๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ is a Cologne-based non-profit organization dedicated to fostering positive change through humanitarian aid, education, and community empowerment. Founded by Celine Bรถhr, the organization operates with the belief that compassion and unity can drive meaningful, sustainable impact.
M๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ supports a diverse range of initiatives across different regions, including documentary support in Columbia. The 10-minute rough cut screened at this workshop is part of a documentary filmed in February 2025 by Jacob from Watson Earth Production. This film explores what it means to be rich in the mountains of rural Colombia, far from the pace of urban life and conventional ideas of success. Through personal interviews, intimate moments, and stunning visuals of daily life, it opens a window into ways of living - and ways of valuing life - that may surprise, move, and challenge us.

The ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ) is an Amsterdam-based non-profit organization affiliated with the University of Amsterdam committed to better communication on international solidarity. They consider representation and discourse as integral to the production of the Global South and see the communication on (the needs of) so-called 'developing' nations and peoples by government, industry, NGOs and the media in the Global North as part of the problem of (the failure of) international cooperation and humanitarian aid and worldwide issues of poverty, inequality and injustice. In other words, they do not consider humanitarian communication as a means to an end, but as part and parcel of the end itself. ๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ organizes awareness events, notably the Humanitarian Communication Awards and the Humanitarian Communication Thesis Prize, and provide international cooperation and humanitarian aid organizations with solicited and unsolicited advice on how to do their humanitarian communication (strategies) better, meaning, more ethical, inclusive and equitable. In addition, they organize, host and participate in various workshops and other events throughout the year, including this exciting workshop in Cologne.
