SUMMARY:Hague Talks: How can humanitarian aid workers build resilience in high-stress environments?
DESCRIPTION:As a global society\, we rely upon 570\,000 humanitarian aid workers to bring security\, comfort and basic services to more than 131 million people in need\, including over 68 million refugees displaced by conflict and insecurity. Relief workers operating on the front lines of humanitarian response are routinely exposed to stress and chaos\, and as a result\, the sector continues to shoulder a largely overlooked mental health crisis. \nWorking in countries affected by war and natural disasters is inherently stressful\, yet aid workers also face a layer of psychological vulnerability which is exacerbated by the lack of adequate training\, support and management for such issues. The failure to adequately prepare and support staff has enormous negative consequences at three levels: \n\nIndividual humanitarian aid workers suffer increased trauma and stress levels\, perform under their potential\, get burned out and leave the field earlier.\nHumanitarian organisations operate less efficiently\, with higher costs for insurance and medical care\, and high staff turnover causing loss of institutional knowledge and inflated recruitment costs.\nPopulations in need receive a lower quality of care from agencies with high staff turnover and aid workers who are over-stressed\, less experienced and under-trained.\n\nThrough this event\, we explore more around the need for support amongst humanitarian aid workers in relation to stress management. We ask: what are the main stressors experienced by aid workers\, and how does stress impact them? What are the potential routes to resilience\, both at the individual and organisational level? What duty of care do organisations have in relation to the wellbeing of their staff? \nSPEAKERS \n\nDaniel Siegel – as one of the world’s leading neuropsychiatrists\, Dr Siegel focuses on exploring how human consciousness can evolve to meet the unprecedented challenges we face in today’s world. He is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and the founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA.\nHelen Barley – has worked in the international humanitarian sector for over 10 years\, with a focus on managing protection\, education and psychosocial support interventions for crisis affected populations. Helen is the Programme Director of the Contemplative Based Resilience (CBR) Project of the Garrison Institute International\, which aims to develop a more resilient and compassionate humanitarian aid sector.\nLya Jawad – is from Lebanon and for the last six years has worked with local and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Lebanon\, Syria\, Afghanistan\, Iraq and Turkey. Her work in the humanitarian field focused on gender based violence\, psychosocial support\, child protection and empowering the LGBTQIA community to strengthen their resilience.\n\nModerator for the event is Sander Tideman. He is an executive coach\, teacher and author\, with a focus on leadership transitions and strategic change. He is also Executive Director of Garrison Institute International\, which implements the Contemplative Based Resilience (CBR) programme for humanitarian aid workers. \n[av_button label=’REGISTRATION’ link=’manually\,https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hague-talks-building-humanitarians-resilience-in-high-stress-environments-registration-75997896755′ link_target=’_blank’ size=’large’ position=’center’ label_display=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

SUMMARY:Seminar: Cultivating Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The science of mind and its relevance for policy making in education\, health care\, humanitarian aid and the environment.\nWe are at a pivotal moment in our collective history in which the human mind and the sense of self that emerges from it\, are changing the face of our living world.  The events in the outer world can move us rapidly between denial and despair\, from anxiety to depression\, and our often-isolated efforts to make a change in the world can lead us to a feeling of frustration\, fear\, futility and burn-out. \nAt the same time\, insights from the new “science of the mind” into our mental and emotional life can give us great hope. We now know methods to empower our consciousness\, emotions\, beliefs\, identity\, relationships\, health and behavior away from stress and anxiety into resilience\, compassion\, well-being and meaningful action. Moreover\, with these insights we can also envision more effective human-centered policies in fields such as education\, health\, the environment\, peace and justice. The insights into how we are wired “internally”\, can also inform us how to achieve social change “externally”. \nInspired by these fundamental ideas\, this gathering of experts\, educators\, humanitarians\, social entrepreneurs\, philanthropists and policy makers aims to: \n\nInspire conversations about how to harness the human capacity to direct cultural evolution for wise action toward a more compassionate and resilient human culture.\nOffer a combination of deep experiential immersions with conceptual discussions and practical skill building based insights from science.\nNurture personal\, professional\, and public resilience\, cultivate well-being\, and inspire ingenuity through strengthening the mind and integrating the experience of “self” as we develop effective and timely means for action in the world.\n\nThis day-long seminar will provide immersive experiential exercises and conceptual discussions with a focus on how we can change systems underlying our relationships with people and the planet.  The presenters have been working for decades on how to understand and transform systems related to our interpersonal\, societal\, and environmental health.  One of those collective efforts has been the study and cultivation of “generative social fields” in which families\, schools\, businesses\, governments\, and the larger society in which we live can create relational interactions that support the nurturance of compassion\, connection\, curiosity and well-being.  Within such generative fields\, a sense of belonging\, meaning and effective action emerges. \nCome join us for a day of deep experiential learning intended for anyone interested in how to cultivate the individual development and pervasive leadership capacities to facilitate systems change in local and global ways that will help promote a healthier world. Limited places available! \n[av_button label=’Information and Registration’ link=’manually\,https://www.garrisoninstitute-int.org/seminar-cultivating-resilience/’ link_target=” size=’large’ position=’center’ label_display=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

SUMMARY:Creative Session with Enterprise for Peace Scholars
DESCRIPTION:About One Young World and the Enterprise for Peace Scholarship\nFrom 22-25 October 2019\, the One Young World Summit 2019 will take place in London. Around 2000 young leaders from 196 different countries will take part in this conference that will connect change-makers to discuss and develop initiatives addressing the Sustainable Development Goals and create further social impact.\n  \nBuilding on the positive experience of Dutch participation in this Summit and a contribution to the conference by way of an extensive scholarship programme\, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) is once more supporting a group of 50 young people (selected by the MFA and the Orange Corners team of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency) to take part in the Summit in London.\n  \nThe selected ‘Enterprise for Peace Scholars’ are all contributing to sustainable economic development in different ways\, through job creation and initiatives for poverty alleviation. The selected change-makers all come from the MENA region\, the Sahel and the Horn of Africa.\n  \nThe MFA and the Orange Corners team are organising a pre-Summit programme on Sunday 20 and Monday 21 October\, with the themes of entrepreneurship\, leadership and youth employment. The objective of this additional two-day programme is to increase the capacity and knowledge of these young people about these themes and thereby increase their impact in their home countries. In addition\, we would like to create a stronger connection between Dutch policy makers\, executioners and civil society and the young people coming from Africa and the Middle East.\n  \nYOU ARE INVITED:\nThis is why\, on Monday 21 October 2019\, we are visiting the Hague Humanity Hub for an interactive session with some of the Hub’s members. We would like to create an opportunity for some of the Hub’s members and the Enterprise for Peace Scholars to pitch their initiatives and enter into discussion about the themes that affect them and their initiatives\, which will undoubtedly lead to new insights\, cross-pollination of ideas and potential new collaborations. In addition\, it is a great opportunity to showcase one’s work to several employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency who will be present for this session.\n  \nWhat:\nThe Hague Humanity Hub Session with Enterprise for Peace Scholars (HUB MEMBERS ONLY)\nWhen:\nMonday\, 21 October\, 11:15-12:30\nWhere:\nThe Hague Humanity Hub\, Fluwelen Burgwal 58\, 2511 CJ\, Den Haag\n  \nProgramme\n11.00-11.15: Arrival Enterprise for Peace Scholars at Hague Humanity Hub\n11.15-11.30: Introduction by Hague Humanity Hub Team\n11.30-11.55: 5 Pitches (3 Hague Humanity Hub members\, 2 Enterprise for Peace Scholars)\n11.55-12.30: World Cafe with all participants\n12.30: Enterprise for Peace Scholars leave the Hague Humanity Hub\n  \nTo register\, please e-mail alex.taillandier@humanityhub.net (HUB MEMBERS ONLY).

SUMMARY:Hub Lunch: Environment and Human Rights at Hague Hacks
DESCRIPTION:The Hague Hacks bridges the gap between human rights and technology. We facilitate and connect a range of trans-disciplinary actors to create and develop ideas and technology that empowers human rights defenders (H.R.D.s) and improves the safety and freedom of victims of human rights violations. The Hague Hacks Festival is our main ideation (idea creation) event of the year where we create a trans-disciplinary space for human rights defenders to engage with a wide diversity of disciplines\, and where they can share their experiences and unpack human rights violations in their communities.   \nAt The Hague Hacks Festival\, we bring tech experts\, designers\, engineers\, academics etc.\, as well as H.R.D.s\, diaspora members\, and human rights problem-owners together to share their plurality of perspectives and thus enrich the problem-solving process. This leads to innovative new ideas for human rights advocacy which we believe would never have occurred outside of our Festival ideation sessions.  \nThis year’s theme is Set Free: Tech to Empower Human Rights and Freedoms. So far\, we have established workshop themes: Political Participation (Nicaragua)\, Gender Inequality (Bangladesh)\, Peace Education (Netherlands\, Northern Ireland\, Turkey/Kurdistan\, North Korea)\, and Right to Expression and Association (Hong Kong).   \nWe would like to add a workshop on the theme of the Environment and Human Rights. We believe that the climate crisis presents an urgent threat that transgresses all human rights. There is a link between human rights and the environment\, and we would like to organize a workshop on this theme\, however we feel that we lack the experience and knowledge in environmental activism to effectively draw this link. As such\, we would like to invite you to a consultation in the form of a Hub Lunch at The Humanity Hub on Monday\, October 14th\, from 12–13:00.   \nAny input\, experience or resources that you may offer would be extremely appreciated.   \nThis event is open to Hub members. If you are not a member and would like to join\, please write to info@humanityhub.net.

SUMMARY:The ISIS Files Project
DESCRIPTION:The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism – The Hague (ICCT) in collaboration with the Program on Extremism at the George Washington University (GWPOE) and the New York Times\, cordially invites you to an event on “The ISIS Files”\, part of a series of events discussing the Program on Extremism’s newest research endeavor. The event will be held at the Humanity Hub in The Hague on 10 October 2019. \nOver the last few years\, New York Times foreign correspondent and Program on Extremism senior fellow Rukmini Callimachi led an effort that gathered over 15\,000 pages of documents left behind by ISIS in Iraq. These documents\, which became known as the “The ISIS Files\,” reveal the group’s sophisticated and organized governance structure and provide detailed evidence of their activities and atrocities. In September 2018\, the Program on Extremism and the New York Times announced a research partnership that will enable George Washington University to create the virtual public archive for the ISIS Files. Since the formalization of the partnership\, the Program on Extremism and the George Washington University’s Libraries and Academic Innovation division are in the process of creating a public\, free access digital repository that will allow researchers around the world to access the documents. \nThe event will begin with an opening introduction by Rukmini Callimachi followed by a panel discussion with her and Lorenzo Vidino\, moderated by Renske van der Veer. Following the panel\, there will be a public Q&A session. A reception with drinks and light snacks will follow. \n[av_button label=’Information and Registration’ link=’manually\,https://icct.nl/event/the-isis-files-project-public-event/’ link_target=” size=’large’ position=’center’ label_display=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap - Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law Annual Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Conference is a one-day event that brings our vibrant community of practitioners\, researchers\, and policymakers together for a thought-provoking discussion. As in previous years\, the Annual Conference brings together representatives from national and international governments and policy organs\, think-thanks\, journalists\, INGO practitioners\, activists\, diplomats\, and field researchers from around the globe. These diverse actors assemble with a singular aim: to present their latest projects and freshest ideas\, and engage their peers to learn and improve security and justice policy and programs. \nThis year\, the Secretariat has chosen to investigate a number of gaps – as well as how we can work together to bridge them – under the theme ‘Bridging the Gap: Rhetoric and practice in security and the rule of law’. We hope this theme will challenge participants to interrogate the way the security and rule of law field is organized and framed\, to contribute to the generation of new ideas\, reward taking risks and successful innovation\, and to forge promising and equal relationships to enable progress towards sustaining peace and strengthening the rule of law. \n[av_button label=’More information’ link=’manually\,https://www.kpsrl.org/event/bridging-the-gap-annual-conference-2019′ link_target=’_blank’ size=’small’ position=’center’ label_display=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

SUMMARY:Fighting Double Standards before the ICC: Torture by UK Forces in Iraq
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of Iraqis who were detained by UK forces during the Iraq war have described abuse and torture. Their testimonies show a pattern of violent beatings\, sleep deprivation\, lack of food\, religious humiliation and sexual abuse. The UK has not genuinely investigated senior officials’ accountability for the abuses in Iraq. Therefore\, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) is calling on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to open a formal investigation. \nAt this event\, we will discuss why it is of crucial importance that the ICC investigates UK torture in Iraq. Focusing on the international law community in The Hague\, the speakers will address the importance of the case for the ICC as an institution\, the domestic British debate and views from the MENA region. \nSpeakers:\n\nWilliam Schabas\, Middlesex University\nElizabeth Stubbins Bates\, Oxford University\nRupert Skilbeck\, Redress\nCarla Ferstman\, Essex University\nNadim Houry\, Arab Reform Initiative\nWolfgang Kaleck\, ECCHR\n\n  \nRegistration is mandatory! Deadline is 25 September and no confirmation will be sent. \n[av_button label=’Register!’ link=’manually\,https://www.ecchr.eu/en/event/fighting-double-standards-before-the-icc-torture-by-uk-forces-in-iraq/’ link_target=” size=’large’ position=’center’ label_display=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Fundraising Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Lunch and Learn : Fundraising Revisited – The hidden treasure(s) in our existing set up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn about holistic and SMART fundraising in this training with fundraising expert Somaye Dehban. \nHow often has your organization been solely (or up to 80%) dependent on one or two donors? How often have you wished to have had “core funding” for your organization? \nFundraising is an ongoing activity within any organization to ensure an uninterrupted stream of funds for your programs. The various sources of funding can be categorized in 4 distinctive sets: institutions\, foundations\, companies and individuals. It’s of crucial importance to keep a balanced combination of all these sources to prevent dependence on one donor. Moreover\, creatively identifying new sources and building up on the old sources\, ensures the sustainability of your funding streams. \nIn this training\, with Somaye Dehban\, strategic connector and founder of Your Funding Network\, we delve into the necessary combination of all 4 categories of funding sources as well as the possibilities to walk away from “subsidy-trap”. Moreover\, we will look into how and where you are leaving money on the table from your existing sources. \nMembers of The Hague Humanity Hub get 50% off the admission.

It is also an ode to the vanishing art of the long-form feature or reportage\, which is disappearing because many media organisations can no longer afford it\, or are unwilling to pay for this kind of time-consuming\, on-the-ground journalism.  \n This book showcases a keen eye for the human story and a profound commitment to the human family. By telling the stories\, it helps put a human face on the suffering that is too often viewed statistically and quantitatively. \nBoštjan Videmšek is an award-winning Slovenian journalist\, war correspondent\, and playwright. He is the author of several books about wars\, conflicts\, migration\, refugees\, the Arab Spring\, and the Greek financial crisis\, including 21st Century Conflicts: Remnants of War(s). His articles and stories have been published in The New York Times\, Politico\, Le Figaro\, Der Spiegel\, Aftenposten\, El Periodico\, Sydney Morning Herald\, Middle East Eye\, and Atlantic Post\, among others. He has reported from all major conflicts in last 20 years\, including those in Iraq\, Afghanistan\, Syria\, Darfur\, South Sudan\, Pakistan\, Gaza\, Libya\, Somalia\, and Kosovo.

SUMMARY:Peace\, Security and Climate Change: What Can Businesses Do to Be Part of the Solution?
DESCRIPTION:With the advent of delivering the Sustainable Development Goals agenda for 2030\, International Alert is seeking ways to engage and collaborate with the business sector operating in volatile environments. Good business can be good for peace and sustainable development\, but the mechanisms for achieving this are complicated. They are challenged by the fact that their operations tend to conflict with the needs of local communities due to their impact on land and water – resources that are increasingly under pressure from climate change. \nWhat are the challenges and opportunities for businesses? How can we work together so that the private sector can become a driving force for peace? \nPANEL:\nHans Bolscher\, Former Director at the Ministry of Justice\, Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Economic Affairs\, Netherlands (chair)\nJessie Banfield\, Director of Programmes\, International Alert\nHugo G. von Meijenfeldt\, Sustainable Development Goals Coordinator\, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs\nIain Watt\, Principal Climate Specialist\, Forum for the Future \nMore panel participants to be announced. Please note this is a closed event under Chatham House Rules. \nJoin International Alert at their next Peace Talks event\, celebrating the International Day of Peace and bringing businesses into the conversation! \nThis event takes place at the Nutshuis. \n[av_button label=’Registration’ link=’manually\,https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peace-security-and-climate-change-tickets-68014173223′ link_target=” size=’large’ position=’center’ label_display=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

SUMMARY:From the Ground Up: Yemeni Women’s Participation in the Peace Process
DESCRIPTION:Yemen is going through a fifth year of conflict. In the news you do not hear much about the conflict and even less about the Yemeni who strive for reconstruction of their country. During this program\, they share their stories in short\, personal speeches\, so they can provide an important insight into the life that continues in Yemen\, and what the local needs and challenges are.  \nThe conflict in Yemen has created the one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Since the start of the conflict\, four rounds of peace talks have been organized by the United Nations. It has always been said that the input of young people and women in the peace process is important. However\, in practice it appears that the ultimate influence of these groups is minimal\, while this is just as important for sustainable and inclusive peace. \nThe Yemeni who share their stories all work for organizations that work for women and young people in Yemen. You will hear stories about how life continues in Yemen and how they try to involve young people and women in the peace process. The stories provide insights into the initiatives they set up and what the biggest challenges and needs are. How can international policy makers and aid organizations offer the best help to fit these needs and challenges. \nThe program ends with a lunch and an exhibition. \n[av_button label=’Read More and Register!’ link=’manually\,https://humanityhouse.org/en/event/from-the-ground-up-the-perspective-of-yemeni-on-peace/’ link_target=” size=’large’ position=’center’ label_display=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]
