But before we go forward…let’s go back
Isabel set out to:
“Use ICT innovation practices such as citizen journalism for empowerment of the groups and of communitieis at social and territorial level, strengthening inter-personal and intracultural links, getting communities talking to one another, promoting personal/collective growth, empowering people to ensure their voices are heard.”
Seeds of sustainability are in the original vision:
EMPOWERMENT OF GROUPS
STRENGTHEN INTRACULTURAL LINKS
ENSURE THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD
So we’re looking for a model that can support us to:
Raise the profile of commuinty voices... People telling stories from the heart of communities...to encourage dialogue cross border... Celebrates the universality of themes that shape our lives...for powerful shared learning. To generate real solutions from real people across borders
Which gives us:
A powerfully innovative approach that up-ends the theory of ‘disadvantaged’ populations and supports people to release their own potential and power
POWER
So, NOW WHAT?
The European Network of Community Reporters
A European-wide network of people and organisations organisations involved in Commuity Reporter activity basedon the principle of developing local voices and distributing local views cross-border for shared learning
Roles will include:
1. Find ways to support activity to happen on the ground2. Distribute stories from communites in order that people can
learn from each other, support each other and better understand each other
3. Develop dialogue and discussion between communities and agencies in order to ensure that communities have a voice across Europe
4. Promote and share knowledge about Community Reporting, its content and good practices
