SUMMARY:Hub Community Programming Board
DESCRIPTION:Last year we announced that we will be experimenting with a Community Programming Board\, which will take off Wednesday\, 15 January!\n\nThe idea of the board is to help ensure the development of (joint) activities and programming that are of value for Hub members and the broader ecosystem. As such\, the board can be both a sounding board and initiator of community activities (see December or January community update for details).\n\n\n\n\nSo far\, 12 diverse Hub members have volunteered to join. The board meeting will take place 8 times a year and are open to participation by other members. If you want to join or have an idea you would like to turn into a community initiative\, join us to explore!

DESCRIPTION:On 23 January\, 2020\, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD Global) is hosting a launch event at the Hague Humanity Hub for their report: “The Many States of Activism: A Global Survey of Youth P/CVE Activists.”  \nThis report comes from their Youth Civil Activism Network (YouthCAN)\, a global initiative dedicated to inspiring and amplifying young\, positive voices against hate and extremism.

We alternate between a dedicated topic\, often led by one of your peers\, and a more open format\, wherein participants bring the challenges\, questions\, or even current events for dialogue with one another. The format decided by owner of that month’s session and the structure can be but is not limited to: \n\n\n\no Informal chat \n\n\n\no Internal/external speaker \n\n\n\no Any other format deemed useful \n\n\n\nA dedicated Slack channel will be created to facilitate communication. \n\n\n\nPurpose: \n\n\n\n· Connect with professionals working in similar roles \n\n\n\n· Act as a sounding board for ideas; a safe space to get feedback on projects \n\n\n\n· Share expertise and experience \n\n\n\n· Compare notes on how to communicate given the current pandemic \n\n\n\n· Share best practices and contacts with local media and suppliers \n\n\n\n· Learn more about projects and communication campaigns from diverse sectors \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Conversations on Conflict - Iran: Is it Always Better to Talk?
DESCRIPTION:Iran and the International Community: Is it Always Better to Talk?\nWe are pleased to announce the fifth in a series of events by LINKS Europe and The Hague Humanity Hub\, which aims to rethink approaches to conflict prevention and resolution. The event on 30 January will focus on Iran’s relations with the international community. Events at the start of this year once more juxtaposed the choice between diplomacy and negotiations and hard power.  \nThe JCPOA agreement between world powers and Iran was in 2015 hailed as success for diplomacy. Yet the agreement is now in tatters\, and the year started with the risk of yet another costly war in the Middle East. Is diplomacy always better than hard power? What space exists for informal diplomacy and track 2 initiatives in such circumstances? \nWe are delighted to welcome our keynote speaker\, Susan Collin Marks – Peace Ambassador and Former Senior Vice President of Search for Common Ground – a non-profit founded in 1982 with the mission to transform the way the world deals with conflict\, away from adversarial approaches\, toward cooperative solutions. Search was nominated for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. \nAfter the speaker’s presentation there will be an open discussion\, in which we welcome and encourage the participation of the audience. The event will end with networking drinks for all those in attendance. \nRegistration is mandatory for this event! Please note that there will be photography on event premises. Photographs and video/audio recordings may be used for promotional purposes on social media and elsewhere. \n[av_button label=’Register Now’ link=’manually\,https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/thcoc-iran-and-the-international-community-is-it-always-better-to-talk-tickets-90121308259′ 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=”] \nThe Hague Conversations on Conflict is a series of discussions\, lectures\, workshops and networking events launched by LINKS Europe in association with The Hague Humanity Hub\, in June 2019. Their aim is to provide a forum where the changing nature of war and conflict can be analysed and assessed\, together with the responses of international society.
