FOEE: Leading the charge for environmental justice
The environmental advocacy organization Friends of the Earth Europe is fighting for social equity in a sustainable world. As the largest grassroots environmental network in Europe, FOEE unites over 30 national organizations and thousands of local groups, working tirelessly to advocate for a just and sustainable future.
Their mission resonates deeply with our core values within PANEURAMA, as they campaign to get decision-makers in the EU, in governments across Europe, and in the private sector to work for a regenerative future where humanity thrives in harmony and balance with nature.
An Inspiring Partnership
For PANEURAMA the partnership with Friends of the Earth Europe is a significant step to ensure that our creative journey with students, graduates and young professionals from animation and visual engineering serves a higher purpose. Together the partners will enable the participants of NXT GEN LAB to join in on a mission to create campaign films that spark conversation and drive positive change.
