SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night: For Sama
DESCRIPTION:For Human Rights Day\, in collaboration with KUNO\, we are presenting the critically acclaimed film For Sama. This event is part of the Just Peace Movie Nights series\, a program that uses film and storytelling to bring important issues around peace and justice to the attention of a wide audience. After the film screening\, we will engage in a discussion with experts on topics such as the context of the Syrian conflict during the shooting of the film\, the current humanitarian and refugee crisis in Syria\, and the political situation in the Netherlands\, including cabinet plans to declare parts of Syria safe and return Syrian asylum seekers. \n\n\n\nAbout For Sama \n\n\n\nFor Sama is both an intimate and epic journey into the female experience of war. A love letter from a young mother to her daughter\, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life during five years of the uprising in Aleppo\, Syria. She falls in love\, marries and gives birth to Sama\, all while catastrophic conflict erupts around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss\, laughter and survival as Waad struggles with an impossible choice – whether to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life\, while leaving means giving up the fight for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much. \n\n\n\nSpeakers to be announced soon. \n\n\n\nProgram \n\n\n\nDoors open at 19:00\, and refreshments will be available in the café.

SUMMARY:Unlocking Climate Finance: the Role of Civil Society in promoting Accountability and Accessibility on a National Level
DESCRIPTION:Climate finance plays a crucial role in addressing climate change\, but ensuring that these financial resources are used effectively\, transparently\, and equitably is a complex challenge. It is therefore essential to track climate finance on a national level and hold governments accountable for its spending. At the national level\, civil society organizations in the Global South are uniquely positioned to monitor climate finance flows\, advocate for accountability\, and push for equitable access to funding for those who are most affected by climate change.   \n\n\n\nIn this upcoming learning session\, Partos will explore the role of civil society in the Global South in tracking climate finance flows and holding their governments accountable. They will discuss questions like:   \n\n\n\n\nHow can we support civil society in holding governments accountable for just climate finance on a national level?  \n\n\n\nHow can we strengthen civil society to promote equitable access to climate finance? \n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect  \n\n\n\nWe will learn about the key takeaways of a study done by Oxfam Novib on climate finance accountability in Uganda\, Nigeria and Vietnam. Subsequently\, we will dive into the experiences of the Voices of Just Climate Action program in promoting access to climate finance and strengthening civil society. We will also reflect on the outcomes of the COP 29 and what they mean for climate finance accessibility and accountability. There will be plenty of time to discuss successful approaches\, challenges and opportunities to amplify and strengthen each other’s work. After this in-person session\, there will be networking drinks so don’t miss out!   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:The Erosion of Facts in U.S. Politics: Implications for Foreign Policy and International Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:In an era increasingly defined by misinformation and ideological narratives\, the role of facts in shaping U.S. politics—both domestically and internationally—is under scrutiny. The 2024 presidential election\, marked by polarization and post-truthism\, raises pressing questions about the state of truth in governance and diplomacy. To what extent do facts still guide U.S. politics? How do these dynamics influence global alliances\, democracy promotion\, and international cooperation? \n\n\n\nThis event explores these questions\, examining how fact-based governance—or its decline—impacts NATO cohesion\, U.S.-China relations\, and human rights advocacy. We will consider the consequences for U.S. credibility and multilateral collaboration\, as well as parallels in Europe\, drawing lessons to bolster democratic resilience and institutional effectiveness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here!
