Nature #Conservation and Local #Development: It’s a Match! 🐝👩🌾 #NorthMacedonia is a #biodiversity hotspot.

Cities across Africa are experiencing unstoppable growth. Through its PROECCO_Greatlakes project in the Great Lakes region, the Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit is supporting #sustainabledevelopment and fosters a green #urbanization with eco-friendly bricks. The migration to cities is driven by increasingly uncertain rural living conditions, exacerbated by #climatechange, which devastates agriculture and pressures farmers. Away from agriculture, rural areas also lack sustainable job opportunities. Armed conflicts further worsen the situation for many. Cities not only provide refuge, they also offer a realistic prospect of economic advancement. According to Daniel Wyss, PROECCO project manager at SKAT, "newcomers in the city build the sort of houses they know from their villages. In other words, small houses that cannot withstand extreme weather conditions in very densely-populated neighbourhoods." More about the project here: https://lnkd.in/gBcVu7Rz

As public spaces for dialogue diminish, cultural platforms are crucial for bridging divides and strengthening social cohesion. Art and culture enhance freedom of expression, peace, and sustainable development. Films, in particular, offer unique perspectives, amplify minority voices, and promote tolerance by revealing diverse realities. 🇨🇭 The Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit (SDC) supports artists in its partner countries, helping them access Swiss and international cultural markets. Since 2003, the SDC supports filmmakers and producers from the Global South and East through the Locarno Film Festival's Open Doors section. 🌎 Open Doors is a platform for artists to develop projects and expand networks, enriching international cinema with diverse perspectives and debates. Over 20 years, it has covered more than 80 countries, involving hundreds of directors and producers. 🎞 The participants arrived in Locarno yesterday! Eight film projects and producers were selected for the 2024 edition from over 143 submissions. Over the course of several days, they will use a space to further their creative and professional development and network with industry professionals. This edition marks the end of a three-year focus on Latin America and the Caribbean. 🕊 Through Open Doors, artists amplify their voices on local and global issues particularly in regions where independent filmmaking is challenging. This program is a valuable example of how culture and film can help promote a more tolerant, inclusive and peaceful society. These are precisely the indispensable elements for social development in SDC partner countries. #LocarnoopenDoors #Locarno77 #globalculture #SDGs Locarno Film Festival EDA - DFAE - FDFA 📸 © Locarno Film Festival / Ti-Press
