SUMMARY:BarefootLaw's 10 Year Anniversary Celebration - Failing Forward: Building resilience through Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Our member\, BarefootLaw\, as one of the forerunners of innovation in access to justice\, invites all the legal enthusiasts for a day of reflection and deliberation on the future of law. How do we collectively force structural changes to make the legal services more accessible for the most underserved persons and communities? How do we creatively use technology to promote access to justice and how can technology be used effectively to achieve the SDG16 goals? \n\n\n\nOn this occasion\, they aim to reflect on their journey\, recognizing that innovation often blooms from the seeds of failure. “Failing Forward” as the central theme focuses on the invaluable lessons and opportunities that arise when we embrace innovation in the field of law. It is heartfelt exploration of the lessons\, challenges\, and opportunities that have shaped BarefootLaw’s journey in redefining access to justice in grassroots communities. \n\n\n\nCelebrate with BarefootLaw as they look back on ten years of using technology and innovation to facilitate access to justice in Africa. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n\nShort film\n\n\n\nKeynote address by ED BarefootLaw\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion\n\n\n\nNetworking Reception\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nGerald Abila\, Executive Director of BarefootLaw\n\n\n\nSarai Chisala-Tempelhoff\, Founder of Gender and Justice Unit Malawi\n\n\n\nLisa Jordan\, Managing Director of Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:The Handshake (3rd Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Navigating your career in the world of peace & justice can be tough: with so many potential options\, causes\, and routes into the sector. Sometimes it can even be difficult to think where to begin- do I need to do several internships? Does everyone need to go into ‘programme management’? And why does every UN job require a 24-page application form?  \n\n\n\nThat’s why The Hague Peace & Justice Talent Hub has launched ‘The Handshake’: an event series where we invite senior figures from the world of peace & justice to join in conversation and reveal how they have ended up where they are in their career! You will have the chance to ask questions\, get insights\, and be inspired. The third edition features Siobhan Richards from the Mukwege Foundation This link opens in a new tab.  \n\n\n\nSiobhan Richards joined the Mukwege Foundation in 2018 as a fundraising officer\, responsible for institutional fundraising with foundations\, governments and multilateral organisations. She has many years experience of both fundraising and grant-making gained in the UK and the Netherlands. Her diverse experience includes public-facing roles as a trainer and teacher\, managing partnerships and networks\, and capacity building in the non-profit sector. Prior to her work for the Mukwege Foundation she worked for the Heritage Lottery Fund in the UK as a development officer and grants manager\, and as a freelance entrepreneur in the Netherlands. \n\n\n\nJoin us on October 17 (17:00 – 18.30) to hear more about her career journey! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Partos - Book Tour Dirk Jan Koch: Foreign Aid and its Unintended Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Dirk-Jan’s online book tour invites everyone interested in the side effects of foreign aid. Especially organisations interested in exploring unforeseen consequences\, willing to take them into account and wanting to share their knowledge with others are more than welcome to join. \n\n\n\nBook Overview\n\n\n\nDirk-Jan Koch will give an online book tour on his new book ´Foreign Aid and its Unintended Consequences´ at Partos. In this book\, he brings together his teams’ research and his personal experiences with the side effects of foreign aid. Foreign aid (be it humanitarian\, peacebuilding or development support) frequently brings with it a range of unintended consequences\, both negative and positive. This book delves into these consequences\, providing a fresh and comprehensive guide to understanding and addressing them. Dirk-Jan encourages organisations to pay more attention to unforeseen side effects of projects and critical reflection and to focus less on reaching targets and donor-driven goals. Next\, he emphasises the importance of working more with local people when measuring the effects of a project\, instead of organisations only using their own people and methods.   \n\n\n\nWhat to expect?\n\n\n\n\nOpening by Liana Hoornweg\, Director of Partos.\n\n\n\nDuring this session\, you can engage with Dirk-Jan on your experiences with the side effects of international development efforts.\n\n\n\nIrene Sleven\, co-director of VSO NL\, will moderate the session and share her reflections\n\n\n\n\nAbout Dirk-Jan Koch\n\n\n\nDirk-Jan is active as a diplomat\, writer and social scientist and works as the Chief Science Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and is a Professor of International Trade and Development Cooperation at Radboud University.  \n\n\n\nHe has combined practice in diplomacy and development (in\, amongst others\, Nigeria and the DR Congo) with an academic career for the last two decades. He aims to strengthen both policy and academia by creating cross-fertilisation between these two realms\, which are – in his view – too often operating in isolation.   \n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:Lab of Labs: integration\, representation and social exclusion in the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\n\n\n\nPiero Gandini This link opens in a new tab and The Hague Humanity Hub This link opens in a new tab present a Lab of Labs. A pilot series of facilitated conversations seeking to challenge and promote reflections on complex social topics.  \n\n\n\nOur first laboratory will focus on opening conversations and\, most probably\, actionable steps forward around sensitive topics such as integration\, representation\, and exclusion in the Netherlands. Socially there are also challenges as the host communities are not always welcoming them and there are few spaces and initiatives targeting to bridge the gap.  We believe that a social laboratory can become a true tool for radical social transformation. A personal and collective laboratory at the same time. A place from which to launch a truly emancipating life process.  \n\n\n\nIn the coming sessions\, the Lab will explore the challenges\, barriers and needs of front-line NGOs and civil society organizations (CSOs) as well as private sector actors involved in the response. Stay tuned for the reviews and summary of the 1st session\, if you’d like to be involved in the next ones.  Join us for an evening of fruitful discussions!  \n\n\n\nDesired Outcomes\n\n\n\n\n>Facilitated networking among Hub members and broader Hague peace and justice community; \n\n\n\n>Catalyst to open discussions on social problems in the Netherlands (and beyond) \n\n\n\n>Promote reflections and challenge ongoing understanding of integration\, representation and exclusion in the Netherlands for newcomers. \n\n\n\n\nThis series format grants flexibility in the design\, allowing the facilitators and the participants to go beyond these desired outputs.  \n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n\n\nYolanda Jansen This link opens in a new tab  \n\n\n\nShe is a Conversationalist and Restorative Justice facilitator with 25 years of experience in international nonprofits\, guided by her passion for fairness\, impact\, and joyful collaboration.  \n\n\n\n\n\nYiğit Aksakoğlu This link opens in a new tab   \n\n\n\nHe is an impact curator recognized for his pioneering work in advancing social development\, particularly in the domains of human rights advocacy and the scaling up of social services. \n\n\n\n\n\nPiero Gandini This link opens in a new tab  \n\n\n\nHe is a Motivator of Change. A Disruptor. He is engaged in projects\, ideas\, and initiatives that aim to contribute to creating a better world\, and a more inclusive and fair society.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:Driving Systemic Change: Redefining Loss and Damage
DESCRIPTION:Humanity Hub’s member Mercy Corps is hosting a session at the upcoming ImpactFest\, on November 7.  \n\n\n\nThe session\, hosted by Mercy Corps\, the Broker\, and the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance\, in collaboration with Save the Children\, will look at approaching climate justice with a proactive lens.  \n\n\n\nClimate change impacts have become an everyday reality\, which has made ‘Loss and Damage’ increasingly prominent\, especially as it showcases systemic failures at many levels. Thus\, a proactive approach is required to minimise and address ‘Loss and Damage\,’ centring around concrete entry points for action. Through the expert guidance of Barbara Rosen Jacobson\, and Nina Qaiem Maqami\, and through further collaboration with Save the Children\, we challenge all actors across the ecosystem to think about their position in the system\, and how to leverage this position into building climate resilience. \n\n\n\nSign up here to attend the session.  \n\n\n\nFor more information about the ImpactFest\, please visit this page This link opens in a new tab.

SUMMARY:Movies That Matter On Tour: Total Trust
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nOn Tour This link opens in a new tab is a spin-off of the Movies that Matter Festival. Each year\, they select eight great festival titles that they aim to offer a wide platform throughout the country. In cooperation with (currently) seventeen film theatres and local volunteer groups\, they screen a film or documentary that matters\, every month from October to May. The screenings are accompanied by in-depth programmes and guest speakers arranged by local groups. In this way\, dialogue and broadening perspectives in local contexts is encouraged. \n\n\n\nTotal Trust: Summary\n\n\n\nTotal Trust takes a visceral look at digital control in China where unprecedented levels of state surveillance prevail through trust\, fear\, obedience and resistance. It aims to explore the changes of social behaviors caused by an all-seeing society and finds its lasting power in the people who are fighting against the abuse of state power. \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, the Chinese government has felt its control threatened as activism and public outrage increase over a slowing economy and growing social issues. To counteract these events\, China has started extending a sophisticated digital system across the country. Aimed at tracking and monitoring citizens\, collecting\, analyzing their data and categorizing behaviors as either punishable or commendable\, this system hopes to predict political resistance within society before it happens. And since COVID the pandemic is abused to install a gapless digital control net. The citizens are monitored 24/7 as never imagined before. \n\n\n\nWe learn how this complex digital monitoring works through the people living under this surveillance – from ordinary people to people who have been particularly targeted by the government because of their critical thinking. Like lawyers and journalists. \n\n\n\nTrailer\n\n\n\nTrailer Available Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7CVl9IjIh8 \n\n\n\nCredits\n\n\n\nDIRECTOR – Jialing Zhang \n\n\n\nTYPE – Documentary \n\n\n\nCOUNTRY – China \n\n\n\nYEAR – 2023 \n\n\n\nDURATION – 97 minutes \n\n\n\nSPOKEN LANGUAGE – Chinese (Mandarin) \n\n\n\nSUBTITLES – EN / NL \n\n\n\n\nMore Info Here!

SUMMARY:KPSRL - Innovative Funding for Local Peacebuilding Action: Walking the Talk
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Unboxing Localisation session will dive deeper into the financial side of localization. Co-hosted by GPPAC\, it’ll explore innovative financing tools and approaches (beyond just grantmaking) that foster local leadership and local ownership of peacebuilding initiatives. \n\n\n\nBackground Information\n\n\n\nInternational donors\, including the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, are making efforts to promote fair\, equitable\, inclusive and non-extractive partnerships in the current aid system as part of the ongoing efforts to advance the ‘localisation’ agenda that recognises the importance of meaningful engagement of local stakeholders to achieve sustainable and impactful peace. Since 2021\, GPPAC has been contributing to these efforts by creating learning and exchange spaces for local peacebuilders\, the donor community\, and international finance experts to explore opportunities and challenges towards ensuring accessible and impactful funding for local peacebuilding action. In 2022\, with the support of the Dutch Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law\, GPPAC published a paper that presents concrete options to change the way donors and intermediaries distribute their financial support to peacebuilding with the aim of shifting power to local peacebuilders. \n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:Giving local groups a clear Voice: Introducing the WeValue inSitu Method
DESCRIPTION:The Hague Humanity Hub is excited to invite you to an engaging two-fold workshop series with Marie Harder\, a distinguished professor at Fudan University in China.   \n\n\n\nMarie will guide us through the WeValue InSitu Method\, a simple yet effective process that empowers local groups to express their core values in a way that is easy to understand. With this method communities can create a clear portrait of their shared values\, which can then be transformed into tools for making decision\, evaluating proposals\, developing new policies or prioritising development initiatives.   \n\n\n\nWho is it for:   \n\n\n\nLearning about this method can be useful for anyone interested in amplifying local voices in global decision-making.   \n\n\n\nWe particularly invite practitioners in humanitarian work\, sustainable development\, social justice\, law and peacebuilding\, government representatives\, activists and community organisers\, researchers and academics to join the workshop.  \n\n\n\nPlease note that the workshop is by invitation only and has limited capacity. Are you interested to participate? Please send us an email at programming@humanityhub.net  \n\n\n\nWhen: November 23rd 15:00 – 17:00 and November 24th 13:00 – 17:00 (you can attend one or both sessions)   \n\n\n\nWhere: The Hague Humanity Hub   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional information about the method and programme  \n\n\n\nMany of the justice\, sustainability\, and development imbalances in the world come from the lack of a strong and clear voice of what is valued by local groups. But what if informal groups like remote villagers and city neighbourhood volunteers could suddenly produce a framework of statements so clear that they could be used as proto-indicators? How might the world change if local shared values could be stated\, authenticated\, and communicated to ‘others’\, including district planners\, investors\, lawmakers\, environmentalists?  \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, Marie will introduce the methodology WeValue InSitu. This approach guides local communities through a crystallization process\, allowing them to make their lived-values explicit through carefully designed cycles of meaning-making dialogic activities. The outcome is a clear and structured Framework that articulates the shared values most important to their lives\, creating a Narrative that can be shared with external stakeholders. These unique\, community-specific Frameworks serve as “portraits” of the group and can be synthesized to generate Cultural Shared Values representing meaningful and valuable themes within a locality. These values can then be used as indicators for local decision-making\, evaluation tools\, and the ranking of development proposals.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop is organised by The Hague Humanity Hub in partnership with the Office of Global Partnerships of Fudan University and in collaboration with Climate Governance Commission\, Integrity Initiatives International and the Global Governance Forum.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme   \n\n\n\n\nNovember 23rd Session 1 from 14:00 until 17:00: Introduction to the WeValue inSitu Method  \n\n\n\nNovember 24th Session 2 from 13:00 – 17:00: Sandbox session  (optional)\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that the two sessions provided have a different format and objective. The first session is meant to give a general introduction to the method\, the second session is meant as a practical workshop which will allow participants to test and discuss the method in small groups.   \n\n\n\nIt is highly recommended to join the first session prior to joining the second one. However\, feel free to bring a colleague to the second one if you believe they will benefit from it.   \n\n\n\nPlease make sure to register for the sessions separately. Please read additional information about the programme below.   \n\n\n\n1st Session on November 23rd between 14:00 and 17:00   \n\n\n\nIn this presentation we introduce the method named WeValue InSitu\, which takes groups of local persons through a crystallization process whereby their lived-values are made more explicit through specially designed cycles of meaning-making dialogic activity. Within 90-150 minutes the group can articulate the shared values of most importance to their lives and to organize them into a Framework\, providing a Narrative to be used to introduce it to outsiders. This rich\, idiosyncratic data provides a group ‘portrait’\, and several together can be synthesised to produce Cultural Shared Values representing themes of what is meaningful\, worthwhile and valuable to people in a locality. These can be sufficiently concise to be used as indicators for input into localised decision-making tools; evaluation tools; ranking and rating of proposals for local development or informing more acceptable design for the future.  \n\n\n\nThis approach works with any communities of practice\, drawing out their shared tacit knowledge and transposing it too explicit. It has been demonstrated in 15 countries\, in contexts ranging from villages to multinational corporations to slums. Its workshop format is now being formalised into facilitator manuals\, and the underpinning theory of how it works is now understood. It is now time to start its roll-out and scaling out\, and to let more people understand how it can be implemented and how the power of its results – of Local Voices – can shift the balance in different parts of society: power\, finance\, aid\, meaningful jobs\, conservation\, environment\, child provision\, education\, enterprise…  \n\n\n\nThis session will provide an overview of the WeValue InSitu approach\, and some taster experiences of part of it\, and some examples of what can happen when local people used it to crystallise their in-situ shared values into a ‘voice’. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore related ideas.  \n\n\n\n2nd Session: Sandbox session on November 24th between 13:00 and 17:00 (optional)   \n\n\n\n\n13:00 – 13:40 Introduction to the concept and its current uses. Brief Q&A. \n\n\n\n13:50 – 16:00 Workshop formats of the WeValue InSitu approach for participants present. \n\n\n\n\nPre-formed groups of 4-10 people are preferred: there is no need for all group members to be present. Those coming without a group of their own can join a ‘EU residents’ group or using some similar umbrella commonality (assisted by the facilitator). (There will be time for quick refreshments during the workshops)  \n\n\n\n\n16:00 – 17:00 Discussion\, Q&A. Ideas for moving forwards. Networking to form future collaborations. \n\n\n\n\nThis session will provide an opportunity to experience the WeValue InSitu approach\, which crystallizes shared values of small groups of people who have something in common – practices\, area of living\, work. The first 40 minutes will be an introduction of the approach and of applications already found useful. There will then be 2 hours of experiencing the approach\, in groups arranged by the facilitator. The final hour will be for discussions about ways forwards\, and for facilitated networking to form future collaborations.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the host Marie Harder   \n\n\n\nMarie Harder is a Distinguished Professor at Fudan University This link opens in a new tab in China\, where she has been based for eleven years\, while continuing part-time professorship at the University of Brighton\, UK.

SUMMARY:ICCT and Egmont Institute Live Briefing: Gender and far-right ideology
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nThis ICCT Webinar will examine the role of gender in recruitment and radicalisation narratives of extremist activism\, including concepts of femininity and masculinity\, misogyny\, and patriarchy as integral to the ideological worldview and mobilisation of these activists.  \n\n\n\nBook Insights\n\n\n\nDr. Eviane Leidig recently published the book The Women of the Far Right: Social Media Influencers and Online Radicalization (Columbia University Press\, 2023). An in-depth look into the world of far-right women influencers\, exploring the digital lives they cultivate as they seek new recruits for white nationalism.
