SUMMARY:DCHI Academy on Humanitarian Thought Leadership with RSM
DESCRIPTION:This edition of the DCHI Academy on Thought Leadership is powered by RSM and featuring highlights of the DCHI Humanitarian Innovation Course. \n\n\n\nWhat role does knowledge management play in the design of your partnerships? How do you develop a commercial perspective on your humanitarian aid or development project? Will it help you? And where should you start?   \n\n\n\nHumanitarian organisations and businesses differ significantly. Running a food bank is not the same as running a supermarket\, and an organisation delivering relief items after a disaster can’t be compared to PostNL delivering packages. Although collaborating with the private-sector is strongly encouraged when it comes to innovation\, the differences in objectives and cultures often act as obstacles that can be off-putting\, and seem risky.  \n\n\n\nThis DCHI academy aims to open up the conversation from all sectors\, and explore how we can start sharing insights and knowledge with each other. We will explore some of the fundamental differences between the NGO\, NPO and commercial sectors\, but more importantly how we can exchange knowlegde and how do Academics and Universities enable us learn from each other.  \n\n\n\nYou can join our free learning event on 1 June from 14:30 until 16:30 hr. (CEST). Tune in at this edition of the DCHI Academy with humanitarian managers\, business leaders\, philanthropes\, innovators and academics. The programme has speakers on Strategy\, Partnership Management\, Non-Profit Management\, and Humanitarian Logistics. The event also features an exercise from our latest DCHI Innovation Course\, facilitated by alumni\, that will help you elevate your future approach to cross-sector partnerships.  \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAMME & REGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Bring Human Rights Home: Conversations on Human Rights and Why they Matter
DESCRIPTION:“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”\n\n\n\nThis basic principle forms the foundation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights This link opens in a new tab – a globally recognized affirmation that all rights apply to everyone everywhere. No matter who you are\, where you live\, or what you do\, everyone has the same rights.But our ability to enjoy these fundamental freedoms remains fragile – because “human rights” seem like an abstract concept with little connection to our daily lives\, or because claiming them may even be dangerous. In order to go back to the core and talk about what human rights mean for us all\, we need to bring human rights home.Through the #BringHumanRightsHome campaign\, the Netherlands Helsinki Committee\, in partnership with human rights organisations from across Europe\, is sharing the personal stories of courageous people from eight different countries whose rights were severely violated. Hailing from Azerbaijan\, Hungary\, Kazakhstan\, Poland\, Russia\, Turkey\, Ukraine\, and the Netherlands\, they overcame opposition in court\, personal threats\, and financial hardship; stood up to actors much more powerful than themselves – yet never gave up. With the support of friends\, family\, and communities\, they reclaimed their rights – for themselves\, and ultimately\, for us all. Their stories stand as a powerful reminder that we can all stand up for human rights.  As part of our campaign\, the Netherlands Helsinki Committee invites you to join in the conversation on human rights and why they matter at our international online event on 1 June. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nModerator: Jelle Brandt Corstius\, Dutch journalist and former Russia foreign correspondent \n\n\n\nWord of welcome by Pepijn Gerrits\, Executive Director of the Netherlands Helsinki Committee \n\n\n\nKey note speech by Caroline de Gruyter\, journalist and expert on European politics and history: How did human rights evolve in Europe’s recent history? \n\n\n\nThe campaign: Stories from the Netherlands \, Hungary and Ukraine \n\n\n\nKirsten Meersschaert\, Netherlands Helsinki Committee \n\n\n\nAnikó Bakonyi\, Hungarian Helsinki Committee \n\n\n\nTetiana Pechonchyk\, Human Rights Centre ZMINA \n\n\n\nYou can also show your support for human rights and by joining and sharing the #BringHumanRightsHome campaign! This link opens in a new tabAbout the NHCOur mission is to build and secure justice and compliance with international human rights agreements among OSCE participating states. Established in 1987\, we represented Dutch civil society in the Helsinki Movement. For over 30 years\, we have helped build bridges between public institutions\, international organisations\, practitioners\, and civil society. We look at the big picture\, taking a holistic approach in strengthening the rule of law\, safe-guarding human rights\, and building the capacity of civil society. We do so through our four programmes: Access to Justice\, Criminal Justice Reform\, Human Rights Defence and Integrity & Accountability.For more information please contact Marcela Rilovic\, Communications Manager at the NHC (mrilovic@nhc.nl This link opens in a new tab). \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Cooperative Urban Futures 2: Placemaking for sustainable transition at the street-level
DESCRIPTION:Do you think more emphasis should be put on creating streets for people and not cars?Are you wondering how experimental placemaking initiatives can become permanent? \n\n\n\nJoin in on 1 June at 17.00 – 18.30 CEST to discuss how tactical urbanism\, notably street-level experiments and placemaking\, can lead to systemic sustainable transition at the city-level. With COVID-19 serving as both an accelerator and a barrier to placemaking and conviviality\, we will examine some of the positive and negative aspects of the pandemic when it comes to street-level change. Experts from the field will come together to discuss the enablers and barriers to sustainable street transformation and look at how such initiatives can be upscaled.  \n\n\n\nGuests\n\n\n\nLuca Bertolini\, Professor at the University of AmsterdamAnna Bradley\, Researcher & Project Manager at STIPO and Placemaking EuropeJulia Jarass\, Researcher at the German Institute for Transport ResearchLior Steinberg\, Founder of HumankindRoland Krebs\, SuperwienModerators: Bahanur Nasya\, Eutropian & Livia del Conte\, EUKN\n\n\n\n\nWATCH HERE

SUMMARY:The decolonization of aid #2: a conversation from a development cooperation perspective
DESCRIPTION:In a series of dialogues\, this conversation will be the second.  \n\n\n\nThe 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\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nTulika Srivastava\, Director Women’s Fund AsiaLydia Zigomo\, Global Programmes Director at Oxfam International.\n\n\n\nAll dialogues in this series will be moderated by: \n\n\n\nKiza Magendane\, The Broker\, knowledge broker\, essayist and writer\, andThea Hilhorst\, professor Humanitarian Aid at the International Institute of Social Studies\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
