Radio Netherlands Worldwide writes about the first week of our joint project 360 Degrees:

“Is this the moment for more freedom?” RNW’s Arabic Department, Cartoon Movement and media partners in the Arab region posted this question on social media sites during the first week of 360 Degrees, a new project designed to look at the world from different perspectives. People were invited to tweet their views using a common hashtag: #360D. Cartoonists drew cartoons based on the tweets.

The freedom theme was particularly relevant to the current situation in Egypt, where supporters and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi are engaging in daily protests and discussions about the new constitution and the division of powers in the country.
