„The Politics of Care – Networking Social Justice Movements in Eastern Europe“ is a youth exchange meeting with social justice activists from Estonia, Finland, Lithuania and Hungary. It was organised in collaboration with the partner organisations Helsingin Sosiaalinen Oikeudenmukaisuus (Helsinki Social Justice Association), Penki, keturi plius 54°+ (Laboratory of socio-spatial experimentation 54°) in Kaunas and Marom Klub Egyesület in Budapest. The applicant organisation is NGO Oma Tuba in Tallinn. The meeting took place May 22-28th, 2017 in Tallinn. The Advance Planning Visit took place March 30-31st, 2017. The participants of the project were active in the broad spectrum of social justice politics, and particularly in these three contexts: queer/trans/feminist politics, anti-racist politics and solidarity with refugees and anti-austerity activism and alternative economic practices. There were 5 participants (prtp.) from each country (including group leader) in the meeting. Age: 4 prtp. between 18-25 years.;12 prtp. between 26-30 years and 4 prtp. over 30 years old. Gender: 12 females, 6 males and 3 non-binary/trans participants. The participants with fewer opportunities were facing economic obstacles, cultural differences and mental health problems. We also had one refugee participating in the meeting.The meeting aimed to articulate feminist perspectives on the current urgencies of our time, such as the autonomy of migration, the upsurge of racisms and fascisms, conservative attacks on gender equality and the crisis of neoliberal capitalism. The objectives were empowering participants in their local social justice work, exchanging experiences and bringing together people who are likely to meet again in near future and organize together. The meeting created a week-long space where knowledge and practices of social justice activism were shared and discussed. The meeting made use of different facilitation methods originating from the realm of informal learning and political education. A strong focus was on participatory discussion methods, including a lot of work in small groups. The experience of discussing their own practices helped the participants to reflect on the potentials and limitations of their strategies in the context of social justice activism. The experience of learning about practices in other contexts provided inspiration and practical tools for the participants in order to develop their own activities in the local context. We created a space for practical skill-sharing so that the meeting could contribute to the capacity-building processes of all partner organisations. This meeting was a space for intercultural learning which put a strong emphasis on sharing knowledges that are rooted in the local contexts from which the participants are coming from. As much as the issues addressed during the meeting hold a political urgency in the European and international context at large, we also used this meeting as a space, where we developed ideas, methods and strategies together. The impulses that were gathered during the meeting were carried back to the local contexts of participants where they have strengthened the capacities of local social justice initiatives. Another result is having created sustainable transnational contacts from which the partner organisations and participants are already benefitting. We have shared a directory with personal and organisational information with theparticipants, that has and will allow us to contact each other on specific matters. There has already been informal meetings and formal cooperation plans are in the making. After completion of our follow-up activities (events and published articles), the general public in Estonia, Finland, Lithuania and Hungary have a better knowledge and understanding of the different initiatives that are taking place in the region regarding the three core themes of the meeting (migration, economic austerity and gender/sexuality).
