War and peace in Europe – (only) a contradiction?

… or two sides of the same coin?

mypeaceatwarIn 2015 we celebrate 70 years of peace in Europe. We are, however, wondering: Can we speak of peace in Europe in the sight of the conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East? And: Are “war and peace” only limited to politics and history?

Against this backdrop, we organize a photo competition on the issue of “War and peace in Europe – (only) a contradiction?” with a view to its historical, political, but also individual or social aspects. Join our contest and let us have your personal answer to our question – a relevant photo!

Send your photo to photocontest@mypeaceatwar.eu by October 31st 2015, and show us what war and peace mean to you. Please click here http://mypeaceatwar.eu/ for more information about the requirements, conditions for participation and the context of the contest.

The 20 best photos will be exhibited at our big international cultural event at Römerkastell in Saarbrücken (Germany) on November 20, 2015. We invite already now all those interested to this evening, which includes furthermore music, video installations, a poetry slam etc. You will find the programme of this event in due time on www.eao-otzenhausen.de The three best photos will be awarded up to € 300.-

… ou bien les deux faces d’une même médaille ?

mypeaceatwarEn 2015, nous commémorons 70 ans de paix en Europe. Cependant, nous nous posons la question suivante : Est-ce qu’on peut parler de paix en Europe vu les conflits en Ukraine et au Proche Orient ? Et est-ce que ” la paix et la guerre ” se limitent seulement à la politique et à l’histoire ?

A cet égard, nous organisons une compétition photographique sur le thème «  La guerre et la paix en Europe – une contradiction (seulement) ? » et tenons compte de toutes ses facettes : historiques, politiques, mais également personnelles ou sociales. Alors, participez à notre compétition et envoyez-nous votre réponse photographique personnelle à nos questions !

NGOpartnership – Find your NGO partner across Europe

NGO partnershipDo you often have trouble finding the right project partner or wonder about the fastest and most efficient way to do this? Are you a public sector entity or a private company who wants to carry out a project in cooperation with NGOs, but just does not have the right information about all the possibilities that are out there?  Do you have the right project idea to apply for a call for proposals and a clear picture of what your project partner should be like, but are unfamiliar with the sector in the countries in which you are looking for partners?

These are the reasons why our colleagues from ENNA have created the web database of non-governmental organisations ( NGOpartnership ) from all over Europe who are interested in international project partnerships. NGOs can create their own profiles with their contact information, references and areas of interest and thereby inform a wide circle of potential partners about their activity. Interested project partners can then easily and quickly find the NGO which suits their needs and requirements.

The use of the portal is free. Register your profile and/or search for your partner in the database!
