The Polish Institute for Human Rights and Business has recently published an excellent book on "How (not) to do Business and Human Rights in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia: Case studies". The publication includes fifteen case studies on various #bizhumanrights challenges from Poland to Kyrgyzstan. It is great to see the capacity and knowledge of business and human rights in Eastern Europe and Central Asia grow. It was great to be part of this project. Congratulations to the editors, Beata Faracik and Olena Uvarova, and the authors! The publication is available here: https://lnkd.in/dmPQtYk7 Polski Instytut Praw Człowieka i Biznesu (Polish Institute for Human Rights and Business) #responsiblebusiness #sustainability #bizhumanrights #duediligence

As you know, despite an increase of 12pt in participation rate in 2019 in the #EuropeanElections, we only reach a participation of 42% for young people. The youth need to be more present in the political sphere and it can only be achieved through projects and events tackling youth political involvement and civic engagement. This is why I invite you to check out this Summer Event hosted by Young Professionals Network (YPN) on the important topic that is Engaging Youth before the next European elections.

🌍🗳️ Celebrating International Day of Democracy: Uniting Nations in Diversity 🗳️🌍 On this special occasion, we join hands with nations across the globe to celebrate the International Day of Democracy. Democracy, with its rich tapestry of principles, represents the foundation upon which free and just societies are built. In a world as diverse as ours, democracy stands as a unifying force, where voices from all walks of life are heard, and choices are made collectively. Today, let's reflect on the importance of democratic values such as transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. 🤝 Unity in Diversity: Democracy thrives on the myriad of perspectives, cultures, and beliefs that make our world unique. It's a reminder that despite our differences, we can come together to build a brighter future. 🗳️ Every Voice Counts: In a democratic society, every citizen's voice matters. It's a call to action for participation, not just in casting votes, but in shaping the policies that impact our lives. 🌱 Nurturing Democracy: Democracy is a garden that requires constant care. Let's commit to safeguarding democratic institutions, promoting civic education, and ensuring the rule of law prevails. 🕊️ Peaceful Dialogue: Democracy encourages dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflicts. Let's embrace dialogue as a means to find common ground and bridge divides. As we celebrate this day, let us remember that democracy is not a destination but a journey. It's our shared responsibility to protect and strengthen it for future generations. Happy International Day of Democracy! 🌟🗺️🗽 #DemocracyDay #UnitedInDemocracy

Did you know that citizen participation in cultural activities enhances civic engagement, democracy and social cohesion? According to a study led by the European Commission ahead of the European elections in 2024, international research shows that citizens who participate regularly in cultural activities are more likely to vote, to volunteer, and to participate in community activities, projects, and organisations. The report recommends that the objective of widening citizens' cultural participation could be strengthened in the Commission's own dedicated actions for culture and get a higher visibility in the existing Creative Europe programme. As a Creative Europe programme, we are delighted at the understanding of how the “Landscape” of Landscape Together truly has many facets! https://lnkd.in/dBxNxP36. https://lnkd.in/dEC43YfC #EuropeanCommission #Culture #CreativeEurope #LandscapeTogether #Community #Europeanelections2024 #Citizens
