Live Cartoonist Floris Oudshoorn was in Belgrade, Serbia this week, during a series of highly participatory, interactive sessions. Together with some 150 people he participated in a 2-day event titled Global Citizenship Education: Recalibrating Civic Action for Systemic Change. The event was organized by Bridge 47, as part of the International Civil Society Week (ICSW).
Bridge 47 was created to bring people together to share and learn from each other. To mobilise civil society all around the world, doing their part for global justice and eradication of poverty with the help of Global Citizenship Education.
International Civil Society Week (ICSW) is a global gathering for civil society to connect, debate and create shared solutions. ICSW brings participants together, not just as participants, but as co-creators and co-owners. Through a partnered approach, organisations pool their resources to convene a diverse international group of civil society leaders.
The event is held in places of political and social significance, in public spaces versus traditional conferencing venues. ICSW event sessions focus on interactive and immersive encounters with diverse actors from around the world. The result a thoughtfully planned event that forges connections to share ideas, catalyse positive social change, exchange tools that enhance citizen action, and celebrate people power.

@bridge47_ #ICSW2019 ?@ComicHouseNL? New platforms can easily bypass traditional journalism. But where is the accountability? pic.twitter.com/TKqWyRCUQN
