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.

SUMMARY:Dialogue Forum 2 Year 3 (in Thai): Weather Extremes
DESCRIPTION:In times when society has become widened with gaps and differences of views and opinions\, one issue could be escalated into a crisis if there are no platforms available for appropriate discussion among all concerned. The media\, while informing and inspiring their audience\, could also take a role in educating and facilitating the public by providing such platforms\, bridging the gap and connecting the dots to create one big picture for better understanding in the society. \nRealising such critical roles\, Bangkok Tribune\, in collaboration with its partners and with the support of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (Foundation Office Thailand)\, has therefore come up with a monthly forum on issues of importance under the project\, Dialogue Forum. This is to facilitate and provide a space for discussions and exchanges of dialogues and views regarding critical social and environmental issues and policies both in Thailand and the Mekong region. It not only bridges the gap but also connects the dots\, helping forge better understanding among the parties concerned and the public at large\, therefore encouraging them to make a better decision about the issues or even find a common ground and seek solutions together. \nOver the past few years\, the forum has invited a number of parties to come and discuss the issues at the forum; several of them are scholars and leaders in their fields. They have reached some common grounds while recommendations and new policies have been proposed for issues of importance such as Green Recovery in Post Covid-19\, Climate Change policies\, biodiversity in crisis\, dam development in the Mekong Basin\, and others. (See: https://bkktribune.com/dialogue-forum/) \nThis year\, there have been reports of irregular weather events in many parts of the world. While Europe is facing severe drought that has caused several rivers in the continent to extensively dry up\, several countries in Asia including Pakistan and Thailand are facing severe flooding. The incidents have prompted several climate experts to come up with serious observations and analyses that weather extremes caused by climate change have consequently arrived. The question is whether governments or people are ready to cope with them. \nThe Dialogue Forum would cordially like to invite you to delve into such a serious question and explore ways to cope with weather extremes and the changes of climate at the second forum of this year\, Dialogue Forum 2 l Year 3: Weather Extremes? (in Thai)\, on September 29\, 2022\, 10.30 am-1 pm at SEA-Junction\, 4 th Floor\, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC).  \n \n\n\n\n10.30 am\nRegistration\n\n\n10.55 am\nWelcome remarks and introduction of the forum and topic\n\n\n11.00 am\nOverview: Weather Extremes and the IPCC’s Assessments on Climate Change \nAssoc.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion “Vietnamese Women Migrating for Work Overseas: The Untold Stories”
DESCRIPTION:SEA Junction and the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) are organizing a knowledge sharing and evidence-based advocacy for socio-economic inclusion of migrant and trafficked women from Southeast Asia to Europe: both those who currently live in Europe and those who have returned to their home countries. To achieve the objective of promoting rights-affirming labour migration policies and anti-trafficking measures on these migration routes\, we are holding a series of six-monthly webinars with the title “Towards Safe Southeast Asia-Europe Migration Corridors”\, which will look at current and emerging challenges and possible policy solutions. \nIn the first event\, Maruja M.B. Asis\, Director of Research and Publications at the Scalabrini Migration Center gave an overview of migration from Southeast Asia and with this second event we shift to the national level\, by focusing on Vietnam. In this webinar\, Khuat Thu Hong and Nguyen Song Bao Anh respectively Founding Director and Senior Researcher of the Institute for Social Development Studies (ISDS) in Hanoi will discuss a recently published book on Vietnamese women migration overseas.  \nThe volume collects the stories of the lives of Vietnamese women while working abroad\, told by members of a network of women who migrated for work overseas in Ha Tinh. The stories are arranged according to key issues such as journey abroad\, language differences\, working conditions\, gender-based violence\, pregnancy and healthcare abroad\, encounters with the police and days in prison\, or difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic\, and return day\, rebuilding life at home. This thematic approach helps bridge together the multitude of experiences of migrant women into a journey from the time they leave until they return – each stage is a colourful picture assembled from many pieces of life that are common among migrant women\, yet at the same time unique. \nThe book discussion will be aired on 29 September 2022 at 4 pm on Zoom (Link: http://bit.ly/SEA-EUROPE-MIGRATION) and Facebook Live: SEA-Junction and GAATW page. After the presentation\, a Q & A session will follow moderated by Rosalia Sciortino\, Founding Director of SEA Junction. \nThe book can be downloaded at https://isds.org.vn/en/an-pham/journey-of-vietnamese-women-migrating-for-work-overseas-the-untold-stories/. \n \nSpeakers’ Profiles \nKhuat Thu Hong is the founder and Director of the Institute for Social Development Studies (ISDS)\, an independent research organization located in Hanoi\, Vietnam.
