Have you ever heard of sickle cell disease? According to the World Health Organization, sickle cell disease affects nearly 100 million people worldwide. Elizabeth Odondi is one of them. In SHARE Magazine, she talks about her life with the disease and why, at over 30, she is “one of the lucky ones”. About 14,000 children are born in Kenya with sickle cell disease each year, the health ministry says. It is the most common inherited haematological disorder in Kenya. It affects haemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the body. Without routine newborn screening and access to proper treatment, more than half of those in sub-Saharan Africa die undiagnosed before reaching their fifth birthday.

🌐 The widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various dimensions of social life worldwide has significantly altered the dynamics in the field of International Cultural Relations (ICR), introducing new complexities and opportunities. There is however a reciprocal impact to it: ICR can shape the evolution of AI and generative AI. What opportunities and risks do AI technologies pose for ICR? What narratives and tensions are at play among stakeholders in the intersection of AI and culture? What role can ICR actors play in making the development of AI systems more participatory among different stakeholders? 🔗 Click the link in bio to register for our online discussion with Amy Sample Ward (amyrsward), Martin Rauchbauer, Octavio Kulesz (@unesco ), author of the new ifa-study on Artificial Intelligence in ICR, and moderated by Luba Elliott (@elluba ).

🍃 Inspired by the lush, green nature of Bhutan, Tshering Lhamo works tirelessly to fight plastic waste pollution in her country. As part of the PLEASE Project, (Plastic Free Rivers and Seas for South Asia), her organization Gross International Nature (GIN) cooperates with two other organization in Bhutan to establish waste segregation and recycling practices in local communities. “One of the communities I work with, called Merak, lives 3,500 meters above sea level. Far away from the capital, they do not have a formal waste management system and dig up a new landfill every time the previous one gets full.” To establish recycling practices, it is important to let people understand why they are putting the effort in. The plastic collected is transformed into useful products, such as the “UR Brick” (“Useful Recycled Brick”), that can be used to create temporary structures, such as toilet facilities. 🚽♻️ What would you build with the UR brick? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️ Tshering’s expertise was a valuable addition at our Circular Solutions Workshop in Munich, where 24 experts of the CrossCulture Programme Community exchanged their ideas and expanded their knowledge on circular initiatives in Munich and worldwide. #CrossCultureProgramm #StrengthenCivilSociety #CircularSolutions #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #recycling #bhutan #wastemanagement

Born and raised in a paddy farming family, Chandrasena has faced a variety of troubles, from seasonal pests taking over paddy fields to droughts linked to climate change. But nothing damaged his harvest as much as the move to organic farming forced by the government. In 2021, Sri Lanka paddy farming collapsed when former President Gotabaya Rajapaksha decided to switch from chemical to organic fertiliser overnight. It was not a secret that farmers in Sri Lanka use excessive amounts of chemical fertilisers, destroying soil fertility and increasing soil acidity. But the change was too sudden and too extreme. The sudden ban on chemical fertilisers, combined with an absence of proper guidance on the use of organic fertilisers, was disastrous. In the article “Why did the organic farming movement fail in Sri Lanka?”, Chandrasena shares his experiences with the policy and his life as a paddy farmer. Read his story now in SHARE Magazine (link in bio).

Let’s meet in Tashkent – the capital of Uzbekistan was the gathering point for a group of former CrossCulture Programme (CCP) Fellows from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The CCP alums gathered for joint trainings, networking and to experience the cultural scene and its national rice dish "plov". The CCP Country Representatives Ashot Danielyan (@origamiwingsrock ) from Uzbekistan, Ekaterina Morozova (@ekaterina.translator ) from Kyrgyzstan and Ganjina Mavlonazarova (@ganjinamavlonazarova ) from Tajikistan had planned and organized the meet-up. A big thank you to their amazing work and dedication! Hailing from diverse backgrounds, the topics presented and discussed by the participants ranged from art activism to working with people with disabilities to transcultural communication. The group visited the independent Ilkhom theatre (@ilkhom.theatre ) and finished the meeting with a group discussion on the challenges of work and activism. A bond was formed between the alums of Central Asia within these few days which shall be continued. Let’s see which common future projects will follow! Country Representatives are former CCP Fellows who voluntarily represent their countries’ CCP alums community and function as the main contact persons for CCP in their respective countries for a term of three years. #CrossCultureProgramm #StrengthenCivilSociety #alums #centralasia #uzbekistan #kyrgyzstan #tajikistan

Heute um 18 Uhr findet das EM-Spiel zwischen Deutschland und Ungarn statt. Wir haben ungarndeutsche Jugendliche gefragt, für welche Mannschaft sie sind. Welches Team feuert ihr heute Abend an? ⚽🎉🥅 Das heutige Spiel hat für die deutsche Minderheit in Ungarn eine besondere Bedeutung: Viele Ungarndeutsche fühlen sich durch ihre doppelte Identität beiden Ländern verbunden. Obwohl sie in Ungarn leben, hat die deutsche Minderheit viele familiäre und historische Verbindungen zu Deutschland und zu ihren Vorfahren. Sportliche Begegnungen wie diese stärken nicht nur das nationale Gemeinschaftsgefühl, sondern fördern auch den interkulturellen Dialog und das Verständnis zwischen den Ländern. 🇩🇪🇭🇺 Dieser kulturellen Verständigung trägt auch das Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (@ifa.de ) bei. Durch seine Förderprogramme setzt es sich weltweit für Freiheit in Kunst, Forschung und Zivilgesellschaft ein und schafft Räume der Begegnung und Interaktion. 🤝 @jakobbleyerheimatmuseum @gju_mnfk #fußball #deutscheminderheit #ungarndeutsch #em #deutschlandungarn #deutschlandgegenungarn #hybrideidentität #identität #europameisterschaft #institutfürauslandsbeziehungen #zivilgesellschaft #förderprogramme #gemeinschaftsgefühl
