MissionOcean organisation (note: the same apply to #outreach #communication => see the number of #LinkedIn #websites of projects addressing similar topics with very limited audiences and impact...); 🌊 ensuring sound #citizenmobilisation #expertise, giving it space into project's governance, processes and activities; 🌊 setting synergies with parallel organisations and processes (e.g. #youth #networks, networks of stakeholders) to amplify outreach and impacts; 🌊 accompany changes in #mindset of #MissionOcean community so #StakeholderMobilisation #citizenengagement #inclusivity #social are never "tick the box" buzzwords (or nice panel discussions at key events) but effectively used and applied in their essence.... In relation to synergies, the #EU4ocean and its 1000+ members have a role to play as #OceanLiteracy #mobilisation #inclusivity #BlueCitizenship is central to our work and to the support we - Olga Mashkina Nathalie Van Isacker Anna Maria Marino Guillaume Lheureux Evy Copejans Ana Noronha Mikaela Martirosyan Sudhanshu Verma Molly Wingate Laura Bastide Lavinia Giulia Pomarico Lisa Picatto Willem De Moor Thorsten Kiefer Dina Eparkhina Tomasz Rusek Ruth Higgins Sara Granchinho Agueda Gras-Velazquez Ivana Kovac Josephine Hannay to name the ones most closely associated - provide to the coalition. We need to explore how best to strengthen synergies and collaboration between #MissionOcean key players and #EU4Ocean (some players being on both sides ☺️ ) so we can together contribute more effectively to strengthening #OceanLiteracy #Citizenmobilisation #Inclusivity #BlueCitizenship in the #EU.

Our PREP4BLUE article "Planning for citizen participation in the EU Mission to Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030" has just been published in Maritime Studies! Read it through this link: https://lnkd.in/gi_RFvtf We sought to study what the EU's "Mission Ocean & Waters" wants to achieve in relation to citizen participation, what the potential barriers might be, and how they might be overcome. We found that what Mission Ocean & Waters is trying to achieve is quite unique. It is superficially an environmental project, but the way it tries to achieve its aims – e.g. by establishing deliberative democratic initiatives, increasing social inclusion through its activities, and working with the European Investment Bank to unlock funding for marine restoration – make it potentially as much a political, social and economic transformation as an environmental. However, there are potential barriers to these transformations and they certainly can’t be taken for granted simply through the existence of the Mission Ocean & Waters framework. Our research suggests that between now and 2030, the Mission should focus on the following to ensure it achieves its citizen participation goals: (1) Increasing social inclusion and avoiding tokenism, (2) Increasing ocean literacy and Mission awareness, (3) Addressing disparities across the EU in formal ways for citizens to participate in policymaking, and (4) Strengthening aquatic citizen science. #MissionOcean #citizenparticipation
