SUMMARY:OPEN CALL – WOMEN IN FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY 2025
DESCRIPTION: \nWomen photographers\, filmmakers\, and visual artists who use film or photography are invited to submit work for Objectifs’ 8th Women in Film & Photography Showcase in 2025. Selected work will be part of the print exhibition\, slideshow/video installation\, artist talks or screenings at Objectifs (Singapore) from Oct to Nov 2025. \nThe Women in Film & Photography Showcase at Objectifs is a tribute to the artists\, photographers\, and filmmakers who have created works that tell stories with impact\, break boundaries\, and inspire us. The Showcase focus is on work from Southeast Asia\, East Asia and South Asia.  \nOur theme for this edition is WHAT WE CARRY. \nWhat are some things we carry with us throughout our lives? When is the act of carrying a marker of hope\, resilience\, resistance\, or choice\, and when is it not? How do we decide when to keep holding on\, and when it is time to let go? How do the things we carry inform our identities\, our journeys\, and our connections to the world around us? After all\, we carry to be able to carry on\, carry over\, and carry towards. \nThese questions invite reflection on the diverse and personal ways in which our histories\, environments\, and experiences shape what we carry. We invite projects that interrogate the theme\, and how these elements interact with our sense of self and community. We also welcome submissions that consider the theme expansively\, and broaden our scope for dialogue. \nThrough your work\, we aim to engage with the many layers of individual and collective experiences\, inviting new perspectives on the things we hold close\, and the stories we choose to carry forward. \nAPPLY NOW! \nWHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?  \n\nPhoto essays or photo-based work of any genre\, based on the theme of What We Carry. Completed series or ongoing projects are both acceptable and can be from any year of production. Selected work may be presented in a group print exhibition or slideshow presentation. OR\nShort films or video art (below 30min) of any genre\, based on the theme of What We Carry. Works should be 30 min and below in duration and available for screening in a digital file format\, and can be from any year of production.

We welcome applicants who are from these countries to submit their work for consideration. Applicants who are not currently residing in their native countries may also submit their work for consideration.\nWe welcome work from artists who identify as female\, and non-binary individuals.\nSelection of works will be made by Objectifs\, and will be based on how the work relates to the theme\, as well as how it resonates with other projects that are chosen.

SUMMARY:SHAPE-SEA National Skills-based Training on Human Rights and Peace Education and Research
DESCRIPTION:Introduction \nThe Strengthening Human Rights and Peace Research/Education in ASEAN/Southeast Asia Programme (SHAPE-SEA) was born out of a desire by Southeast Asian human rights and peace scholars to establish ways to develop and strengthen the capacities and knowledge of fellow academics working in the region. It is a joint program of the ASEAN University Network- Human Rights Education Theme (AUN-HRE) and the Southeast Asian Human Rights and Peace Studies Network (SEAHRN). SHAPE-SEA is supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). SHAPE-SEA’s vision is to strengthen the protection and promotion of human rights and peace in Southeast Asia/ASEAN through education and research. It aims to support research efforts that contribute to creating a culture of human rights and peace in Southeast Asia. \nOne of the main SHAPESEA’s activities is to increase research capacity by organizing National Skill-based Training on  Human Right and Peace Research with targeted participants from a particular country in partnership with a local institution. In 2025\, SHAPE-SEA intends to collaborate with the National University of Laos (NUOL) to conduct a national training to increase capacity of and build a  network of human rights academics and scholars from Lao PDR as an Academically Developing Country (LAC). In consultation with NUOL\,  this national training will cover both human rights education and research on human rights and peace in order to support scholars and graduate students in Lao PDR in the two critical areas of human rights and peace work. The national training will likely be conducted bilingually\, with modules designed to enhance participants’ knowledge of human rights and peace. These modules will be tailored based on survey results to address the participants’ most pressing needs\, such as identifying research gaps and supporting the development of research ideas and proposals\, including data collection\, analysis\, and writing. \nObjectives \nThe training aims to achieve several objectives: \n\nTo improve the research skills of scholars and graduate students in Lao PDR\, focusing on research methodology\, ethics\, and academic writing related to human rights and peace.\nTo strengthen participants’ knowledge and understanding of human rights and peace both at the national and regional level.\nTo foster collaboration and networking among researchers and institutions in Lao PDR and the broader Southeast Asian region.\n\nTarget Participants \nThe targeted participants for the research training are Laotian emerging scholars and graduate students (Master’s/PhD students) interested in and focused on human rights and peace studies. Participants may come from any institution or research center in Lao PDR and will be able to maximize their skills and knowledge through SHAPE-SEA activities fully. SHAPE-SEA will launch a call for participants. At least 15–20 scholars and students from Lao PDR will be selected as participants. SHAPE-SEA will share the announcement and registration form through social media and its website. \nTime and Place \nDate: 26-28 March 2025 \nLocation: Vientiane\, Lao PDR \n
