SUMMARY:Upinion & PAX - A Conversation with and about Syrian Refugees in Lebanon\, Türkiye\, and the Netherlands: a 360 view
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, Syrian refugees are more trapped than ever in an invisible ‘no man’s land’\, between the hammer and the anvil: a country to which they cannot return\, neighbouring countries that no longer want to receive them\, and European countries that are denying them entry in increasingly violent ways.The complete lack of solutions for Syrian refugees has sowed the seeds of a new refugee crisis\, with large numbers of Syrians leaving their host countries in an unsafe manner again in attempts to reach Europe. \n\n\n\nWhat do Syrians themselves\, spread across the region and Europe\, say about their experiences\, hopes and dreams\, and in terms of solutions? A debate from different angles\, including a book presentation by Willem Staes and the real-time involvement of Upinion’s online community of Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Türkiye. Space for further engagement\, book signing\, and drinks afterwards.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nHani Al Rustum (Moderator) \n\n\n\n\nDiana Khayyata \n\n\n\nYasmin Hegazi\n\n\n\nWillem Staes \n\n\n\nNoor Lekkerkerker – Representing the Upinion online community of Syrians in Lebanon and Turkiye\n\n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:Piero Gandini - 'The Box' Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nJoin this dynamic\, interactive\, and entertaining 4-hour workshop hosted by Hub member Piero Gandini. The skills taught in this workshop are inspired by the following reflections:  \n\n\n\nHow often have we been asked\, or have we asked others\, to think out of the box? \n\n\n\nHow often has somebody taught us to think out of the box? \n\n\n\nIs the box the cause of our thinking limitations? \n\n\n\nWhat is in that box? \n\n\n\nThe B❒X methodology physically works with a box on our heads while discovering what is in our box and how we can break in\, break out\, and break through the box to shine and reach higher goals. It is a fun way to go deep in some reflections and\, at the same time\, work on concrete goals as a result of the journey. \n\n\n\n*Are you a Hub member? If so\, you can join this workshop at a discounted price. You can email piero@pierogandini.com for more information! \n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here! This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:ISS: Diaspora humanitarianism - Peacebuilding across borders
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nDuring this Hum-Gov seminar\, Emmanuel Viga will present his research on peacebuilding and conflict resolution activities by refugees living in the Bidibidi refugee settlement in the Yumbe district of Uganda. \n\n\n\nRefugees are often painted as vulnerable and lacking agency in policy debates\, and so are often considered as passive recipients of peace initiatives. Emmanuel Viga’s research looks to reframe this understanding\, and analyses refugees’ roles as active peacebuilders and agents in conflict resolution.  \n\n\n\nDr Awil Mohamoud\, Director of the African Diaspora Policy Centre (ADPC)\, based in The Hague\, will give a reflection on Viga’s presentation\, linking it to the ADPC’s research on wider-spread African diasporas\, their role in humanitarian action\, and influences and linkages between countries of origin and home countries. \n\n\n\nThe presentation and reflection will be followed by a Q&A. \n\n\n\nSpeaker bio \n\n\n\nEmmanuel Viga is a PhD candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology\, Trondheim. He is currently writing a dissertation on civic humanitarianism and sociocultural aid practices amongst South Sudanese refugees in Uganda. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER This link opens in a new tab
