We are volunteering a series of web courses on a wide range of subjects (more on them below), to help with the fundraising
I'm urgently seeking a competent lawyer in the UK to assist my family in Gaza with the reunification process. It is critical, especially considering my father, a cancer patient, can no longer access treatment due to the ongoing aggression. Any assistance would be appreciated 🙏.
so so proud to see the result of a year of hard work and dedication 🥹 nothing beats the excitement and joy of seeing a project come to fruition, perhaps only the inspiration I get from working with such a fantastic crowd! thank you @the_europaeum 🫶🏼
I’ll have the absolute pleasure of presenting @HQLevelUp and the work we’ve been doing to revamp participatory and deliberative democracy at the @coe World Forum for Democracy, 6-8 November.
All sessions will be live-streamed, stay tuned for the link! ✨ #CoE_WFD2023

At least four people died, nine were injured as a result of a Russian missile strike on a residential building in central Lviv. Lviv is in the West of Ukraine, about 1000 km from the frontline. There is no safe place in Ukraine because #RussiaIsATerroristState

🧵 STORY TIME!
Our story begins in March 2022 at @UniofOxford for our first module of @the_europaeum Scholars Programme. 36 doctoral researchers meet after a competitive selection process. We all receive a scholarship. Our policy and leadership training starts.
Level Up is a non-profit project which aims to reconnect diverse groups of European society for a higher level of democracy.
We make democratic participation fun and inclusive through #gamification.
google updated mariupol maps and I am in a very dark wormhole of staring at the devastation and clicking on pins of places that used to be instead of today’s ruins. like digital ghosts of the life that genocide robbed us of.
my heart aches so much.
We spent the last two days of @the_europaeum module working on our group project, which finally has a name: Level Up!
👾 Level Up applies gamification to democratic participation.
Our goal? Reconnecting citizens, policy-makers, and stakeholders in fun and inclusive ways.
Today was a disastrous day for German foreign policy. Germany became a major blockage for Ukrainian victory over Russia by refusing to allow anybody to deliver their Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. This may become a black mark for Germany for a long time if not swiftly reversed.
