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. She has eight active doctorate researchers working on WeValue InSitu shared values research.   \n\n\n\nMarie was the lead Coordinator of the EU research project ESDinds This link opens in a new tab which conceived the early WeValue concept\, designed to help Civil Societies decide what they wanted to be evaluated on more fairly\, through action research. She has written a book\, other chapters and over 15 papers on different developments and applications of WeValue\, within her 60+ peer-reviewed articles (see Google Scholar).   \n\n\n\nShe is currently Co-Investigator on the £18 million UKRI Interdisciplinary Hub\, “Action Against Stunting This link opens in a new tab”; theme lead in a MOST-China project on urban climate change in China and Vienna; and theme lead on a current UKRI project on Infrastructure investment in UK coastal towns – all of which use local shared values to inform them. Her initial training was in nuclear physics.

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.

SUMMARY:Municipality The Hague - Lecture on "Why European Security is Human Security"
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nThe Municipality of The Hague will be hosting a special lecture at The Hague Humanity Hub on “Why European Security is Human Security”. The lecture will be held by Tara Verma This link opens in a new tab who is a Visiting Fellow Foreign Policy\, of the Brookings Institution’s Center on the United States and Europe This link opens in a new tab. She will explore the developments in Europe’s reckoning of its own role on the international stage\, and the role it has to endorse in making the multilateral order work. \n\n\n\nLecture Road Map\n\n\n\nThis lecture will address strategic shifts in European thinking since the beginning of the Covid pandemic\, as well as ramifications of European foreign policy decision-making and consequences for the general public. With the advent of social media and the information age\, citizens and decisions-makers are provided with news in real-time. The two key challenges for Europe and European citizens now are to ensure that in an increasingly fragmented world\, the European voice distinguishes itself as a convening force for allies and partners\, as well as to answer to its citizens’ preoccupations. How Europe addresses the tension between internal and external challenges – after Brexit\, the 2015 migration crisis\, after the shock of a Donald Trump administration\, Covid\, Russia’s war on Ukraine\, and tragic developments in the Middle East – will be an indicator of its willingness and capacity to act. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n16.00 Doors open\n\n\n\n16.30 Opening remarks by Mariëlle Vavier          (Deputy Mayor for International Affairs\, City of The Hague)\n\n\n\n16.35 Lecture by Tara Varma\n\n\n\n17.05 Q&A  \n\n\n\n17.30 Reception in the Humanity Hub Café\n\n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night: Aurora's Sunrise
DESCRIPTION:Honouring Human Rights Day\, the Just Peace Movie Night will delve into Armenian Genocide with the screening of Aurora’s Sunrise. \n\n\n\nAbout Arora’s Sunrse: \n\n\n\nEpic reconstruction of the story of Aurora Mardiganian and the Armenian genocide. Beautiful animation shows Mardiganian’s odyssey from surviving the genocide to having her story filmed in Hollywood in 1919. Interspersed with archival interviews with Mardiganian and scenes from the original film\, which was thought lost for decades. \n\n\n\nIn 1919\, the silent film Auctions of Souls premiered in New York\, about a teenage girl who survived the Armenian genocide. The lead role was played by Aurora Mardiganian\, on whose life the film was based. Auctions of Souls became a huge success\, but not long after\, all copies of the film disappeared. Mardiganian\, who was briefly a famous figure in the U.S.\, retreated into anonymity. Shortly after her death in 1994\, 18 minutes of the film were recovered. \n\n\n\nAurora’s Sunrise by Inna Sahakyan tells Mardiganian’s incredible story. It is an epic tale of the flight from genocide and all the hardships and violence – but also the kindness and sacrificial health – that Aurora encountered on her journey. A brave film about a subject – the Armenian Genocide – that even today takes great courage to bring into the spotlight. \n\n\n\nFollowing the screenings\, engage in a discussion with the director of the film and experts in the field\, and participate in a Q&A\, exploring the intersection of genocide and Human rights. \n\n\n\nWhy Aurora’s Sunrise? \n\n\n\nIn light of the Human Rights Day on December 10\, at this event\, we aim to shed light on the human rights issues in Armenia and the significance of advocating for them through storytelling and media. \n\n\n\nAurora’s Sunrise unveils the historical injustice of the Armenian Genocide\, highlighting the systematic violations of the right to life and the targeting of cultural and religious identities. The film prompts reflection on the ongoing denial of the genocide and the importance of accountability. Aurora’s Sunrise is a film that serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to prevent and address genocidal acts. With this screening\, we aim to educate and raise awareness\, on the intersection between genocide and human rights\, the importance of early intervention\, and the value of remembrance. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n18:00 – Doors open and registration and drinks available to purchase at Hub Café \n\n\n\n18:30 – Welcome and introduction by moderator \n\n\n\n18:35 – Film Screening: Aurora’s Sunrise \n\n\n\n19:35 – Short break \n\n\n\n19:45 – Moderated discussion and Q&A with audience and experts \n\n\n\n20:45 – Networking and drinks available to purchase at Hub Café \n\n\n\n21:30 – Event ends \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP

SUMMARY:KPSRL & IDLO to Host - KPAC23: Margins | Centres of Security & Rule of Law
DESCRIPTION:Who gets to interpret\, evaluate\, shape\, think about\, and write about social contracts? Who gets to make decisions on the role and contribution of security and the rule of law within them? Which experiences\, perspectives\, and stories are systematically made (in)visible\, or politically (ir)relevant for SRoL policy and programming? \n\n\n\nIn follow-up of the Knowledge Platform Annual Conference in Nairobi (KPAC23) both The Hague Humanity Hub members KPSRL This link opens in a new tab and IDLO This link opens in a new tab are hosting KPAC23 which will discuss the contribution of SRoL policy and programming to social contracts using the lens of Margins | Centres. The centres are the spaces in which one can define and shape a dominant interpretation of a particular issue and\, if relevant\, prioritise individual and public action\, while the those within the margins follow those interpretations and agenda-setting. \n\n\n\nEvent Aims: \n\n\n\n➡ Uptake of recommendations and conclusions from KPAC23 in Nairobi\, by translating these to the policy and INGO realities in The Hague➡ Identifying possible points of divergence between discussions in Nairobi and The Hague and what needs to happen to bring these closer to each other. This should be fed back to KPAC23 Nairobi participants too➡ Making voices heard in The Hague from those that normally can’t access KPAC – so in this case predominantly the East Africa region➡ Connect partners in The Hague➡ Providing accountability towards the Nairobi event \n\n\n\n\nMore Info Here

DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nThis event hosted by the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam (ISS) This link opens in a new tab will have an expert panel explaining the case Ismail Ziada’s lawyers are now bringing on his behalf to the European Court of Human Rights.  \n\n\n\nAn attack in 2014 resulted in the death of six of Ziada’s family members\, in the context of unlawful attacks on civilians and civilians’ infrastructure in Gaza. The Dutch courts refused to consider his war crimes claim against the Israeli officials on the grounds that the officials were protected by state immunity. The case being launched by Mr Ziada against the Netherlands at the European Court of Human Rights challenges this denial of justice in Dutch courts as a violation of the Netherlands’ obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. \n\n\n\nThis event will present and explain to interested press and public this new legal initiative and its significance in the context of unfolding violations in Gaza today. The case is being brought on Mr Ziada’s behalf by Human Rights in PracticeOpens external and the event is supported by a collaborative civil society effort including the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam (ISS)\, the Nuhanovic FoundationOpens external\, Human Rights in Practice and the European Legal Support CenterOpens external. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nPresenter: Helen Duffy This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\nModerator: Jeff Handmaker This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Partos - Navigating power inequalities between Northern and Southern NGOs
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nThis event is an opportunity to dive into a new study providing a comprehensive analysis of concrete actions taken to shift power between NGOs. A just-completed research report\, “Where do we go from here” examines the nature\, extent and effect of actions undertaken by Northern and Southern NGOs within NGO partnerships and the broader aid system. It’s insights can help to figure out where we go from here.

In this way\, dialogue and broadening perspectives in local contexts is encouraged. \n\n\n\nFilm Summary \n\n\n\n‘The future is metallic\,’ Gerard Barron\, CEO of Deep Green Resources\, tells potential investors. His company is developing ways to extract metallic nodules from the ocean floor\, which he claims will open the pathway to a sustainable planet. According to Barron\, the world’s imminent electric car boom can be fully energized by these deep sea treasures. \n\n\n\nBarron’s green pitch gathers much enthusiasm. However\, experts like marine geologist Sandor Mulsow are fiercely against mining the ocean bottom. These minerals are crucial to sustaining the ocean biodiversity – which in turn is crucial to sustaining life on earth. Besides\, the deep seas are determined by treaty to be ‘common heritage of humankind’ – in other words: owned by us all. But the organization that should defend this status\, seems easily manipulated. And are the indigenous people of Papua New Guinea\, whose livelihoods are threatened by the practice\, listened to at all? \n\n\n\nCredits \n\n\n\nDIRECTOR – Matthieu Rytz \n\n\n\nTYPE – Documentary \n\n\n\nCOUNTRY – United States \n\n\n\nYEAR – 2023 \n\n\n\nDURATION – 93 minutes \n\n\n\nSPOKEN LANGUAGE – English \n\n\n\nSUBTITLES – none \n\n\n\n\nMore Info Here!

SUMMARY:Asser Institute - Hate speech and incitement: International criminal and humanitarian law perspectives (HILAC Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the United Nations has remarked on a worldwide surge in hate speech and incitement\, and considered them ‘a menace to democratic values\, social stability and peace.’ In spite of the urgency to address hate speech and incitement\, there is no one universal definition of hate speech or incitement in international law. \n\n\n\nThis HILAC lecture\, organised by the Asser Institute This link opens in a new tab in collaboration with the University of Groningen\, will critically discuss the opportunities and difficulties in identifying a holistic and integrated definition of hate speech and incitement in international law. For example\, to what extent does the principle of legality\, which is fundamental to international criminal law\, limit reliance on human rights law and practice? How does one distinguish between propaganda\, hate speech\, and incitement in international humanitarian law? How do we surface gendered hate speech and gender-based incitement in international criminal judgments? The lecture by Audrey Fino will be followed by an expert panel discussion that will bring together several diverse perspectives.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nDr. Uladzislau Belavusau\n\n\n\nPredrag Dojčinović\n\n\n\nAudrey Fino\n\n\n\nJudge Alphons M.

SUMMARY:ICCT - Book Launch: "Female Jihadis Facing Justice: Comparing Approaches in Europe"
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \n\n\n\nThis webinar hosted by the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism This link opens in a new tab will present findings from their upcoming book “Female Jihadis Facing Justice: Comparing Approaches in Europe”. The book compiled and analysed a unique dataset on female Violent Extremist Offenders (VEOs)\, comprising 283 criminal cases from Belgium\, France\, Germany\, and the Netherlands\, in addition to conducting over 60 semi-structured interviews with relevant practitioners and policy-makers. Speakers will provide insights into the main findings made in the four different country contexts\, provide a cross-cutting analysis\, and discuss ways forward to enhance a gender-sensitive management of female VEOs throughout the criminal justice system. \n\n\n\nContext: \n\n\n\nWomen made up around 20 percent of the individuals who left Europe to join the so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (ISIS). Furthermore\, over the past few years\, a number of terrorist plots in Europe involved women. As a result\, the perception of these women has evolved significantly since 2015. Initially only seen as victims\, there is now a greater attention to their roles within a terrorist organisation\, as well as to the threat they may pose in prison and afterwards. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n> Thomas Renard – Director of ICCT This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n> Tanya Mehra –  Senior Research Fellow and Programme Lead at ICCT This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n> Marc Hecker – Deputy Director of the French Institute of International Relations This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n> Sofia Koller – Senior Research Analyst at the Counter Extremism Project  This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:KPSRL & Propel - Exploring the Role of Tools for Programmatic Learning
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nThe Programmatic Learning Instrument (PLI) is a funding instrument of Hub member the Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law (KPSRL) to support programmatic learning across security and rule of law programming. As part of the PLI\, the KPSRL is currently running pilots and commissioning a study to enhance their understanding of how approaches to programmatic learning can and should be structured to effectively contribute to quality and impact of programmes. This joint research endeavour seeks to deepen the understanding of using tools – such as Propel – within the realm of the Security and Rule of Law (SRoL) sector and their role for programmatic learning. \n\n\n\nFocus Questions \n\n\n\nWhat role do tools play in the SRoL sector’s programmatic and organisational learning?  \n\n\n\nHow can the integration of digital tools\, including Propel\, within the PLI framework be optimised for enhanced learning\, collaboration\, and impactful outcomes? \n\n\n\nBy participating in this project\, you will have the chance to:  \n\n\n\n\nExchange Insights: Collaborate with peers on the topic of programmatic learning and innovative approach to learning\, specifically in the SRoL sector to exchange ideas and insights.\n\n\n\nDeepen Understanding: Gain a profound understanding of both organisational and programmatic learning. During this first session\, you can contribute your own learning questions that you have wanted to uncover for us to investigate throughout this project.\n\n\n\nExplore Tools: Discover how complementary tools like Propel and approaches used in the Programmatic Learning Instrument can support learning processes. We will invite you to follow along with our progress and explore the findings with us.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here! This link opens in a new tab
