SUMMARY:Using the Sphere Standards in Urban Settings
DESCRIPTION:Applying humanitarian standards in urban settings has been a challenge for a long time. The recent blast in the harbor of Beirut is yet another example. The urban context has consequences for the disaster management: communities are fluid and complex\, with perhaps hidden groups (refugees\, IDPs)\, great socio-economic differences and probably a big amount of first responders\, self-organization and self-recovery. \n\n\n\nTrainer: Aninia Nadig\, Policy and Practice Manager of Sphere. \n\n\n\nStarting point for this training will be the recently updated guide ‘Using the Sphere Standards in Urban Settings’\, which can be found here. \n\n\n\nPrimary target groups for the training are  professionals working in needs assessment\, programme design and management of humanitarian response (head quarters and country offices). The training may also be useful for a wider range of staff\, including government officials and humanitarian personnel who find themselves confronted for the first time with a humanitarian crisis in urban areas. \n\n\n\nLearning goals of the training: \n\n\n\nAn introduction in the specific context of urban disaster repossessHow to apply the Sphere Standard in urban contextsPreparedness: how can you prepare as an INGO to meet CHS and Sphere standards in urban disaster responses.\n\n\n\nThis training is a pilot offered to the constituency of KUNO. \n\n\n\nPrior registration is required. To apply\, send an e-mail to: kuno@kuno-platform.nl \n\n\n\n\nREAD MORE

SUMMARY:Transformative Methodologies workshop
DESCRIPTION:This online workshop will go beyond the simplistic view of research objectives alone bringing about social transformation\, and engage with the research process itself. \n\n\n\nOn transformative methodologies\n\n\n\nTransformative methodologies go beyond the simplistic view of research objectives alone bringing about social transformation\, and engage with the research process itself. Transformative methodologies are inherently reflexive and critical\, and sharply focused on the power relations in the research process. \n\n\n\nIt focuses on answering several critical questions\, including:  \n\n\n\nWho wants transformative changes?Who brings about these changes?What are the intersectional implications of these changes? \n\n\n\nWhy this workshop?\n\n\n\nWith a conversation on transformative methodologies we seek to address these problematic assumptions and practices.  \n\n\n\nA critical and forward-looking synthesis of existing transformative research methodologies can serve as a key step in the development of methodologies and practices towards a more systematic\, ISS-wide approach to research for social transformation. \n\n\n\nWorkshop details\n\n\n\nWe will gather on 11 May 2021 to synthesize and share our experiences and thoughts on transformative research methodologies. The key objective is to engage in a critical dialogue by discussing ways to further our application of transformative methodologies. \n\n\n\nFormat\n\n\n\n2 sessions (morning and afternoon) \n\n\n\nMorning session (10:00-12:00): Sharing and discovering how ISS researchers have applied transformative methodologies \n\n\n\nAfternoon session (14:00-16:00): Discussing ethical and other concerns\, and future applications \n\n\n\nGet involved\n\n\n\nWe want to learn from you and enable you to inspire others\, so we invite you to share your work or ideas. Think with us about creative ways to showcase your work or ideas in our virtual gallery\, e.g.\, in a short videoclip\, images\, art or recorded interviews. People from all over will be able to access and engage with your presentation. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Communication Coffee P2P: Shifting Perspectives - a Masterclass in storytelling for development
DESCRIPTION:Stories have the potential to be extremely effective. They have the power to alter how we perceive our surroundings\, interact with one another\, and persuade us. The viewer is able to shift perspectives and challenge their own way of thinking by identifying with the characters. Because of this ability to empathize with story characters\, story is one of the most powerful ways to change belief and behavior. When it comes to changing people’s minds about contentious political or social issues\, stories have been shown to be the most effective.This session will explore how you can tell better stories to reach your audience and shift them through emotion. \n\n\n\nThe Media Development Collective is devoted to the transformative power of stories. We recognize (digital) media’s potential as a new frontier for knowledge transfer and attitude shaping. We believe in the power of collectives; “people working together to effect change.” The Media Development Collective is a new\, collaborative consultancy and training organization focused on the media\, civil society\, and for-good sectors. We have years of hands-on experience in the media and international development sectors\, and we have worked in over 30 countries around the world. We provide media training\, coaching\, and assistance with the implementation of media campaigns and programs. Professionals and subject matter experts in our network\, as well as those who have taken part in our organizational trainings and collaborative programs\, are part of our “collective.” We work in the traditional media development space as well as the media for development space. We foster good journalism and assist those who fill journalism’s gaps in contexts where it is restricted. We create interactive trainings and work with partners to build behavior change campaigns. Our “media for” approach aims to mobilize civil society by training them in strategic communications – which help amplify their messages by using the right message\, in the right channel\, at the right time. \n\n\n\nSession Leads\n\n\n\nJanet H. Anderson works a journalist and podcaster on a wide range of human rights issues. She also trains NGOs and campaigners in engagement and persuasive storytelling for impact. For the past 5 years Janet has lead innovative Social Change Campaigning courses globally. Trained by the BBC\, she has worked for a wide range of media development NGOs\, broadcasters and content producers across Europe and Africa.  \n\n\n\nBrandon Oelofse is the founder of Media Development Collective\, a training\, and consultancy company focused on strategic communications for the civil society sector. He’s an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker and his work has been represented at numerous festivals\, including the Cannes festival and the Oscar. With MDC he has been leading training on engagement from civil society to provide an alternative\, counter-narrative communication training which particular emphasis on digital (de)radicalization\, Islamic and far-right extremism in the Middle East and Eastern and Central Europe.  \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to participate\, please email programming@humanityhub.net.  \n\n\n\nNote: This event is for Hub members only.

SUMMARY:SDG Theme Shaper Meeting

In moving towards our vision to facilitate connections and support a diverse ecosystem of organisations working on so many different facets of peace and justice\, some recurrent challenges are met. How can we align such diverse work into shared themes? How do we best position the Humanity Hub to help our community work on their goals\, while connecting to others throughout The Hague and beyond who share this vision and purpose? \n\n\n\nDue to its urgency\, the Humanity Hub’s first seasonal programming theme revolved around insights on COVID-19 responses\, with the next theme being the SDGs.

SUMMARY:The decolonization of aid #1: a conversation from a historical perspective
DESCRIPTION:The series \n\n\n\nWith the  #BLM debates\, and other anti-racism protests\, the discussion about the decolonization of aid got an impulse. Blogs\, panel discussions (sometimes very heated) and Tweets stumbled over one another. We witnessed many statements and opinions\, but perhaps not so much common ground to proceed from. \n\n\n\nKUNO\, Partos\, and The Institute of Social Studies (ISS) we take one step back and approach the discussion in a series of talks. Step by step\, we highlight an aspect of this debate. We ask two experts to engage in a conversation with one another to explore the controversies and perhaps find some common grounds. \n\n\n\nRegister for the 1st conversation on May 12\n\n\n\nPrior registration to the session is required: for the first session ‘a conversation from a historical perspective’ onWednesday 12 May 16:00 – 17:30 CET you can register here. \n\n\n\nIn the series of dialogies we address the following perspectives: \n\n\n\nThe conversations will be ZOOM-webinars. Participants to the webinar can participate via the chat and Q&A box. In the second half of the conversation\, a selection of the comments and questions will be discussed by the speakers. \n\n\n\nA historical perspectiveA development aid perspectiveA humanitarian aid perspectiveThe role of the donorA social perspectiveThe Netherlands and the decolonization of aid\n\n\n\nSpeakers that confirmed to contribute to our dialogues are: \n\n\n\nDr. Arua Oko Omaka\, Fellow at the Alex Ekwueme Federal University\, Nigeria.Prof. Bertrand Taithe\, professor History of Humanitarian Aid Manchester University.Lydia Zigomo\, Global Programmes Director at Oxfam International.Tammam Aloudat\, Senior Strategic Advisor\, MSF Access Campaign.Nanet Antequisa\, director ECOWEB and active member of A4EP.Arbie Baguios\, founder of Aid Re-Imagined.Prof. Halleh Ghorashi\, prof.

SUMMARY:Deadly voyages: Migrant journey across the globe
DESCRIPTION:New publication edited by Veronica Fynn Bruey and Steven Bender exploring the burdens and impact of perilous migration. \n\n\n\nDuring this Development Research Seminar\, Veronica Fynn Bruey will launch her new book. The contributions consider which laws\, policies\, practices and venues might establish empathy and protection for migrants. \n\n\n\nDr Veronica Fynn BrueyBiographyVeronica Fynn Bruey is the Director of Flowers School of Global Health Science and a research affiliate with the University of London’s Refugee Law Initiative.This interdisciplinary volume envisions and calls for a transformation in migration policy\, motivated by the common goal of drastically reducing the peril migrants face when compelled to make their treacherous journeys.  \n\n\n\nInform\, educate\, persuade\, and facilitate newer or less-heard perspectives on migration \n\n\n\nAll contributors to this volume agree on the inadequacy of current approaches and the dire need for change in global migration law and policy. Therefore\, the book seeks to inform\, educate\, persuade\, and facilitate newer or less-heard perspectives\, toward wider participation and influence within the forced migration policy debate.  \n\n\n\nGuided by the famous advice of Karl Marx that the point should be changing the world rather than merely analyzing or interpreting it\, the contributors suggest practical measures to fix the current gap in responses to migrant peril\, along with strategies for diagnosing\, countering\, and promoting human dignity and social justice\, with the aim of preventing future deaths and injuries in migrant journeys across the globe.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
