SUMMARY:peace&justice café: The Future of Democracy (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 23 as we turn our focus to democracy: where it stands\, where it’s going\, and what can be done to preserve it. \n\n\n\nDemocracy sits at a critical juncture. Independent monitors have noted that less than 20 percent of the world’s population now live in a ‘free’ country – the lowest level since 1995. From disinformation and political polarisation\, to rising authoritarianism and the erosion of public faith in institutions\, the current challenges to its resilience are myriad. Nonetheless\, the drive from civil society to protect it remains despite these troubling trends. \n\n\n\nAt this next edition of the peace&justice café\, explore how these changes in the landscape affect the work of the peace and justice ecosystem\, network with organisations playing a role in determining the future of democracy\, and come away with new connections\, insights\, and goals. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to share your experiences or have a suggestion of a great organisation you would like to see at this café\, please contact programming@humanityhub.net This link opens in a new tab.

SUMMARY:(Online) The Political Challenge of Migration: In Conversation with Tineke Strik
DESCRIPTION:In the coming decades\, supporting refugees\, internally displaced people (IDPs) and other migrants will likely demand a growing effort from humanitarian organizations. At the same time\, the topic of migration is increasingly being politicized\, placing humanitarian organizations in the middle of a political battle. This is why KUNO is organizing a series of events discussing current trends in migration and their significance for humanitarian actors. \n\n\n\nThe challenge of migration in European Politics\n\n\n\nWhat is new in the EU pact on migration and asylum? How does the EU deal with state-initiated violence against refugees in member states? What are the implications of bilateral deals with countries like Turkey\, Morocco and Libya? The second event of the series on migration and refugees will cover the topic of challenges that migration brings to the EU and how they are currently addressed. \n\n\n\nThe topic will be introduced by Tineke Strik\, Member of the European Parliament (Groen Links\, Greens) and former professor of migration law\, who will be interviewed by journalist and host Bahram Sadeghi. After the interview\, there will be discussion\, with input from Anila Noor (New Women Connectors)\, Ton Huijzer (Independent consultant)\, and the audience. \n\n\n\nThis is a virtual event that will take place via zoom.
