SUMMARY:Mercy Corps: Centering community voice to drive sustainable change in Syria
DESCRIPTION:One of the most critical topics in the evolving response to the Syrian crisis is how to shift the focus and inputs to those most affected\, build local ownership and accountability\, as well as informing humanitarian needs and processes. The event aims to showcase the work of local organizations collaborating with Mercy Corps in Northwest and Northeast Syria\, as well as the experience of local participants already engaged in community-led approaches. It will feature a panel to share about community-led approaches and how the humanitarian community can ensure programming is led and informed by the needs articulated on the ground. Panelists will share the benefits and best practices of mobilizing communities\, and how existing processes and systems can change to better incorporate community voice. Based on examples such as Mercy Corps ‘Communities Acting Together to Advance Linkages Yielding Social Engagement’ (CATALYSE) approach and successes and lessons learned across North Syria\, discussion will focus on how centering community voices can lead to effective and impactful community and governance systems in Syria. Attendees will be able to hear direct examples from project participants inside Syria. The event will be designed to raise awareness about the approaches and processes for driving community-led change in Syria for a more sustainable response. It will also provide a platform for networking and sharing best practices among professionals and practitioners. The side event will include a 90-minute presentation and panel discussion; and a 60-minute drinks reception. \n\n\n\nThe event will take place at: Atelier 29 – Rue Jacques de Lalaing 29 – 1000 Brussels \n\n\n\n\nMore Information Sign up here

SUMMARY:The Hague Peace & Justice Talent Hub presents- The Handshake with: Kirsten Milden (UNOCHA)
DESCRIPTION:Navigating your career in the world of peace & justice can be tough: with so many potential options\, causes\, and routes into the sector. Sometimes it can even be difficult to think where to begin- do I need to do several internships? Does everyone need to go into ‘programme management’? And why does every UN job require a 24-page application form? \n\n\n\nThat’s why The Hague Peace & Justice Talent Hub is launching ‘The Handshake’: an event series where we invite senior figures from the world of peace & justice to join in conversation and reveal how they’ve ended up where they are! You’ll have the chance to ask questions\, get insights\, and be inspired. The first event will feature Kirsten Mildren from UN OCHA.  \n\n\n\nAbout Kirsten: \n\n\n\nKirsten Mildren is the Chief of Public Advocacy and Campaigns for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA). She leads communication efforts around the world to provide support for the 230 million people who need humanitarian assistance\, mostly through global advocacy campaigns. \n\n\n\nUN OCHA has a unique mandate to speak out on behalf of the people worst affected by humanitarian situations. It’s the humanitarian arm of the UN responsible for coordinating the international humanitarian response to save more lives. \n\n\n\nGrinding conflict\, the deadly climate crisis and health epidemics\, are causing record levels of hunger and displacement\, worsened poverty\, and has put equality for women and girls increasingly out of reach. As a result\, one out of every 23 people now needs humanitarian assistance. \n\n\n\nIt’s her job to keep world attention focused on humanitarian issues. \n\n\n\nKirsten is passionate about storytelling and innovative digital content. Many of her campaigns for World Humanitarian Day have won awards such as Impossible Choices\, The Human Race and Share Humanity – https://about.worldhumanitarianday.org/past-campaigns/ \n\n\n\nKirsten has just celebrated 20 years with OCHA where she has worked in Addis Ababa\, Geneva\, Bangkok and New York and has deployed to dozens of emergencies all over the world including most recently for the Syria and Turkey earthquake. \n\n\n\nBefore joining the UN\, she worked as a television journalist for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation\, which she joined as a cadet after graduating from law and journalism in Australia. \n\n\n\n**Please note that this event is geared towards students and young professionals  \n\n\n\n\nSign up here
