Loesje is an international network of young, creative citizens organised both in local informal groups and national associations. It is also a “Dutch girl” who so-to-say signs all the posters. The foundation Loesje International, founded in the Netherlands, with its seat in Berlin since 6 years. The Loesje Armenia and, in general, Loesje network’s main focus areas are culture and creative expression; human rights and democracy; international peace, tolerance and the fight against racism and xenophobia; environmental protection and climate change and international as well as personal development. To stimulate active democratic participation and to empower people, a monthly poster series is published online, from the results of Loesje creative text writing workshops across the globe. The texts are about current topics in society, as well as constantly newsworthy themes. They are questioning, sometimes critical, but always positive and inspiring. The posters are free for anyone to download, print out and hang up. With the posters, Loesje inspires people to reflect, take action and form their own opinions. As well as this, Loesje develops inspiring projects which create space for the participants to develop and express their ideas, thoughts and opinions, and offer opportunities to disseminate the results to a wider audience, both locally and internationally. The projects also develop the participant’s know-how in different areas important for an active participation in democratic life.
