SUMMARY:Online Brown Bag Lunch Session: Decolonising Peace Direct
DESCRIPTION:On April 27\, from 12:30 to 13:30\, EPLO will host an online Brown Bag Lunch session in collaboration with Peace Direct\, taking place via Zoom. The session will focus on Peace Direct’s learning paper Decolonising Peace Direct and is open to all who are interested in engaging with this topic. \nThe discussion will centre on Peace Direct’s critical reflection on its own motivations and practices in relation to racism\, (de)colonialism\, and (de)coloniality. Through this work\, Peace Direct has sought to openly examine its approach and share the key lessons learned along the way. The resulting paper is intended to support other organisations and individuals in their own decolonisation journeys\, whether they are just beginning or already well along the process. \nBuilding on the insights from the paper\, the session will go beyond presentation to create space for an open and participatory exchange. Participants will be invited to share their own experiences and reflections on decolonising practices within their organisations\, with the aim of learning from one another\, exchanging perspectives\, and collectively deepening understanding of this ongoing work. \nTo take part\, please register via the Zoom link. Once registered\, you will automatically receive the access link and a calendar invitation\, and you are welcome to share the event with colleagues who may be interested. \n	Read the learning paper\n	\n	Register

SUMMARY:How to capture lessons and integrate learning & reflection into ongoing workflows
DESCRIPTION:How do we actually learn while a project is still ongoing? \nMost teams document lessons at the end of a project. By then\, opportunities to adapt have often already passed. \nThis webinar series begins with a story from Abdel-Rahman El-Mahdi who will share firsthand experiences from a civil society study conducted in Sudan. For each session\, collaborators and practitioners who are actively working in these contexts are invited to share how learning is approached\, challenged\, and applied in real time. \nThe first webinar focuses on a central question: How can lessons be captured and integrated into ongoing workflows\, rather than after the fact? \nDrawing on the Sudan case\, this session looks at what it takes to:\n🔎 Continuously reflect and adapt in uncertain and changing contexts\n🔎 Capture insights as they emerge\, not months later\n🔎 Turn experiences into structured knowledge that informs decisions\n🔎 Ensure that learning feeds directly back into the work \nThe session combines:\n💡 A short introduction to the principles behind structured learning\n💡A practitioner story from the field\, including challenges and trade-offs\n💡A joint reflection on what worked\, what did not\, and what can be done differently\n💡A brief look at how tools like Propel support this in practice \n  \n	Register now

SUMMARY:#DemocracyDrinks: Elections\, Legitimacy\, and Protests in Serbia
DESCRIPTION:Can Change Happen Within Distrusted Systems? \nIn many contemporary democracies\, formal institutions continue to function while public trust in them steadily declines. This creates a fundamental tension: if citizens no longer believe in the fairness or effectiveness of elections\, can those same elections still serve as a meaningful mechanism for change? \nThe situation in Serbia illustrates this dilemma vividly\, as waves of student-led protests and broader civic mobilization following the tragedy in Novi Sad raise questions not only about political outcomes\, but about the legitimacy of the processes themselves. \nAt the same time\, this issue resonates beyond national borders\, shaping debates within the European Union\, and in countries like the Netherlands\, about how to support democracy and rule of law in contexts where its core mechanisms are formally present but substantively contested. \nThis #DemocracyDrinks edition is organised in collaboration with The Serbian Diaspora in The Netherlands\, where you will have the opportunity to engage in conversation with serbian students\, the diaspora\, and see a small exhibition from the protests. \nJoin us on April 30th (17:00-19:00) for the #DemocracyDrinks The Hague and engage with \n\nOlga Pantić: She is coordinator of the Marketing Centre at Novi Sad University working on political articulation\, creation of political narrative and campaigns.\nMiloš Janjić: He is a freelance multimedia artist\, dancer and cultural worker from Belgrade. Since 2019 he has been actively engaged in the functioning of the self-organised alternative cultural center Magacin.\nRužica Jaćimović: She participated in democratic processes in the 1990s and later worked for the first democratic government. She brings both lived and professional perspective to the discussion\, shaped by her long-standing engagement with democratic change.\n\nWhat are the #DemocracyDrinks? \n#DemocracyDrinks is an informal\, recurring conversation and networking series bringing together people working on democracy\, peace\, justice\, and democratic participation. \nThe format is intentionally simple: open\, dialogue-led conversations in a relaxed setting. #DemocracyDrinks The Hague provides space to connect across sectors\, test ideas\, explore emerging questions\, and reflect collectively on democratic challenges beyond formal panels or presentations. \nLaunched by Defend Democracy in Brussels in 2018\, #DemocracyDrinks now takes place in cities around the world. Editions in The Hague have brought together a diverse mix of practitioners from NGOs\, international institutions\, think tanks\, government\, and civil society. The Hague series is co-organised by the Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC)\, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD)\, and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH). \n	Register now!
