ABOUT THE CIVILIAN AGENDA
The Civilian Agenda amplifies civilian voices, placing them at the forefront of international discussions on armed conflict. Through harnessing the power of first hand accounts, investigative reports, and multimedia storytelling, we aim to shape public opinion, influence policy and drive political change to protect the rights, dignities and wellbeing of civilians worldwide.
what we do.
1. Observing International Movements and Diplomatic Processes
2. Translating War Issues into Films
3. Screening Films to Spark Change
A Purpose-Driven Approach
Recognizing the immense toll armed conflicts take on civilians, The Civilian Agenda aims to extend discussions beyond the usual diplomatic circles. We firmly believe that popular public opinion can mobilize governments to enact policy changes and foster better international engagements, ultimately leading to enhanced civilian protection.
Transcending Communication Barriers
In today's digital era, meaningful discussions on armed conflicts often remain confined to experts, government workers, and observers. Unfortunately, this can lead to disengagement among the general public due to overwhelming information and a lack of clear solutions or calls to action. The Civilian Agenda aims to remedy this by making information and public education more accessible.
The Power of Cinema
The Civilian Agenda's approach involves translating war-related issues into compelling cinema. As a not-for-profit producer, we collaborate with talented directors from around the world, including those from affected communities, to craft messages that resonate with audiences and prompt meaningful action.
A Collaborative Endeavor
The Civilian Agenda relies on a diverse group of contributors, primarily affected communities, but also researchers, policy advisors, academics, diplomats, governmental leaders, and independent filmmakers. By drawing on this wealth of knowledge and expertise, our cinematic creations are grounded in the desire for deep understanding of the challenges faced by civilians in conflict zones and call to actions on multiple levels.
