The Kaleka Project — Empowering indigenous communities
Indigenous communities all over the world have developed systems to manage their forests or pastures in balance with nature. They would continue their sustainable practices if it wasn't for external forces that either take the land from them or provoke a change of behaviour. How can indigenous communities be empowered to resist? The Kaleka Project is an attempt to strengthen the indigenous communities on Borneo, Indonesia. The Dayak settlements face a multitude of challenges, external and internal forces, which the project tries to address simultaneously, taking cultural, natural, economic and social aspects into account alike. We introduce the case of the Dayak of Central Kalimantan and focus on two aspects: Legal Empowerment — how can indigenous communities become powerful advocates for their own legal rights? Biodiversity & Heritage — how do we preserve the indigenous crop diversity that sustains traditional practices, a true treasure for all humanity? We invite scholars, activists and those with a genuine interest in the empowerment of indigenous communities to share their views, experiences and ideas. Speakers: Standy Christianto (Borneo Institute); Destano Anugerahnu and Krismelia Y. Panji (Borneo Institute); Cristian Moreno Garcia (Weltweit e.V.).

Beyond Fisheries: Challenges and Opportunities in the Blue Economy
What comes to mind when we hear "blue economy"? For many, the answer is still fisheries. But the blue economy is much broader — and so are the opportunities for young people to shape it. Green Bridges hosts an interactive virtual exchange bringing together young people from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa to explore ocean and coastal challenges and the opportunities they create for entrepreneurship, social innovation and community action. Facilitated by Khiusha Uaila and co-facilitated by Milton Chavane from ASSAMBA, the session combines practical input with breakout discussions where participants identify challenges from their own regions and co-create possible solutions. Target group: young people aged 18–30 from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. Green Bridges is a virtual exchange initiative connecting young people across Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa around climate action, social innovation and intercultural learning. The project is co-funded by the European Union.
