Last week, A COST Action bid was submitted for consideration. It brought together 33 proposers from 21 countries to Reframe the dominant social narratives around Migration, Access to Health and Social Care, Democracy and Climate Action, using Care Ethics Philosophy, Theory and Practices. The network plans to centralise people with experience in partnerships with academics, arts practitioners and the media. PIER were asked to contribute as part of that process, funded by FHSS Pump Prime.

At Bournemouth University on 25th April 2019, a community meeting brought together people from BU PIER and volunteers from Hope for Food to talk about major societal challenges. The meeting was a demonstration of community involvement for a European network funding bid meeting to the COST Action stream. The application is based around renewing how major societal challenges are framed by using a different way of seeing and thinking about them with care. That application is a partnership between members of CERC: BU Dr Tula Brannelly, and Professor Carlo Leget at Utrecht University of Humanistic Studies and Professor Petr Urban from Prague.
