@NoraInPalestine says "The revolution will not be funded". AMAZING panel with Moukhtar from @RawaFund , Nora, and Aziza Moussa on How do we overcome aid dependency? Mindset changing is definitely a key point here. #RadicalImagination #SocialInnovationSummit

Capoeira works in 3 ways, 1 from mind to the body, 2 from body to the mind and 3 a complete fusion of body and mind

Need to see more donors, UN, INGOs manifest the ‘care economy’ in their partnerships & funding- put trust in frontline local women’s groups!

Great by talk by @tak_als about capoeira and its restorative power. Much more than a sport, it has the ability to help people deal with trauma, provide a safe space for the marginalised and bring communities together.

[The Syria Campaign @TheSyriaCmpgn]

Families of Syrian detainees are calling for the release of 3327 medics who remain detained or disappeared by the Assad regime, and whose expertise is desperately needed in the fight against #coronavirus.

This is Ayham Ghazoul, who was killed for his work as a doctor in 2012.

Are you curious about some of our more local efforts? our Berlin office, Capoeira4Refugees has worked with our local refugee centres to play capoeira with the community there. Our main aim is to help improve the mental and physical well-being of the children in a safe space.

A beautiful articulation of the impact of capoeira. #friendship #capoeira #positive #change #refugees

"One of the most important measures to stop the spread of the virus is to prevent large gatherings of people. But in northwest Syria, about half of the population lives in camps, in which two-three families share one tent. Isolation [of infected people] is simply not possible,"
