Social Movements

This session will feature **[Viviane Ogou i Corbí](https://www.congreso.es/es/busqueda-de-diputados?p_p_id=diputadomodule&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&_diputadomodule_mostrarFicha=true&codParlamentario=397&idLegislatura=XV&mostrarAgenda=false)**[,](https://www.congreso.es/es/busqueda-de-diputados?p_p_id=diputadomodule&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&_diputadomodule_mostrarFicha=true&codParlamentario=397&idLegislatura=XV&mostrarAgenda=false) activist, anti-racist political leader, and **Member of the Spanish Congress,** who brings a unique perspective from both institutional politics and grassroots organising. As founder and president of Puerta de África, she has been at the forefront of youth empowerment and the promotion of African studies in Spain. In an era of shrinking aid budgets, rising defence spending, and weakening multilateralism, what does meaningful international cooperation look like today? While many governments are turning inward, Spain is emerging not as Europe’s largest donor, but as one of its most credible political voices on global development and cooperation. Spain’s evolving model brings together legal commitment, decentralised solidarity, strong civil society engagement, feminist policy, and a human rights-based approach. Its 2023 cooperation law gave legal status to the commitment to reach 0.7% ODA by 2030, while its current Master Plan frames international cooperation as part of a broader project of global justice. At the same time, Spain’s model—deeply rooted in local and regional participation—raises important questions about coordination, coherence, and effectiveness. In this event, we will explore whether Spain’s approach—bridging grassroots solidarity and global engagement—can offer a compelling alternative for Europe at a time of shifting priorities. Can solidarity still be a strategy in today’s geopolitical landscape? And what can other countries learn from Spain’s experience? **Format:** • 30-minute talk by guest speaker Viviane Ogou i Corbí • Open group conversation and Q&A • Networking drinks afterwards **Open question for discussion:** Is Spain truly building a different model of cooperation, or is it mainly offering stronger political ambition than its budget still supports? **Who should come?** • Professionals interested in international development, social impact, and European cooperation • NGO workers, researchers, and policy professionals • Anyone curious about Spain’s evolving role in global justice and human rights • People who enjoy thoughtful conversations and meeting others interested in global issues **Location:** UPF solidària (UPF) - Auditori de Mercè Rodoreda del Campus de la Ciutadella Ramon Trias Fargas, 25-27 08005 Barcelona

**CICLE PRESENT I FUTUR DE L’HOSPITALET** El diumenge 23 de maig de 2027 es celebraran les eleccions municipals. Els ciutadans i les ciutadanes de L’Hospitalet decidirem, amb el nostre vot, la composició del consistori en el període 2027-2031. A un any vista dels comicis, sembla bon moment per reflexionar, de forma pausada i dialogant, sobre quin és l’estat de la ciutat en aquests moments. Al llarg de cinc sessions raonarem i dialogarem sobre els punts febles i els punts forts de la nostra ciutat, així com dels reptes que tenim en el futur i que s’hauran d’afrontar. I volem fer-ho, com sempre fem a Espai de Reflexió, des de l’exposició raonada i el diàleg constructiu. Dedicarem cinc sessions a la discussió de diferents punts de vista amb la presència dels partits polítics: PSC, ERC-EUIA, PP i ECP-ECG. A més, iniciarem el cicle amb el portaveu d’Espai de Ciutadania, que és un punt de trobada de 55 entitats que, de forma transversal, treballen la defensa de valors com ara l’Estat del Benestar o les llibertats. Creiem que obrir un debat constructiu i plural ha de servir per analitzar la nostra realitat amb la finalitat de trobar pautes i proposicions de futur que millorin la nostra ciutat. Participa, reflexiona i debat amb nosaltres en aquest cicle!

Hola a tod@s, Continuamos con nuestras charlas mensuales en el café La Opera. En esta ocasión yo mismo realizaré la charla. Para los que no me conocéis soy Doctor en historia contemporánea por la UB y fundador de este grupo de meet up. La India es ya la quinta economía del mundo y ya ha superado a China como el país más poblado del planeta. Su potencial es colosal y su proyección internacional, cada vez más decisiva. En esta charla exploraremos las claves del impresionante despegue indio durante la última década: los motores económicos, sociales y tecnológicos que han impulsado su ascenso. También analizaremos las luces y las sombras del liderazgo de su controvertido primer ministro, Narendra Modi, incluyendo las críticas a su deriva autoritaria. ¿Está India llamada a convertirse en una superpotencia global? ¿Es Modi un peligroso representante de la ultraderecha mundial? ¿Qué papel juega India en el complejo tablero de la geopolítica y las relaciones internacionales? Una oportunidad para entender el despertar de un gigante que ya está redefiniendo el equilibrio mundial. RESUMEN DEL PLAN: TÍTULO: **EL DESPERTAR DE UN GIGANTE: LA INDIA DE MODI** Ponente: Miguel Garau (Dr. en historia contemporánea y animador de este grupo de meet up) Duración de la charla: 60-75 minutos A continuación preguntas y tertulia abierta LUGAR: En el primer piso del mítico Café la Opera (Las Ramblas). Sala reservada exclusivamente para nosotros, donde podrás disfrutar de una bebida mientras escucháis Aforo limitado. Por favor se ruega compromiso, si no vais a venir desapuntaos previamente. Precio: 14 Eu (consumición aparte) Muchas gracias de antemano a tod@s, ¡Os espero! Miguel

Led by Brian Drafton-Griffin, this engaging workshop offers practical tools and meaningful insights to help you navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event!

For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area.

With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
