SUMMARY:The Hague Summer Institute on Peace Engineering Public Event
DESCRIPTION:What if you could make great contributions to society\, within governments\, developing countries\, and crisis situations\, but still have the prestige\, pay and promising career options that come with a professional engineering degree?\n\n\n\nThe same way you can get a degree in Aeronautical\, Civil or Electrical Engineering\, imagine if you could build a career in Peace Engineering.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2017\, The World Engineering Education Forum\, the Global Engineering Deans Council\, and the International Federation of Engineering decided this needed to become the new reality. The next year\, they hosted the first-ever Peace Engineering Conference\, where Drexel University\, the University of Colorado-Boulder\, the Peace Innovation Lab at Stanford\, the University of New Mexico\, and SensorComm Technologies\, were tasked to form the Peace Engineering Consortium. \n\n\n\nTheir mission? To apply science and engineering principles\, and trans-disciplinary systems-level thinking\, to establish rigorous design principles and processes that directly promote and support conditions for peace\, while ensuring the safe and ethical deployment of emerging technologies. \n\n\n\nDuring the week of August 19\, 2019\, the Peace Innovation Institute will convene Consortium members\, and a select group of top practitioners and researchers from around the world\, for the first Peace Engineering Summer Institute. Hosted by our colleagues from TU Delft and The Hague Humanity Hub\, we will lay the foundations of a Peace Engineering degree program that partner universities will be able to offer to their students. \n\n\n\nOn the morning of Friday August the 23rd\, you are invited to attend the final session of the first Peace Engineering Summer Institute. Join us as we present our plan for the future of Peace Engineering\, research and education.  \n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend\n\n\n\n\nEntrepreneurs who are interested in building for-profit PeaceTech startups\nCorporate executives who are interested in creating positive\, high-performance cultures in their organization\nAcademics who are interested in the rigorous\, systematic research\, development\, validation\, and deployment of PeaceTech systems\, and of their effect on society.\nNGOs who are looking for high leverage positive impact on previously intractable social challenges\nGovernment mayors and ministers who care about ways to measurably strengthen social fabric in their community\, constituency\, or society\, while also strengthening positive relations with their neighbors.\nESG and Social Impact Investors who are seeking emerging high value technology green fields that also have high positive social impact.\nStudents who are interested in a Peace Engineering career.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy you should come\n\n\n\nWith this first annual Summer Institute\, Peace Engineering is poised to take off globally\, and The Hague is going to be at the epicenter. If you’re interested in a Peace Engineering career\, as a practitioner or researcher\, or if your organization is interested in creating positive social impact\, this open session is where you need to be. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nSeating for the open session this year is limited\, and by RSVP only\, so please respond quickly.

SUMMARY:Future Session: Economic Perspectives on Urban Futures and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, The Spindle and the Hague Humanity Hub collaborate in organising a series of (almost) monthly inspirational working sessions for our mutual communities! In the next months\, we will dedicate three Future Sessions to exploring the future of cities and the significance of urban trends for development and development cooperation. The world is increasingly becoming more urban\, with Africa and Asia being the fastest urbanizing continents. Cities are growing in size\, and by 2030\, there will be 41 cities with more than 10 million inhabitants. During this Future Session Special\, we explore the challenges\, consequences and opportunities for you and your organisation. The sessions are high in energy and always involve an expert. \n  \nWhat does the rapid urbanisation worldwide mean for resilience\, inclusion\, employability\, and eventually for the (future) work of NGOs in urban contexts? How can we face the underlying challenges\, and how can the related opportunities be seized? \nIn this first interactive session on cities\, Paula Nagler\, economic researcher at the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) based at the Erasmus University Rotterdam\, the Netherlands\, will discuss the topics of urban futures and resilience from an economic lens\, including key aspects of labour markets and entrepreneurship. Behind the current rapid urbanisation lies a combination of pull and push factors\, where employment perspectives play a central role. A critical issue with these trends is the inability of cities to cope with this massive influx of people. Two worrying consequences are the growth of inequalities and the increase in the level of informality in urban areas\, both in terms of employment and of housing. \n  \nAlso\, Anne-Marie Hitipeuw This link opens in a new tab\, working for The Hague on resilience\, will elaborate shortly on the city which is part of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) network. 100RC defines urban resilience as “the capacity of individuals\, communities\, institutions\, businesses\, and systems within a city to survive\, adapt\, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience”. Building urban resilience requires looking at a city holistically: understanding the systems that make up the city and the interdependencies and risks they may face. By strengthening the underlying fabric of a city and better understanding the potential shocks and stresses it may face\, a city can improve its development trajectory and the well-being of its citizens. The 100RC network allows us to learn and cooperate with other cities on tackling our challenge. \n  \n[av_button label=’More information and registration’ link=’manually\,https://thespindle.org/event/future-session-economic-perspectives-on-urban-futures-and-resilience/’ 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=”] \n  \nSave the date for the two other Future Sessions on Urban Futures: \n\nTuesday\, September 24: How the Circular Economy Can Generate Opportunities for Developing Cities;\nTuesday\, October 29: Urban Resilience\, with Cordaid and AMS Institute.\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Community of Practice on Innovative Finance
DESCRIPTION:What does local fundraising mean and how can Southern organisations take the lead in their own funding? What is blended finance exactly\, what is the (business) case behind it and how does that work? Join us on August 29 for yet another informative inspiring meeting of our Community of Practice on Innovative Finance for Development. \n\n\n\nTo follow up on a wish expressed by a number of organisations and interested parties\, in 2019 The Spindle is organising a series of sessions on how different organisations are working with innovative ways of financing development. Each session will touch upon on one or two innovative financing instruments that are currently being explored\, experimented with or implemented. The main goal of these meetings is to exchange on the topic and discuss experiences\, success stories\, pitfalls and recommendations regarding each financing instrument. The session of August 29 will focus on local fundraising and blended finance. \n\n\n\nLocal fundraising – Wilde GanzenHow can local organisations get empowered by learning to raise funds locally and to mobilise other kinds of support? This requires fundamental changes when it comes to the present rules of the ‘development game’. Many Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) and NGOs in the Global South largely depend on foreign funding. Change the Game Academy\, an online and classroom training programme of Wilde Ganzen Foundation\, aims to channel the responsibility to alleviate poverty to where it ultimately belongs: the countries themselves. Accordingly\, it is the local character of this financing instrument which makes the latter innovative. During the session\, Wilde Ganzen will take us on a journey: from challenges to opportunities; from dependency towards local sustainability. \n\n\n\nBlended finance – SolidaridadThe Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development defines blended finance as “the strategic use of development finance for the mobilisation of additional finance towards sustainable development in developing countries.” This additional finance generally comes from the private sector. Accordingly\, blended finance aims at attracting both commercial and private capital towards projects that benefit society while providing financial return to investors. Solidaridad is piloting business cases for the dairy sector in Tanzania via blended finance\, together with Tanga Fresh\, leading dairy producer in Tanzania\, and Mruazi farm\, a commercial livestock management company. This innovative project will be financed partially through loans and partially through subsidies to local partners\, with fund managers overseeing the loans and a revolving fund being in charge of the repayments. \n\n\n\nCurious to discover more about these two innovative financing instruments and engage in this exchange? Join us! \n\n\n\nSign up here: https://thespindle.org/event/community-of-practice-on-innovative-finance-4/
