SUMMARY:P2P Communication Coffee - Magic of Complexity: How to embrace it?
DESCRIPTION:Crafting compelling narratives for action\, trust building\, and momentum while embracing complexity poses challenges to organisations\, small or large. What are these challenges\, how do we address them\, what principles or considerations do we need to have in mind as we tackle them\, and… how can we compile these into a roadmap? \n\n\n\nJoin the session facilitated by Jessica Immelmann (Space4Good) and Mara Förster (Humanity Hub) to explore how to navigate and embrace (or not) complexity. \n\n\n\nNote: This event is for Hub members only. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:[Online summer workshop] International public interest advocacy
DESCRIPTION:From 5-7 July 2021\, T.M.C. Asser Instituut is organising and hosting a three-day online workshop on international public interest advocacy. \n\n\n\nAdvocating for public interests involves many challenges in the field of international law\, from developing strategic litigation\, to choosing and identifying funding opportunities\, to taking on a cause. Taking on this work also means taking on risk\, and calls for critical reflection. Working as a lawyer on behalf of public interests in the international arena is a developing field\, and sustaining that work requires skills\, knowledge\, and a good network. \n\n\n\nLearn the latest practices from leading practitioners and experts. Get exposed to new actions and ways of advocating for public interests internationally\, including strategic litigation. Be introduced to the latest innovations in law and technology for public interests around the world. Learn about successful initiatives – and about unsuccessful ones. Develop your network in a three-day workshop that will challenge you to think differently about the issues of the day and what we can do about them. With leading figures in the world of international public interest advocacy – from the Public Interest Litigation Project\, Greenpeace\, SOMO\, Human Rights in Practice\, the Global Legal Action Network\, and more – explore the possibilities with pioneers in the field. \n\n\n\nRead the programme here.BackgroundPractices for public interest advocacy face many challenges in the field of international law\, from developing strategic litigation to choosing and identifying funding opportunities to taking on a cause.

SUMMARY:16th EADI General Conference: Solidarity\, Peace and Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:The European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) and the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) EADI General Conference will take place entirely online. \n\n\n\nEven in this virtual format\, the conference will be a very special event. It will benefit from the virtual hospitality of ISS\, one of Europe’s oldest and largest centres for research and education in the field of development studies. \n\n\n\nThe conference will be combined with the Development Dialogue\, the annual European conference of PhD candidates working in development studies. \n\n\n\nAbout the conference\n\n\n\nThe central theme of the conference is ‘Solidarity\, Peace and Social Justice’. Together\, these three concepts represent the organization’s aspirations for approaches to global development that address inequality\, poverty and political marginalization\, also in connection with climate change and other environmental threats.  \n\n\n\nSolidarity is essential for any process of social change. Based on mutually shared interests and human values\, solidarity can be extremely powerful yet can also be easily undermined in an era of fake news and (electronically) manipulated elections.  \n\n\n\nPeace and social justice are similarly important values in (as well as aspired outcomes of) struggles or transformation processes in which solidarity is key. \n\n\n\nThe conference will be hosted by the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS)\, one of Europe’s oldest and largest centres for research and education in the field of development studies. It will be combined with the Development Dialogue\, the annual European conference of PhD candidates working in development studies. \n\n\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION & REGISTRATION

SUMMARY:P2P Facilitation: Activating different types of participants
DESCRIPTION:Lea Scheurer\, from EUKN\, will be hosting the upcoming session\, on ‘Activating different types of participants‘. \n\n\n\nOnline meetings have become the ‘new normal’. Even though they might not be as exciting as on-site ones\, they are surely one: more accessible\, allowing\, in principle\, a bigger and more diverse audience to participate. But some things remain the same: people differ; some are more outgoing while others prefer remaining in the background. Successful (meeting) facilitation requires acknowledging the diversity of audiences\, but also making sure to activate participants in an inclusive way. \n\n\n\nThe session will revolve around these guiding questions\, based on which a meaningful exchange can be built: \n\n\n\nWhat are your experiences regarding the participation/activation of different types of participants? What are the approaches and ‘tricks’ that have worked well in this regard?In what way has online conferencing affected all this?\n\n\n\nPlease drop a line to programming@humanityhub.net if you want to join! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNote: This event is for Hub members only.
