SUMMARY:Food Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:This year the Partos Innovation Festival will be organised online based on a new format. Part of this inspiring two-day event will be the presentations of the outcomes of the Food Hackathon. However\, before it comes to that the Food Hackathon itself will take place on October 6!\nDue to the Covid-19 crisis\, among other causes\, Africa is facing an – even more substantial than before – food shortage. Many (international) NGOs are working on food-related solutions but are facing challenges with the coordination of activities. It’s time to join forces with these NGOs. We can all see the necessity to work from the bottom-up and with locally-led initiatives. Therefore\, we consult locally-led civil society organisations to join and support this Food Hackathon. They will inform us of their visions on the causes of the food shortage\, the possibilities for improving the situation and the opportunities for joining forces with western NGOs. \nThis Food Hackathon has a focus on ‘System Thinking’ – understanding the causes of hunger as a system with different elements. Changing one factor affects another aspect and can involve a change in the (food)system. Once you understand the most influencing causes and which wheels to turn\, you can strive to tackle hunger challenges in new and more effective\, inclusive and locally-led ways. \nThe final goal of the Food Hackathon is the creation of a (prototype) tool which provides an inclusive and locally-led way of working. To do so\, we need to find out how Dutch Development organisations (the Partos Members organisations) can work together more effectively while using digital tooling. The organisations will discover the possibilities to join forces and learn from each other’s activities. Do you want to join the Food Hackathon and help find answers to locally-led challenges? Subscribe below and have an impact! \nTimeline of the process; \n\nThe Spindle consults with locally-led organisations\, who will describe the main causes of the food shortages in their country and therewith the needs for them to tackle these causes.\nWe call for Partos Member organisations that work on Food Security to puzzle how they could respond to these needs.\nIn reaction to these processes\, the participants of the Hackathon\, the so-called Hackers\, will be mobilized to support the preparation of the Food Hackathon itself.\nOn the day of the Food Hackathon\, all needs and organisations will come together to join forces.\n\nFor any questions\, you can reach out to Margreet van der Pijl (margreet@partos.nl). \nPractical information:\nWhen: October 6\nWhere: Online via ZOOM\nTime: to be confirmed\nWho: NGOs working on/with food

SUMMARY:Open House with Haagse Helpers
DESCRIPTION:Take a deep dive into the Peace and Justice community of the Hague!  \n\n\n\nThe spotlight is on Haagse Helpers at this next edition of the Humanity Hub Open House during the Just Peace Month. Join us virtually to learn more about their work in local youth empowerment.  \n\n\n\nThe Hague is the international city of Peace and Justice.

Based on this conviction\, it inspires and activates young people between the ages of 15 and 35 in doing social actions. Network Haagse Helpers thinks it is important to pay attention\, besides the concrete mediation\, to increase awareness and willingness of young people to serve the city.  \n\n\n\nThis event is now fully virtual!

SUMMARY:Migration Deals and Their Damaging Effects
DESCRIPTION:Covid-19 update\nDue to the coronavirus outbreak\, the format of this conference might be subject to change. While we strive to welcome you on our premises in The Hague\, we might be forced to move the event to an online platform. Should this happen\, registered participants will receive notice one month before the start of the conference. \nOn 09 October 2020\, the Amsterdam Centre for European Studies (ACES) and the T.M.C. Asser Instituut will co-organise an interdisciplinary conference on the implications of the increasing use of informal (non-binding) instruments in the field of migration. The conference will examine issues raised by the prevalent use of migration deals and informal arrangements between the EU and third countries in an effort to manage migration flows. \nIn the last few years\, informal instruments have been replacing binding international agreements in the field of EU asylum and migration policy. Examples are the EU-Turkey deal and the Joint Way Forward with Afghanistan (an informal readmission agreement). \nThough the use of informal instruments is nothing new in EU external relations\, the increasing recourse to such instruments recently is of grave concern for multiple reasons\, think Asser researchers and project leaders Dr Narin Idriz and Dr Eva Kassoti. \nBig consequence\nIdriz: “One of the biggest consequences\, for instance\, is that the non-binding nature of these instruments makes it almost impossible for individuals to challenge them in courts. This makes it very hard to enforce any rights they might have under international or European law.” \nAccording to Idriz\, the NF\, NG\, and NM cases brought in front of the General Court\, and subsequently appealed to the European Court of Justice are a case in point. The cases were dismissed as the Court established it was the Member States and not the EU that were behind the deal. \nInformal instruments like the EU-Turkey deal or the Joint Way Forward are also problematic from a constitutional perspective\, believes Eva Kassoti. “The choice to act outside EU Treaties and to ignore the prescribed procedure for concluding international agreements results in less transparency\, democratic scrutiny\, accountability and legitimacy.” \nOn the conference\nThe conference will examine the issues raised by this process of informalisation in five thematic panels: ‘constitutional implications’\, ‘fundamental rights’\, ‘implications for the functioning and integrity of the Common European Asylum System’\, ‘impact on 3rd countries’\, and ‘global implications’. You can download the full programme here. \nThis conference is part of the Global Europe project that focuses on ‘Europe as a global player in the new strategic context’. ‘Global Europe’ is a project within the strand Advancing Public Interests in International and European law. \nFurther reading:\n– Maarten den Heijer and Thomas Spijkerboer\, “Is the EU-Turkey Refugee and Migration Deal a Treaty?”\, EU Law Analysis\, 7 April 2016\n– Meijers Committee\, 1806 Note on the use of soft law instruments under EU law\, in particular in the area of freedom\, security and justice\, and its impact on fundamental rights\, democracy and the rule of law\, 9 April 2018\n– Narin Idriz\, “Taking the EU-Turkey Deal to Court?”\, Verfassungsblog\, 20 December 2017\n– Narin Idriz\, “The EU-Turkey Statement or the ‘Refugee Deal’: The Extra-Legal Deal of Extraordinary Times?”\, T.M.C.

Organised in collaboration with the ACES.
