SUMMARY:International Investigator Course
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception\, IICI has run 40 International Investigator Courses. The course is our flagship two-week residential course covering the essential investigation skills for international criminal and human rights investigations. \nThe course involves a range of seminars and roleplay exercises\, including several days at the Dutch Military School of Peacekeeping. \nIt is an intensive course aimed at those with an existing level of professional competence and experience in investigations or related areas.  Its workload and exercises are deliberately designed to replicate the pressures of an investigation mission environment.  By the end\, trainees will have an enhanced knowledge of international law and be able to identify the required elements of international crimes and violations. They will be able to plan an investigation strategy to collect evidence to prove those required elements. They will have the basic skills to document a crime scene and to interview witnesses and victims in order to collect evidence a standard admissible for criminal prosecution\, human rights reporting or other documentation purposes. They will know how to do so in a manner which protects themselves\, their witnesses and their evidence. \n	Apply here! This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Community Drinks: Biodiversity in the City of Peace & Justice
DESCRIPTION:Connect\, share & learn about what different organisations are doing to make the world more peaceful and sustainable at the Community Drinks\n\nWhat if your next game-changing connection is just a drink away? \nJoin us for Community Drinks to wind down around a glass\, make new connections\, and get inspired by the spotlights of the evening. Hosted at The Hague Humanity Hub\, this is the place for you to get away from your busy schedule and enjoy after-hours with purposeful conversations. \nWhat can you expect?\nCome to the Hub on Thrusday\, April 16th\, between 17:00 and 19:00\, for a drink (or two) and meet professionals that think about the interconnectedness of ecosystems and global policies. \nFrom coastal dunes and migratory birds to urban gardens and pollinators\, biodiversity surrounds us—even in the heart of a global city like The Hague! As environmental pressures intensify worldwide\, conversations about how we protect and preserve the natural world are becoming increasingly urgent\, and they belong not only in laboratories and policy rooms but also in our communities. \nThe theme of ”Biodiversity & Preservation” encourages us to think about the interconnectedness of ecosystems\, societies\, and global policy. Biodiversity loss is not only an environmental challenge; it is deeply linked to human rights\, food security\, climate resilience\, and social stability. Protecting ecosystems means protecting communities and futures. \nJoin The April edition of the Community Drinks for a fruitful conversation that may spark collaborations\, inspire new perspectives\, or simply deepen our collective awareness of the living systems that sustain us. \nWe would like to explore some of the following questions through the selected spotlights for the evening: \n\nWhat does biodiversity mean in an urban city like The Hague\, and how can cities become spaces that actively support ecological diversity?\nHow are local ecosystems\, from the North Sea coastline to urban green spaces\, changing\, and what can communities do to help protect them?\nWhat role can residents\, civil society organizations\, and international institutions in The Hague play in preserving biodiversity at both local and global levels?\nHow can urban planning\, architecture\, and public spaces contribute to healthier ecosystems and more biodiversity-friendly cities?\nHow can international policy conversations taking place in The Hague connect more directly to local environmental action?\nAnd finally\, how can we foster a stronger sense of connection between people\, place\, and the natural systems that sustain life in and around our city?\n\nThrough short spotlights and open discussion\, the evening aims to create space for reflection\, inspiration\, and collaboration across disciplines and communities. \nWho are the speakers? \n\nGreenAnt\nGreenAnt is a climate-tech company leveraging satellite data and artificial intelligence to tackle environmental risks. They focus on providing cutting-edge solutions for climate risk management\, disaster response\, and sustainability analysis.\nOne Acre Fund\nOne Acre Fund works with 5.6 million smallholder farmer households to equip them with the supplies and training they need to thrive. They put Farmers First in everything they do\, helping them grow more food\, plant more trees\, and earn more money from their harvests.\nSpace4Good\nSpace4Good is a team of impact-driven data scientists\, remote sensing & GIS experts\, software developers as well as environmental and urban planners using their unique skills and experience for social and environmental impact.\n\nWho is it for?\nIf you are interested in connecting with people and their work towards a more peaceful\, just and sustainable world\, this event is for you. Whatever your role or sector\, join Community Drinks to relax\, exchange perspectives\, and connect with this vibrant community committed to making the world more peaceful\, just and sustainable\, one conversation at a time. \nPrivacy Policy \nThe Humanity Hub collects your name\, email\, and organization (if you have one) when you sign up for events\, so they can manage the event and tell you about future ones.

Organised by PLNT Leiden and PLNT Students\, the event offers a hands-on experience focused on collaboration\, creativity\, and developing solutions with tangible impact. \nThis year’s central theme\, “Nourishing Neighbourhoods\,” invites participants to explore how communities can become safer\, more connected\, and more sustainable. Within this theme\, teams define their own challenge and work within one of three focus areas: \n\nSafe Neighbourhood\nConnected Neighbourhood\nGreen Neighbourhood\n\nThroughout the day\, participants will move from problem identification to solution development\, working collaboratively to research\, ideate\, and prototype innovative concepts. The event culminates in a final pitching session\, where teams present their solutions to peers and partners. \nThe Impacthon has two main objectives: \n\nTo stimulate innovative thinking and problem-solving by empowering students to address real-life challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration;\nTo create meaningful connections between participants\, fostering teamwork\, exchange of perspectives\, and shared learning.\n\nJoin us if you are: \n\nA student eager to work on real-world challenges;\nInterested in innovation\, sustainability\, or community impact;\nMotivated to collaborate with people from different disciplines and backgrounds.\n\nThe day includes plenary sessions\, breakout workshops\, and dedicated time for team collaboration\, as well as opportunities to connect informally during shared meals and networking moments. \nThe winning team will receive a €2000 prize to invest in a workshop or course of their choice—supporting personal growth and future ambitions. \nHow will you make an impact? \n	Register here!
