SUMMARY:FROM FEAR TO RESILIENCE: STORYTELLING OF COVID-19 IN SOUTHEAST ASIA  Call for Photo\, Short Video and Art Essays by SEA Junction and Partners
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThese days we are inundated with photos of deaths\, ICUs and suffering\, creating fear as an incentive to keep us all at home. No matter how well-meaning\, this narrative of COVID-19 remains one-sided and may have many unwanted consequences. We know from the HIV epidemic that fear only changes behavior in the short term and it may cause traumas and prejudices that make it more difficult to learn to live with the virus. This narrative also leads to seeing the ‘other’ as the ‘enemy’ who can potentially infect us\, triggering unnecessary stigma and discrimination that hampers the efforts to control the pandemic. More needs to be done to raise understanding of the rationale of preventive measures and to provide the social and economic means to enable people to apply those. \nLiving through a pandemic with unforeseen reality and unending uncertainties for over a year has created an epidemic of fear. As a consequence\, there have been stigmatization and blaming to infected people\, especially vulnerable population. With the current surges in COVID-19 infection across Southeast Asia\, the fear of contracting the disease remains and is even escalated when the vaccine is in shortage and not accessible to many. They are nervous of not getting timely vaccinated\, not to mention the concern on vaccine’s safety and efficacy. The fear also extends beyond contraction and manifests in socio-economic stress as a result of the pandemic impacts. In particular\, the poor and disadvantaged groups have been hardest hit with a deepening of poverty since the existing inequalities have been exacerbated. \nSEA Junction invites all to make an effort to collectively provide a different visual story of the pandemic in Southeast Asia that shows strength and hope. We believe in the importance of reducing fear and promote informed policy and public discussion with more accurate reporting of the epidemiological realities of COVID-19. We need to show that COVID-19 is also a tale of survival\, resilience and solidarity. \nWe are calling for short stories in the form of photo essays\, short documentaries and illustrated art essays in any language of the region (to be later translated into English) or in English. We will then select\, curate and showcase them in a special section on our online platform and on our social media. We will be also looking for other partners interested in broadcasting these works of resilience. When the COVID-19 situation ease\, we will use the selected visual storytelling works to organize a 2-week long exhibition at BACC. \nPossible topics include but not limited to: \n\ncultural rituals and faith to counter our anxiety;\nexperiences of quarantine (at home or at reserved locations) and survival;\npeople that continue to work in essential services;\nlaborers and migrant workers that keep the economy running by continuing to work in construction\, agriculture\, fishing\, etc.;\nrural and urban community organizing to control the pandemic and provide support to the needy;\ninnovation and adaptation of technology in resource poor settings;\nstrategic intervention to enhance people survival beyond relief;\nand people that fight for social protection and for upholding of privacy and other human rights amidst this pandemic.\n\nNeedless to say\, ethical and safety principles need to be respected in the production of the stories\, and compliance of preventive measures is a must at any time. \nPlease submit approximately 15 photos and/or videos along with short essay to  southeastasiajunction@gmail.com. The call remains open without specific deadline. We welcome all the entries and also other interested partners to join this call. \nOrganizers \nSEA Junction \nSEA Junction\, established under the Thai non-profit organization Foundation for Southeast Asia Studies (ForSEA)\, aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions- from arts and lifestyles to economy and development.

SUMMARY:Call for Proposals\, Small Grant Program “Staying Resilient Amid the Pandemic in Southeast Asia”
DESCRIPTION:In Southeast Asia\, the spread of COVID-19 has been relatively slow when compared to other regions. With the exception of the Philippines and Indonesia\, the number of seriously ill and death cases remain in the two digits. This\, however\, does not imply that the pandemic should be taken lightly nor that the health\, economic and political impacts are insignificant. Like in other parts of the words\, human suffering is real\, with a disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable. The pandemic has also highlighted deep inequalities and socio-economic and human rights challenges. \nIrrespective of the capacity of governments to tackle the pandemics\, all over the region civil society groups\, communities and committed individuals have shown great resilience and solidarity. All kinds of small-scale initiatives have been started to battle the pandemic and cope with its local impacts from providing relief goods and PPE equipment to launching education campaigns and financial schemes. \nRecognizing the importance of these diverse initiatives and the fact that they are often undertaken with minimal resources\, SEA Junction is launching the “Staying Resilient Amid the Pandemic in Southeast Asia” small-grant program. The 3-year program\, with support of the China Medical Board Foundation and WIEGO\, provides funds to efforts working to build social capital\, strengthen community resilience\, improve the living and health conditions of local communities (geographical as well as functional) and enhance their capacity to cope with the current situation of COVID-19 and its longer-term socio-economic and health impacts. \nSmall grants for an average of USD 2\,500 will be awarded to selected groups and individuals. Funds can be used to complement existing resources as well as seeds or matching funds. Besides providing financing\, the program will also share relevant COVID-19 and health equity relevant information and knowledge\, foster cross-fertilization of ideas and interventions\, help build networks and conduct joint advocacy activities. \nEligibility and Priority \n\nThis call is open to individuals and groups (both formal and informal)\nFocus is on socio-economic and health dimensions of COVID-19\nActivities are to be located in Southeast Asia\nPriority is given to community-led and inclusive initiatives\nEmphasis on equity and resilience\n\nHow to Apply: \n\nDownload and fill the proposal form provided here: Proposal Template\nUse English or any Southeast Asian languages\nSubmit your brief proposal by email to southeastasiajunction@gmail.com\n\n  \n \nThe first batch of applications was closed in September 2020. We have selected and provided funds to 13 initiatives in Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Myanmar\, Thailand and The Philippines on different issues including arts and culture\, migration\, gender\, rural development\, waste management\, education\, etc. The full list of first batch grantees is available here. \nThe second call for proposals was closed on 15 March 2021. Amid the new wave of outbreak in many countries\, the community demand for support is great with almost 140 relevant proposals received. Thanks to individual and non-profit donations as per our fundraising campaign at the end of 2020\, we have been able to increase our initial funds and grant 23 local initiatives from different locations in 8 countries. The full list of second batch grantees is available here. The next opportunity for a third batch of application is tentatively planned for the end of 2021. \nMeanwhile\, we are now looking for ways to increase the budget as the need is great and response has been overwhelming. Any contribution from interested institutional and individual donors will go a long way toward mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 and strengthening the community-based response to the pandemic. If there’s any preference for particular groups\, themes or countries\, you can earmark your donations and we will take it into account in the grant announcements and selection.
