The White Freedom Ribbon Campaign

• is an open platform. We gather knowledge and information from organisations on the topic of our 'one world'.
• addresses young people. School children are our main target group. We hope to interest teachers in the topic of 'one world' so that they will introduce it into their lesson plans.
• initiates action. Learning leads to action – action stimulates learning.
• supports the commitment of volunteers. Pupils get to know the work of the organisations and can play a part in these efforts.
• is independent. We are not affiliated with any ideology or political party. Thanks to our journalistic orientation, we are committed to providing an unbiased information platform.

The White Freedom Ribbon Campaign was founded in February 2003 against the backdrop of the impending war in Iraq. With our initiative, we as journalists hope to expand the perspectives of young people.

EADI, the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes, is the leading European network in the field of development research and training. EADI is a Europe-wide network of institutes, researchers and students of various disciplines in the field of development studies. It organises activities and offers facilities for the international exchange of knowledge and experience in the professional field. Its most prominent activity is a General Conference devoted to a topical issue every three years. The official languages of EADI are English and French. EADI is the prime professional association for development studies. As such it promotes: quality in research and education in development studies, the exchange of relevant information among members and with others, the strengthening of relevant knowledge networks at the regional and global level, and influencing both national and European decision-makers in the development cooperation field. EADI’s two objectives are, firstly, to generate and stimulate and exchange of information among European academics and researchers concerned with development issues and to develop contacts with researchers from other regions of the world. And secondly, to promote interdisciplinary studies on specific themes. EADI is financed by its members’ contributions, an institutional grant from the German government and other project-related subsidies and private donations. EADI receives core funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ) and the Land North Rhine-Westphalia / City of Bonn.
