SUMMARY:Agenda Exhibition Israel/Palestine; Pain and Hope – the Search for Peace Begins with Listening
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition is open daily from 1:00 pm until 6:00 pm. Admission is free. \nThe agenda is still under development and may be subject to change. Please check the agenda again shortly before the indicated date. The links for signing up are not yet made. Until that moment signing up is also possible through awf@annalindh.nl \nBackground \nThis exhibition\, Israel/Palestine; Pain and Hope\, is organised by the Dutch civil society network of the Anna Lindh Foundation in cooperation with numerous organisations. The Anna Lindh Foundation is an intergovernmental organisation established in 2005 that emerged from the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation process initiated in 1995 with the Barcelona Declaration. \nThis process was preceded by important political developments\, including the Madrid Conference of 1991\, where the principle of “land for peace” became central. This principle formed the basis for the 1993 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The Barcelona Process subsequently developed into a Euro-Mediterranean partnership for peace\, cooperation\, and dialogue. This led in 2005 to the establishment of the Anna Lindh Foundation\, in which Israel and Palestine participate together with other European and Mediterranean countries\, in the hope of promoting mutual understanding and peaceful cooperation. \nThe exhibition was organised within a very short period of time. Everyone who feels involved with Israel and Palestine was invited to submit work to our selection committee. Every individual and organisation that contributed material is responsible for the views represented in their own contributions. The Dutch Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation emphasises the importance of listening with empathy to different perspectives without endorsing specific political solutions. \nWe present photography and photographs of artworks that reflect the immense pain experienced by both Jews and Palestinians. At the same time\, we must continue to hold on to hope for a just and peaceful future for Jews and Palestinians alike. We therefore explicitly invited participants to contribute works that express hope. \nAgenda \nOn Thursday June 18\, venue open at 15:30. Opening at 16:30. Award-winning Palestinian professional photojournalist\, filmmaker\, and media consultant Mohammed Zanoun will present one photograph of Gaza from before the war and two photographs taken after its destruction. Following this brief presentation Mariëlle Vavier\, Deputy Mayor and Alderman for Poverty Reduction\, Inclusion\, Healthcare and International Affairs in The Hague\, former mayor Wim Deetman\, former D66 Senator Hanneke-Gelderblom\, rabbi Asjer Waterman (LJG) and our Egyptian curator Dr. Afaf Badran will open the exhibition. After the opening Dr. Afaf Badran will take Deputy Mayor Vavier and other speakers to the exhibition. Space is limited. Registration is required. LINK eventbrite \nDue to the expected number of guests\, a second opening session will take place at 7:30 p.m. Unfortunately\, Deputy Mayor Mariëlle Vavier will not be able to attend this second opening. \nThe opening is intended as a space for encounter\, dialogue\, and reflection\, not as a demonstration. Therefore\, flags\, banners\, and other forms of protest expression are not permitted. The wearing of personal clothing and symbols\, including a keffiyeh\, pins\, and religious symbols\, is permitted. \nA second opening moment is on Friday June 19\, 19:30 – 21:30\, with the presentation of the Podcast Truly Heard with Hanneke Gelderblom-Lankhout and Palestinian journalist Taghreed Elkhodary\, born and raised in Gaza\, about compassion with others despite big differences in convictions. Podcast Stefan Flos explains how this podcast came about. After the presentation questions can be asked. Signing up required \nDialogue Evenings \nOn the following evenings\, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm\, we are organising dialogue discussions. These are free of charge and open to the public. Some evenings will be conducted in Dutch\, while others will be in English. Participants are required to register online in advance. \nThursday 18 June \nPodcast Truly Heard with Jewish former D66 senator Hanneke Gelderblom and Palestinian journalist Taghreed Elkhodary\, born and raised in Gaza. The subject is compassion for people with whom we disagree. We will present the podcast. Podcast maker Stefan Vlos will explain how it was produced\, after which visitors will be able to ask questions to Hanneke\, Taghreed\, and Stefan. English with possible Dutch translation. [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nSaturday 20 June \nDialogue in Nes Ammim. A Christian community in northern Israel that brings Israelis from different backgrounds\, including religious backgrounds\, into dialogue with one another. The foundation facilitates and guides this dialogue in a completely apolitical manner. What is needed for this\, and what can we in the Netherlands learn from it? Here too\, conversations can sometimes feel uncomfortable because listeners may have certain expectations or assumptions. Do we dare to ask questions and truly listen? Are we still able to look at others with genuine curiosity? Nes Ammim puts this into practice in Israel and\, especially on this evening\, also in the Netherlands. Hanneke Gelderblom also hopes to be present. Participants will again be encouraged to take an active part in the discussion by asking questions. \nWithin Nes Ammim there is a conviction that taking political positions makes it more difficult to bring together participants with widely differing political views. Presentation of the dialogue village Nes Ammim in Israel\, where Jews\, Christians\, and Muslims with strongly differing views come together. Presentation in Dutch. [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nTuesday 23 June \nIs the Two-State Solution Still Viable? \nArabist and journalist Eildert Mulder has lost hope in a two-state solution and will present his proposal for a one-state solution in 20 minutes. Dr. Gershon Baskin of the Alliance for Two States remains convinced that the two-state solution is still possible and will respond to Mulder. Both will present their visions and engage in discussion with one another. Dr. Baskin lives in Israel and will participate online. Hanneke Gelderblom will also participate. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask questions. Language: English [CONFIRMED with both speakers] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nThursday 25 June \nA two-part podcast with Bart Wallet and Natascha van Weezel about peace initiatives. Part 1: What do civil society peace initiatives still mean in a time of war and ongoing threat? Part 2: Why do attempts at peace continue to prove so difficult? The role of politics and leadership in the Middle East and the tension between peace\, security\, and justice will be discussed. We will engage in discussion after seeing the podcast. Language: Dutch. Registration: LINK eventbrite \nFriday 26 June \nMeeting with award-winning Palestinian professional photojournalist\, filmmaker\, and media consultant Mohammed Zanoun\, who portrays the painful human consequences of conflict\, siege\, and starvation in Gaza. In addition\, Mohammed conducted academic studies examining the long-term effects of war on the region. In the line of duty\, he survived life-threatening injuries that caused severe facial and bodily trauma. Despite these profound physical challenges\, he returned to the field with unwavering determination to continue his mission and convey the truth to the world. Former D66 senator Hanneke Gelderblom will reflect on Mohammed’s work. Language: English [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nSaturday 27 June \nErik Tilanus and Ambassador Robert Bosch\, secretary and chairman of the CDA Middle East Members’ Council. How has the CDA’s position regarding Israel and the Palestinians changed since the founding of the CDA\, and how does the party navigate between the theory of its party programme and political practice? \nExplanation as to why the CDA Middle East Members’ Council has been invited specifically: they are members of the Dutch network of the Anna Lindh Foundation. This network is also open to Middle East-oriented working groups and committees from all political parties. Former D66 senator Hanneke Gelderblom will also participate in this discussion. Language: Dutch [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nDonations \nThis exhibition was made possible through a donation of €3\,936 from the Anna Lindh Foundation. We were therefore unfortunately not in a position to pay the photographers and artists. In addition\, we worked exclusively with volunteers. The total costs are not yet fully known\, but despite these voluntary contributions our costs are certainly considerably higher. We would therefore greatly appreciate your donation. There are three ways to contribute: \n	For families of participating photographers/artists in Gaza\n	\n	For the organisational costs of the Arab-West Foundation\, which is entirely dependent on donations. The foundation has ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation) status. \n	\n	For individual photographers/artists who contributed to this exhibition. \n	\nYour donations are greatly appreciated! \n	More information about the event

SUMMARY:Non-Violent Communication (NVC) for Peace and Justice
DESCRIPTION:Learn to collaborate across different perspectives and navigate friction in this 2-hour workshop. \n \nNon-Violent Communication (NVC) for Peace and Justice: Moving from Judgment to Understanding\nIn a community dedicated to global impact\, communication is a very vital tool. Yet\, even among those sharing the same values\, tense conversations and misunderstandings are inevitable. How we navigate those moments determines the strength of our ecosystem. \nJoin us on June 19th at The Hague Humanity Hub for a 2-hour experimental session led by Sabine Morf\, a Certified NVC Trainer. NVC is not about “being nice”; it is a practical framework for identifying what is meaningful and asking for what matters without blame or pressure. \nWhat you will gain:\n\nThe Jackal & The Giraffe: Learn to recognize the language of blame and shift toward empathy.\nThe Four-Step Framework: Move from reactive patterns to clear\, intentional communication.\nDecoding Judgement: Practice identifying the universal human needs hidden behind criticism.\nInner Space & Choice: Use “needs-awareness” as an anchor to explore creative solutions instead of defensive reactions.\n\nWhy should you join this session?\nThis workshop is designed for professionals in the peace and justice community who want to: \n\nCollaborate effectively across diverse perspectives.\nTurn conflict into moments of genuine connection.\nBuild resilient relationships to strengthen the peace and justice ecosystem.\nTransform friction into shared clarity for focused energy toward impact.\n\nEvent Details\n\nDate: 19 June 2026 from 10:30-12:30. Walk-in from 10:15\, preferred arrival by 10:20.\nLocation: The Hague Humanity Hub\nFacilitator: Sabine Morf (Certified NVC Trainer\, Dialogue Garden)\nRequirement: No previous experience required.\nRegistration: Free\n\n“I believe this method has great value for the world. I have been looking for ways to bring NVC to the peace and justice community and am grateful that Sabine is willing to share her expertise with us.” — Jill Wilkinson\, Managing Director of The Humanity Hub \n	Sign up here! This link opens in a new tab\n	\nLooking Ahead: Based on interest\, we will offer a 5-week basic NVC course in the fall of 2026 (2.5 hours per week) to dive deeper into these practices. \nThis workshop is a partnership between The Hague Humanity Hub and Dialogue Garden. The Hague Humanity Hub is a vibrant platform for changemakers to collaborate towards a peaceful and just world. Dialogue Garden offers customized workshops and one-on-one support based on Non-Violent Communication (NVC) techniques: a compassionate communication framework designed to foster connection and navigate conflict. This activity is part of the Connection Platform\, enabling the creation of an inclusive and dynamic Hub that fosters collaboration\, learning\, and networking among a diverse community of members and partners\, while enabling expertise sharing by Hub members and partners.
