THE GREEN SCREEN!
This week, The Green Screen made 'Burning Out' available for free for 48h
on 21-22 July. The documentary by filmmaker Jérôme le Maire captures
everyday life in the surgical department of a Parisian hospital. He paints
a disconcerting picture of the imminent burnout threatening the healthcare
system.
During the debate 'Invest in healthcare! Addressing vulnerabilities in
European public healthcare systems' held on 22 July, we explored the state
of health care systems across Europe, and how they can be rebuilt to ensure
a more resilient and sustainable Europe. If you missed it, you can catch up
here.

SAVE THE DATE!
Our next session on Fighting Inequality through COVID-19 Recovery will be
in September. Save the date now and book your ticket on release. Only 1,000
tickets are available for each screening.

FLOODS - EXTREME WEATHER
At least 200 are dead and hundreds are missing following the days of floods
that have devastated German, Belgian and French cities and villages. In
January 2021, the global temperature was the highest on record. And what is
clear is that floods are made more frequent and severe due to the increase
of extreme weather patterns caused by climate change.

4 DAY WORK WEEK
The 4 day work week has many benefits. As we have seen from the recent
Icelandic trial - the 4 day / 32h work week does not only enhance worker
wellbeing, but it has also been shown to maintain or increase productivity
in the workplace. It also contributes to safeguarding the environment,
creating more gender equality and social cohesion, and enriching democracy!

RECKONING WITH COLONIALISM
On 1 July 2021, the Mayor of Amsterdam and member of GroenLinks Femke
Halsema issued a public apology on behalf of the city council for the
involvement of former city governments in the slave trade and slavery. She
held her speech on the day of Keti Koti, which marks Emancipation Day in
Suriname and is the celebration of the abolition of slavery in 1863.
