From 7 to 12 September 2025, NOVACT held the seventh edition of Rizoma in Tunis, bringing together 18 young participants for a week of training, field visits and collective learning. The programme aimed to strengthen skills, foster collaboration and create meaningful encounters with local organisations working on human rights, press freedom and community-based initiatives.
Throughout the week, the group visited a wide range of organisations, including LTDH, TuniFact, SNJT, Nawaat, ATFD, Ado+, RSF, El Qatiba, Calam, Shanti and Mass’Art.
Participants also met twice with the World Sumud Flotilla and engaged in a dedicated session on Western Sahara, which opened an important space for dialogue on a frequently underreported issue.
Collective Experience and Shared Learning
Rizoma 2025 stood out for the diversity of perspectives within the group and the richness of the exchanges. Sessions combined practical learning, emotional reflection, debates and hands-on activities, creating a safe space to share experiences and explore different approaches to activism, media work and community engagement.
