WORLD ORGANIZING INSTITUTE

What they do

"OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE "NO BORDERS" INITIATIVE SERVED AS AN INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIVE of CIVIC LEADERS, ACTIVISTS, RESEARCHERS, STORYTELLERS, and ARTISTS, PROVIDING A PLATFORM to SHARE EXPERIENCES, INSIGHTS, and COMMUNITY-DRIVEN NARRATIVES ACROSS BORDERS. THROUGH THIS COLLABORATIVE, PARTICIPANTS CONTRIBUTED and EXCHANGED STORYTELLING CONTENT and REFLECTIONS ON CIVIC ENGAGEMENT DRAWN FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES. THESE SHARED STORIES WERE REDISTRIBUTED VIA OUR DIGITAL NEWSLETTERS and PEER PLATFORMS, REACHING AN EXPANDING GLOBAL NETWORK of COMMUNITY LEADERS. ALL ACTIVITIES WERE GROUNDED IN NONPARTISAN EDUCATION, CREATIVE COLLABORATION, and MUTUAL LEARNING, ENHANCING CAPACITY to UNDERSTAND and ADDRESS LOCAL CHALLENGES THROUGH SHARED PERSPECTIVES and COLLECTIVE NARRATIVE-BUILDING.
