The crisis of trust is one of the defining challenges of our time. It threatens the stability of countries, the effectiveness of economies, and the cohesion of communities.
However, it is not an insurmountable obstacle. History has shown that societies can recover from periods of deep distrust and emerge stronger. The path forward requires a collective commitment to cooperation, truth, transparency, and accountability. It demands that we move beyond cynicism and engage in the hard work of rebuilding the foundations of our social contract.

"Market associations, religious welfare networks, professional guilds, neighbourhood councils – these exist everywhere in Pakistan, self-financed and genuinely representative of those they serve.
Somehow, donors never found them. Or rather, they looked right past them. What donors funded instead, quite generously, were those groups established specifically to attract their money."

“Europe’s Moral Crisis: The Crumbling Shield around Israel”
by Ramzy Baroud in The Palestine Chronicle

@iran“The rejection of war is part of a broader rejection of Israeli military policy and the alignment of European governments with it. These shifts have not only isolated Israel; they have begun to isolate its allies. Aside from Donald Trump and his full alignment with Netanyahu’s agenda, the era of a unified Western bloc catering unquestioningly to Israel’s demands is fading.
The traditional explanation for Europe’s backing—historical guilt over the Holocaust—no longer explains the conduct of political elites. A more accurate explanation lies in Europe’s own legacy of colonial violence and racial hierarchy”

Uganda has passed a new law aimed at silencing dissent that poses a grave threat to civil society. It labels those who receive donor funding from abroad “agents of foreigners”. Anyone convicted faces up to 20 years in prison.

Training week for our 10 community mentors in the mountains of Hunedoara. 🏔️
Four days of experiential learning, group facilitation, active listening — the toolkit they'll need to work with 100+ Roma students at risk of dropping out of school in Dolj County.
The mentors come from the same communities as the children. That's the point.

Students teaching students. 🦷
In Craiova, five dental students from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy volunteered at two primary schools to deliver oral health workshops for children in the "second chance" programme.
Project ANGLE reaches 200 children from marginalised Roma communities in Dolj County with integrated education, health and mentoring support — funded through #ESFPlus.
Small workshops. Measurable impact.

Found the source, and while it can sound optimistic especially reading it now, I still think Vinge was right about what's possible. :-) https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2006/jun/29/guardianweeklytechnologysection5 #future #ScienceFiction #geek #activism #Resistance #CivicTech #CivilSociety #SocialChange

“Many people still treat peace as something that comes by chance or divine intervention. In reality, it depends on civic culture. It requires populations capable of managing conflict without violence and of living with disagreement without turning it into hatred. That is not a passive condition. It has to be cultivated.”
