SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night - War on Education
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next edition of Just Peace This link opens in a new tab Movie Nights! For this edition we will be partnering with Euroclio This link opens in a new tab (European Association of History Educators) to screen the film “War on Education This link opens in a new tab.” We will delve into the impact war (particularly in the Ukraine) has on history education and consequently the accessibility of good and nuanced education. \n\n\n\nAbout “War on Education” \n\n\n\nThe showing of the documentary ‘War on Education’ falls under the larger campaign to raise awareness and reflect on the impact of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. \n\n\n\nThe makers highlight that\, “While the media often highlights the visible – Russian attacks on Ukrainian cites and the news from the frontline\, one critical aspect remains largely overlooked: the impact of war on education.” Creator Stefano di Pietro\, “was inspired to make “War on Education” after having made “Books not Bombs”\, a short film created in 2022\, aimed to gather the funds needed to print the schoolbook “Ukraine and the World”\, when the printing budgets of Ukraine were directed to the war effort.” \n\n\n\nThe documentary features the authors of the textbooks Ukraine and the World\, Iryna Kostyuk and Maryna Kaftan\, who organised interviews\, connected to policy makers\, and helped “find and clear archival footage.” Stefano Di Pietro emphasises that “Talking with many amazing Ukrainians during wartime\, I realised there was a much bigger story to tell\, one that connects to universal and timeless values that I deeply care about\, and I always try to communicate in my films.” \n\n\n\nMoreover\, the documentary features insightful interviews with prominent figures from international NGOs\, governmental bodies\, journalists\, and educators\, “War on Education” deeply covers this issue. The Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine\, as well as Emmanuelle Abrioux\, Chief of Education at UNICEF Ukraine\, and other notable characters in this field\, share their invaluable perspectives as well as possible solutions for the problem. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nDoors open at 17:30. Drinks will be available to purchase at the café. The film screening will start at 18:00. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. After the formal programming we warmly invite attendees to stay for some casual networking and drinks. \n\n\n\nJust Peace Movie Nights are film screenings and discussions on important and current issues in the world of peace and justice. \n\n\n\nOn our panel we will be joined by the film creator Stefano di Pietro and Euroclio Director Steven Stegers. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, we will be joined by the wonderful staff and participants of the Move4HumanRights This link opens in a new tab Summerschool. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP HERE

SUMMARY:NGO DEI: 90 Days of you\, Gwyneth Ho Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition:\n\n\n\n90 Days of You\, Gwyneth Ho\, is a profound tribute to friendship\, resilience\, and the pursuit of freedom. The exhibition\, featuring 90 artworks by artist saar_voirvivre\, is a dedication to Gwyneth Ho – A Hong Kong social activist and former reporter who was convicted of subversion recently after a long detention period in Hong Kong of over thousand days. She worked for several news outlets\, including BBC China\, and is an alumna of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). \n\n\n\nsaar_voirvivre and Gwyneth Ho formed a deep bond during their time as classmates and roommates at the University of Amsterdam in 2018. After Gwyneth Ho returned to Hong Kong to participate in the legislative council primaries\, she was charged under the Hong Kong national security law and detained. During this period\, saar_voirvivre used her paintings to narrate their friendship and pay tribute to the relentless spirit of those fighting for Hong Kong’s democracy. The 90 paintings refer to the initially set 90-day case that tragically extended to over a thousand days of detention for Gwyneth.  \n\n\n\nThe color blue dominates the exhibition\, symbolizing Gwyneth’s name (藍)\, integrity\, resilience\, purpose and spirit. This color symbolizes for saar_voirvivre the many different emotions which go together with the story of their friendship. Blue symbolizes beauty\, melancholy and the sparks of hope and joy. It is a color with incredible depth and a perfect fit for this story.  \n\n\n\nOpening Day \n\n\n\nDate: Saturday\, July 27\, 2024 \n\n\n\nProgram: \n\n\n\n1. Opening speech: 1:30 PM \n\n\n\n2. Sharing session: 2:00 PM – 2:30 PM \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nsaar_voirvivre – Artist \n\n\n\nLoretta Lau – Director of NGO DEI\n\n\n\nJoyce Man – China Expert at Amnesty Netherlands \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE This link opens in a new tab
