een stad is...
More than the sum of its parts: more than the number of people, more than the number of buildings, more than the number of roads. More than the smog of its skies: more than the impatient cars, more than the buildings that block out the sun, more than the starless nights. More than the infernal whirl of monetary transactions: more than the neon-bright billboards, more than the salesmen with loudspeakers, more than the suits and the cell phones. More than the poverty of its slums: more than the fingers worked to the bone, more than the gnawing hunger, more than the empty gutters. More than all this, and amidst all this: collisions of minds and spirits, one bouncing off another, taking something and giving something away, a continuous chain of energy transfer, transforming potential into culture. At its best, a city is a place that enables social creativity, allowing people of diverse backgrounds to come together and be more than the sum of their parts. However, cities today face problems that threaten to strip them of their creative potential. Pollution, commercialization, and poverty are making it hard to "breathe" in cities, literally and metaphorically. To combat these issues, we must make spaces where the positive energy between people can be kept alive, where creativity to solve these larger problems can thrive. This month, we take a look at "breathing spaces" in the city. |

Open Fora
Een nieuw initiatief van TIG, ontworpen om jongeren van een bepaald land bijeen te brengen om eechte en relevante kwesties te bediscussiëren, waar zij mee te maken hebben in hun gemeenschappen, zijn open fora een vorm van "ademende ruimte" voor de jeugd. Een ruimte die een off-line platform biedt voor veilige en open discussie om te reflecteren over en zich uit te uitdrukken over waarmee zij te kampen hebben in hun dagelijks leven, en het biedt jongeren de gelegenheid om mogelijke ideeën te delen over hoe verandering teweeg te brengen. Deze maand, vinden Open Fora plaats rond de belangrijke thema's in Steden. Meer informatie over manieren om deel te nemen! |

Globale Galerij
Thousands of cities. Millions of streets. Billions of people. Similar fragments reveal "The City", unveiling its stretching skyscrapers all alike to the eye. Wherever we go a street is connecting us to people and places. Some choose the street to take, the place to go. For others a street is a home, not a choice. Both have a unique story to tell. This contest hopes to capture the intimate meaning of life on the streets. May the sidewalk be the vector on which you move or may it be a home. Global Gallery |
