The audio with an introduction from Fine (Educat), is a cutting of the input of Firoozeh in 2025 as part of an online lecture. Length 37 Minutes, Language English. The current cisis is a continuation — a deepening and intensification of stuctural violence and instability that has long shaped people’s lives. It is (our task) to build another world — one grounded in collective care, emotional resilience, and political imagination. One where the future is not a battleground, but a shared possibility.

Solidarity in the face of climate disasters – A talk with Fine (Educat) and Payal Parekh. The spoken language is English.

Fighting For Transnational Justice – A talk with Laura (Humus) and Adama Dicko

Fighting For Transnational Justice – A talk with Laura (Humus) and Adama Dicko. The audio is almost 30 Minutes. The spoken language is English. Laura and Adama talk about their cooperation, different upbringings and the need to learn to listen to and understand each other. With continuing crises and more and more strain on the world’s resources, the exploitation of certain countries by others will keep increasing. In this climate it is important to strengthen our abilities to struggle together for transnational justice. We try to explore a few facets of this quest. We ask which skills we need in order to better understand each other and fight for justice together: How can we understand each other’s point of view? How can we bridge cultural and language barriers and how to stick together, despite our differences? This podcast is part of an Erasmus+ funded project called "Skills for Crisis".

Strengthening Civil Society Through Mutual Aid – A talk with Fine (Educat) and Dean Spade

Strengthening Civil Society Through Mutual Aid – A talk with Fine (Educat) and Dean Spade. The audio is almost 37 minutes. The spoken language is English. Fine and Dean talk about community care and mutual aid as the answer to crisis and capitalist driven society. In the context of worsening ecological crisis, rising fascism, and expanding war, we need to build communities and movements that can take care of each other and fight back. Mutual aid is the work we do in communities to meet immediate survival needs autonomous from government and NGO’s. It is where we practice skills of collaboration, generosity, and co-stewardship, engage in political education to expand our solidarities, and move from being passive observers of political crises to active participants in preparing for and addressing the disasters being caused by capitalism.
