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

This event series aims to inspire young professionals wishing to build a career in the field of peace & justice.  \n\n\n\nThis edition features Simon Tiller. Following a period of university study which took him to seven different countries\, he received four degrees whilst simultaneously witnessing widespread political upheaval in Europe and participating in epoch-defining events. He has experience working in the private sector (15 years)\, has served his country as a diplomat (10 years)\, and has worked for international NGOs (5 years)\, always in the service of making the world a better\, more humane place.

Following his last diplomatic posting in Kyiv\, where Simon participated as an international civil servant in the official peace talks between Russia and Ukraine\, he and his family fled the war – like so many others – before finding himself in The Hague. His current role at The HALO Trust sees him raising funds for humanitarian mine action projects across the conflict-affected regions of the world\, including in the most fragile and conflict-affected states.  \n\n\n\nDon’t miss out on the opportunity to ask him questions and learn from the wealth of knowledge he has gained from his experiences!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE This link opens in a new tab
