Europe Talks Solidarity Instituto NOW for SALTO European Solidarity Corps

In this episode, we’re doing a pulse check:

How are European democracies doing? And what about the state of freedom of expression?

Join us for a conversation with Quinn McKew from the globally active NGO Article 19 that fights for press freedom.

Quinn tells us about the tools used by the NGO to measure freedom of expression. She also shares about tendencies in press freedom and freedom of expression they observe in Europe and beyond and the consequences for democracy and solidarity.

How can young people collectively seek for solutions to the climate crisis?



In this first episode of season 3, Alessandra Grisoni talks to us about the youth participation she observes in Tunisia.

As a former volunteer in the ESC program she believes solidarity cannot be only made of good intentions: empathy and active listening should foster an informed solidarity and a collective responsability to one another.
