SUMMARY:Presenting the new IASC Operational Guidance on Data Responsibility in Humanitarian Action
DESCRIPTION:Data responsibility in humanitarian action is the safe\, ethical and effective management of personal and non-personal data for operational response. It is a critical issue for the humanitarian system to address and the stakes are high. In February 2021\, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) published new Operational Guidance on Data Responsibility in Humanitarian Action This link opens in a new tab. The Operational Guidance\, which is a first\, will ensure concrete steps for data responsibility in all phases of humanitarian action. It is intended to help humanitarian staff\, organizations\, and their partners practice data responsibility in different response contexts. It is the result of an inclusive and consultative process involving more than 250 stakeholders from the humanitarian sector and co-led by the International Organization for Migration (IOM)\, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)\, and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Centre for Humanitarian Data. \n\n\n\nIn this Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) briefing session\, representatives from the Danish Refugee Council\, IOM\, OCHA\, and UNHCR will present the Operational Guidance and share examples of how it is already being adopted in different response contexts. The goal of the session is to raise awareness of the Operational Guidance and offer concrete recommendations for its use by a wide range of actors to advance data responsibility. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:[Online Workshop] Movies that Matter & the Asser Institute present: the Global Justice Cinema Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Documentary film is a very powerful medium in the field of global justice. It can document human rights violations\, uncover abuses of power\, communicate a strong message of solidarity and call for action. Documentary filmmaking\, however\, is never just a ‘neutral’ registration of reality. \n\n\n\nThe Global Justice Cinema workshop challenges participant to critically watch\, assess and discuss what these films communicate and how this is achieved. You will do this in a truly unique setting. For this workshop\, the Asser Institute and VU Amsterdam annually join forces with human rights film festival Movies that Matter. \n\n\n\nThe workshop offers the best of both worlds: you will get great lectures in film and international justice by professors at the Asser Institute and VU. And you get to see the latest international rights films\, plus the chance to meet filmmakers and activists at the online Movies that Matter Festival. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is connected to the Camera Justitia programme on law and justice at the Movies that Matter Festival. \n\n\n\nThe entire program (including film screenings) takes place online.   \n\n\n\nFor whom?\n\n\n\nNo specific background in film and/or international justice is required. We welcome professionals and students in the areas of e.g. film\, international law\, human rights\, communication\, media\, art\, and international politics. \n\n\n\nIn the workshop\, we will watch and discuss two remarkable films from the Camera Justitia selection: \n\n\n\nColombia in My Arms This link opens in a new tab (Jenni Kivisto\, Jussi Rastas) is a visually strong documentary about Colombia after the peace agreement between the government and the FARC guerrillas. Will the fragile peace deal survive the distrust and rancour built up by decades of war? Colombia in My Arms tells the story from different perspectives: guerrillas in the woods\, preparing to hand in their weapons and trying to accept that their fight will be a political one from now on\, the ‘old money’ elites\, who shudder at the thought of FARC gaining power\, the political establishment\, cynically exploiting tensions in society for their own political gain. And finally\, the workers on the cocoa fields who sum up the situation: ‘The chaos starts at the top\, not at the bottom’.  \n\n\n\nPresident This link opens in a new tab (Camilla Nielsson) is a riveting account of the Zimbabwean 2018 presidential elections from inside the campaign of opposition candidate Nelson Chamisa – and its unbelievable aftermath. Zimbabwe is at a crossroads when charismatic Chamisa challenges ruling party ZANU-PF. But will the elections be fair? When the ballots are cast on election night\, it turns out the real battle has just begun. A fly-on-the-wall account of Chamisa’s campaign\, combined with hair-raising battleground reporting and a legal thriller about the fight for the soul of democracy. \n\n\n\nTentative programme\n\n\n\n22 April\, Thursday (CET)09:45 – Welcome and Introductions10:15 – Lecture Conceptions of justice in documentary film – Prof. Wouter Werner11:00 – Break11:15 – Lecture Thinking visually about International Politics – Dr Francesco Ragazzi12:15 – Lunch break13:15 – Screening film Colombia in my Arms (Jenni Kivisto and Jussi Rastas)14:45 – Discussion of the film with makers/experts16:00 – Camera Justitia Masterclass (speaker tba)Optional evening programme Movies that Matter festival23 April\, Friday (CET)09:00 – Welcome day 209:15 – Lecture Storytelling through editing – Dr Sofia Stolk10:00 – Break10:15 – Screening President (Camilla Nielsson)12:15 – Q&A with filmmaker/expert13:15 – Lunch break14:15 – Lecture on impact and outreach by Movies that Matter15:15 – Discussion session16:00 – Evaluation16:30 – Online farewell drinksOptional evening programme Movies that Matter festival \n\n\n\nAfter the successful completion of this workshop\, you will receive a professional certificate from the T.M.C.

SUMMARY:Building a Transatlantic Coalition for Climate Action on Water and Security Challenges in Hotspot Countries of Risk
DESCRIPTION:The “Water\, Peace and Security partnership”\, in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, organizes the 11th meeting of the series “The Hague Roundtable on Climate and Security”. \n\n\n\n“Earth Day 2021”\, on Thursday April 22\, represents an opportunity to challenge world leaders to act more decisively on climate change for what it truly is: a pressing global security threat to everyone\, particularly the most vulnerable people and places. Increased cooperation is especially urgent in hotspot regions where water scarcity and climate impacts risk destabilizing communities or entire countries. Climate security issues play out through the water cycle\, as water access and quality are further deteriorating in many of these areas. \n\n\n\nThe panelists and participants of this meeting will assess the political momentum and opportunity of forming a transatlantic coalition focused on addressing the security dimension in the climate adaptation action agenda\, specifically on the impacts of water-intensive projects in regions of risk – with an examination of the potential geopolitical impacts and priorities of the new U.S. Government Administration and the EU. \n\n\n\nKeynote speaker\n\n\n\nCarola van Rijnsoever\, Director\, Inclusive Green Growth\, Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\nHenk Ovink\, Netherlands Special Envoy for International Water Affairs\n\n\n\nPanelists\n\n\n\nBenedetta Berti\, Head of Policy Planning\, NATO Office of the Secretary GeneralSharon Burke\, Senior Advisor\, International Security Program\, New AmericaTom Middendorp\, Chair\, International Military Council on Climate and SecurityHinrich Thoelken\, Climate Envoy\, Germany Federal Foreign Office (tbc)\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:The Essence and Effects  of Ethical Communication and Fundraising
DESCRIPTION:Value-driven Engagement and Fundraising\n\n\n\nOn Friday April 23rd\, from 10.00-11.30 a.m.\, the Expertise Centre Humanitarian Communication (HuCom) and Fundraising & Strategy International (efesai) will share their academic and practical knowledge. They will talk you through the most recent studies and insights and tell you about: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe importance of ethical humanitarian communication – Wouter Oomen (PhD candidate at Utrecht University and co-director of HuCom)\n\n\n\n\n\nStorytelling for Social Change & Prosocial Crowdfunding –  Asma Naimi (PhD candidate at Esade Institute for Social Innovation & Senior Associate of efesai)\n\n\n\n\nFor many NGOs and other social organizations\, fundraising is tantamount to raising as much money as possible and connecting as many donors as possible. But what is the impact of this on the mission of the organization? And what is the effect of the role assigned to the donor\, the target group and\, ultimately\, the objective in communication and fundraising? \n\n\n\nIf we would include the objectives of the organization for fundraising and communication\, this could lead to change being desirable. However\, it is often mistakenly thought that this can jeopardize the results. \n\n\n\nDuring this one and a half hour seminar we will discuss the importance\, effects and possibilities of ethical communication and impact-oriented fundraising. We also provide insight into what it takes to scrutinize the communication of your organization and to provide your organization with a healthy impact-oriented fundraising mix. \n\n\n\nSo:  \n\n\n\n\nAs Head of Fundraising\, Communication and/or Marketing\, are you curious about how you can contribute to the impact of your organization in addition to generating income or creating supporters? Do you know that the work of your department is about so much more than money and numbers? \n\n\n\nAre you in the board and management of a mission-driven organization and do you want to know what it takes to grow your organization towards greater impact\, but are you also responsible for a healthy “company”? \n\n\n\nAre you curious about what it means to also focus your fundraising and communication on the broader impact of your mission-driven organization?  \n\n\n\n\nPractical information \n\n\n\nFormat: online knowledge seminar  \n\n\n\nDate: April 23\, 2021  \n\n\n\nTime: 10.00 am – 11.30 am  \n\n\n\nParticipation: free of charge  \n\n\n\nThis seminar marks the start of a collaboration between Fundraising & Strategy International (efesai) and the Expertise Centre Humanitarian Communication (HuCom)\, two organizations that focus on the importance of (change in) communication and fundraising among NGOs and other civil society organizations. The seminar also marks the launch of HuCom\, which has recently been given a new board and management.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:“How a better world is possible”: Cooperation between Science and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Leiden University’s Institute for Security and Global Affairs and Dual PhD Centre jointly organize an online lecture by Cleveringa ProfessorGeneral Roméo Dallaire on “How a better world is possible”: Cooperation between Science and Practice. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, General Dallaire will reflect on the complexities of international governance and leadership on ‘wicked problems’ in the human security realm and share his personal lessons from his career and provide recommendations for different generations of scholars and practitioners\, from students to active policy makers. General Dallaire will emphasize the importance of lifelong learning and cross-fertilization of real-life experience and academic knowledge. The presentation is meant for students\, and practitioners and policy makers\, especially those being actively involved in academic (doctoral) research. \n\n\n\nOn Roméo Dallaire\n\n\n\nGeneral Roméo Dallaire is founder of the Dallaire Institute for Children\, Peace\, and Security\, a global partnership with the mission to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers.A celebrated advocate for human rights\, General Dallaire is also a respected author\, government and UN advisor\, and former Canadian Senator. Throughout his distinguished military career\, General Dallaire served most notably as Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda during the 1994 genocide. He continues to bring international attention to situations too-often ignored\, whether the prevention of mass atrocities\, the struggle that he and many other military veterans face with post-traumatic stress disorder\, or the recruitment and use of children as weapons of war.  \n\n\n\nOn ISGA and the FGGA Honours Class\n\n\n\nThe Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) focuses on multidisciplinary research and education within the international scientific field of security studies. The Institute analyses and studies issues in a coherent way from their local transnational\, and global impact.
