SUMMARY:Communication Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Communications Coffee \n\n\n\nConnect with and learn from your peers who are working on communication activities in the Humanity Hub Community. Join our regular video meetings as we delve into focused topics\, share our expertise\, and learn together monthly. \n\n\n\nBackground: \n\n\n\nAt the Humanity Hub\, we strive to provide an environment to help facilitate interaction and exchange of knowledge amongst the diverse actors in our community. We\, therefore\, want to support the emergence of peer groups to connect with other professionals on given themes or activities. \n\n\n\nAs a result of the COVID-19 pandemic\, all of our work has been affected in some way or another. Among these\, communication activities had to shift significantly to accommodate the ‘new normal’. Community members working on comms have suggested the importance of sharing their experiences and learning from others to address the challenges that have arisen in the last year. \n\n\n\nFormat: \n\n\n\nThe Communication Coffee will take place on a monthly basis and each session will be hosted by a different member. 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.
