General Information

Frauenliga is a public non-profit organization. The government of East Belgium subsidizes our projects and events. The size of the budget depends on the project or event, as we have to apply for a subsidy for each activity separately. We accept small donations from our members that consist of 30€ a year per person. Currently our team consists of six employees and about ten volunteers. The volunteer numbers may vary depending on the project(s) we are working on. We organize feminist-themed campaigns, events, courses and offer help and meeting points for families and women. We have two ongoing campaigns: a campaign against gender-based violence and Equal Porn campaign. The second campaign focuses on sexual orientation, education and destigmatization of sexual preferences. We cooperate with our local government, NGO's and NPO's such as Spectrum Vog, Miteinanderteilen, Landfrauenverband, Patchwork, Viertelhaus Cardijn, Info Integration and many more.

Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to strengthen women’s rights through educational work by and with women. We support women in their development towards a self-determined life and financial independence. For that, we rely on the strengths and opportunities that every woman has within her. The legal situation is very clear: Equal opportunities between women and men are mandatory. But women are still disadvantaged in real life. That is why we need feminism, a movement for the social, political and economic equality of women. Feminism questions the existing roles and reveals sexism in the media, everyday life and at work. As a literal “women’s league”, Frauenliga is part of this movement. We help shape our environment and get involved – towards an equal, solidary and just society. We put great value to the methods we work with: the educational feminist approach helps us to demand and implement changes concerning gender roles, empowerment strengthens autonomy and self-determination, the “aide mutuelle” method initiates empowering group processes and outreach educational work provides simple access to our offers. In this way, everyone can benefit, and we can make a difference together.

Main Projects / Activities

As mentioned above, we have two ongoing campaigns: a campaign against gender-based violence and Equal Porn campaign. The second campaign focuses on sexual orientation, education and destigmatization of sexual preferences. Two times a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we offer help with schoolwork to primary school students and offer childcare services. We have multiple groups for women. During group gatherings we offer various workshops, information exchange, excursions and other leisure activities free of charge. Our courses consist of musical education for children and parents (choir practice and piano), language courses (Arab for children and German for beginners), wellness during menstruation cycle, massage for babies and many more.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We would like to offer our expertise and experience to the ALF Network. We are open for new cooperations and challenges. Please do not hesitate to contact us about your projects and ideas.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

As an Erasmus+ accredited institution we are very enthousiastic in buidling connections across the borders and exchange experiences with other organizations. Campaigning for equal rights, diversity and inclusiveness is our main goal and we would be delighted to collaborate with organizations that share our ideals.

GATHERING SPELLS

"How can just, trans-local networks be cultivated sustainably in an era of hypernationalist rhetoric and urgent energy transition? And in terms of a just energy transition, how could the increasing dependence on digital infrastructure for promoting artists and exhibiting art align with the sector's significant carbon footprint? How does increasing online circulation of art and the globalisation of culture impact precarious cultural producers and marginalised sites of artistic production? These questions, along with the answers received from the survey will become the building blocks for “Gathering spells”.

“Gathering spells” is the title of the second online educational program that will be built based on the survey completed by two hundred cultural and contemporary arts organisations, developed in collaboration with sociologist Bernardo Armanni. The survey departs from the multifaceted difficulties and responsibilities cultural organisations face across Europe and the transMediterranean today. "Gathering spells" is building a participatory educational platform for fifty cultural agents who wish to contribute to local socio-ecological transformation and trans-local solidarity through their organisations.

Cultural operators, art workers, institutional and independent professionals who are interested in, or with experience in the programs’ themes are encouraged to apply.

Amount of employees: 4 Budgetary resources available in a year: € 80,000 - €120,000 Sources of funding: crowdfunding, private funding, foundations Modalities of action: dialogue projects, workshops, webinars, summer academies, debriefings Main partners involved in the organization's projects/activities: The Imagine Center for Conflict Transformation

Mission and Objectives

Vision GN4C strives for peace through empowerment of human beings and their social cohesion in conflict-‐riddled regions. Mission Through the organization of inclusive dialogues, GN4C creates the space and time for genuine people-to‐people communication and cooperation. Through the organization of capacity‐building workshops and conflict transformation trainings, GN4C provides insight, expertise and resources to local peace-builders and other conflict related actors according to locally determined needs and priorities. Through the support of educational and research activities, GN4C ensures a neutral flow of information contributing to the plurality of perspectives on the conflict. Through networking, partnering up with and supporting other organizations and associations, GN4C maximizes the synergetic potential among organizations that share a like-minded vision. Through the participation in and promotion of public discussions, GN4C works towards contributing to progressive and socially constructive policy change that alleviates the debilitating effects on civil societies immersed in conflict. By engaging in these activities in an inclusive, conflict‐sensitive, locally-led, peaceful and respectful way, GN4C answers to local demands expressed by anyone in a conflict or post‐conflict zone who may also be member of any kind of organization, government, institution or company.

Main Projects / Activities

Currently, GN4C is working to realize three projects: Supporting Civic Dialogue in Syria: the aim of the project is to develop a sustainable network of activists across Syria with a shared vision and action plan for initiating the transformation of the conflict in Syria. The specific objectives of the proposed project include: • to develop an inclusive network of peace activists across Syria; • to equip the network members with mutual trust, good working relations and conflict resolution skills; • to create space for sustainable cross-region and cross-sectarian collaboration focused on civic dialogue and conflict transformation. Winter Academy in Armenia: Conscious Conflict Transformation: this project aims to set up a one-week program for peace builders, educators, conflict resolution professionals, students and other people interested in conscious conflict transformation. The winter academy aspires to study and practice concepts, such as awareness, energy fields, transformative mediation, yoga practices, mindfulness, nonverbal communication, etc to constructively transform conflicts. Communication for Stabilization (CoS): This project undertakes public diplomacy as a tool for conflict prevention, reconciliation and peace-building. Objective of CoS will be to develop and implement communication for stabilization in conflicted regions. Understanding the importance of strategic communications & public diplomacy in conflicted and post-conflict regions to prevent violence and help reconciliation, the project will focus on various approaches to strategically use communications tools for stabilization in the conflicted societies. A potential peace educational project is in the pipeline in the region of Israel-Palestine but is not yet confirmed.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

GN4C aims to empower local actors in conflict regions and support community building and for the moment we are active in Syria, and, potentially, Israel-Palestine. By sharing our work in these regions with the ALF Network, GN4C can contribute to the work of the Network of promoting, restoring and building of intercultural dialogue in these regions. Further, being established in Belgium, GN4C can contribute to the Belgian Network to provide an informative and educational platform to whomever is interested in the recent developments in the field of conflict resolution and transformation. In addition, as GN4C works closely with people from the field, it can bring the expertise of the field closer to analysts and decision-makers who are mainly working in Brussels through webinars, workshops, debriefings, trainings and debates. The GN4C employees furthermore often travel to conflict zones and keep in touch with the reality on the ground and, thus, ensuring the credibility of its work. GN4C believes that by adopting such close-to-the-ground approach and by sharing its expertise and experience with the other members of the Network, the Network can directly benefit from the work of GN4C.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

First, GN4C believes in the strengths of intercultural networks and cross-border relationship-building in order to achieve its objectives, i.e. rebuild the trust among actors in conflict zones and re-humanize conflicts to ultimately constructively transform local communities, and also in education, culture and media as important nonviolent tools to reach these goals. GN4C sees that these elements are equally valued by the ALF Network and, to that extent, GN4C is convinced that joining the ALF Network is a perfect way to put these ideas and resources together to strengthen and support its activities and those of the other members of the Network. Further, GN4C sees ALF Network as a supportive voice, tool and platform to promote and restore intercultural dialogue, whereby perceptions are shared, awareness is raised about stereotypes and misunderstanding are clarified. As these objectives are also pursued by the ALF Network, GN4C sees great value in joining ALF Network for mutual support.

Gratuité des musées en Belgique , Arts et Publics fête son dixième anniversaire!

L'année 2022 était une année d'anniversaire pour le membre du réseau belge: Arts et Publics.

Nous aimerions fêter le dixième anniversaire de ce membre et le mettre en valeur, car c'est Arts & Publics qui était à la base de la gratuité des musées en Belgique.

Dix ans d'Art et Publics c'est aussi dix ans de gratuité dans les musées belges.

Halaqat: Lessons for the future

Mobilité, financement, état de crise permanent, relations culturelles équitables, partage d'expertise. Ces cinq sujets ont été le point final des Lessons for the Future que les experts de Halaqat ont rédigées ensemble à Bruxelles en mai 2022. Ces leçons pour...

L'Europe et le monde arabe sont deux régions en pleine mutation. Chacune avec des réalités sociales, économiques et politiques locales spécifiques et variées, mais surtout avec de nombreux liens, historiques et actuels. En s'appuyant sur ces liens, le Goethe-Institut et Bozar lancent le projet Halaqat. Halaqat - qui signifie en arabe "liens et cercles multiples" - vise à renforcer ces liens et à jeter des ponts entre les deux régions.

Des voix diverses d'artistes émergents et renommés, d'acteurs culturels et d'experts sont réunies pour aborder un certain nombre de thèmes selon leur propre perspective. Allant au-delà de l'idée d'une simple invitation, Halaqat vise à stimuler les artistes des deux régions à créer de l'art ensemble.

Débats, projections de films, installations, performances, concerts, open jams ...
13 événements artistiques auront lieu en novembre, décembre et janvier à Bozar à Bruxelles en Belgique.

Hummingbird project of Leuven University

hummingbird project by the university of leuven

On 27-28 May, the KU Leuven (Catholique University of Leuven) organised the final conference of its Hummingbird project.

This event entitled ‘Shaping the future: Unveiling migration trends for informed decision making’ marked the conclusion of an extensive transnational and transdisciplinary research project aimed at understanding migration patterns and dynamics in order to make informed policy recommendations. The research showcases the use of big data to forecast/nowcast emerging migration flows, and collected narratives of the migrants themselves, during their journeys and several years after settlement in the EU.

Set against the backdrop of the upcoming European elections in June, the final conference stood as a platform for disseminating the project's findings and engaging in profound discussions with experts, scholars and stakeholders. Researchers, policymakers, civil society organisations, and all those passionate about understanding and shaping migration dynamics were invited to join in Leuven for an enriching and collaborative event.
