SUMMARY:ISS Leadership Programme
DESCRIPTION:Lead with impact in a changing global landscape\nGlobal challenges are becoming more complex\, while funding and support for international cooperation are increasingly under pressure. This raises urgent questions for organizations working in development: how do you prepare for an uncertain future\, and how can you effectively integrate the latest social science insights into your policies and programmes? \nThis executive leadership programme is designed to help you navigate that complexity and strengthen your organisation’s impact in a rapidly changing world. \nAbout the programme\nThe programme starts on Tuesday\, 1 September 2026 at 15:00 and runs until the final session on 15 December 2026. It consists of eight sessions delivered in a hybrid format\, allowing participants to combine in-person and online learning. \nThe ISS Leadership Programme includes four face-to-face workshops in The Hague\, each lasting 2.5 hours\, alongside four online sessions of 1.5 hours. While in-person participation is encouraged\, all sessions can also be attended digitally\, making full remote participation possible. \nWith a group size of 15 to 20 participants\, the programme offers an interactive and focused learning environment for senior professionals from across the international development sector. \nDeveloped as part of the ISS Leadership Programme and in close collaboration with the Hague Humanitarian Studies Centre\, the course connects key themes such as resilience\, risk\, vulnerability\, and sustainable development. Participants are encouraged to translate insights directly into action within their own organisations. \nWho should attend\nThis course is aimed at experienced professionals with at least ten years of experience in international development. It is particularly relevant for managers\, leaders\, strategists\, monitoring and evaluation specialists\, and business developers. \nParticipants typically come from donor agencies\, international NGOs\, think tanks\, philanthropic foundations\, development consultancies\, and international development banks. The programme is also well suited for directors\, board members\, and management teams looking to strengthen their strategic leadership. \nWhat you will gain\nThroughout the programme\, you will develop the knowledge\, skills\, and mindset needed to increase your organization’s impact. You will learn how to move beyond linear approaches and adopt more adaptive forms of programming\, drawing on complexity thinking to better address real-world challenges. You will gain insights into how development efforts can be strengthened by anticipating future risks and enhancing societal resilience\, while also learning from best practices across organizations. \nIn addition\, the programme focuses on practical skill-building. You will learn how to identify blind spots within your organization\, engage constructively with donors and investors\, and create safe and inclusive work environments where innovation is encouraged. \nOn a personal level\, the programme supports your development as a leader. It helps you build the confidence and creativity needed to challenge existing structures and to foster a more open and learning-oriented organizational culture. \nLearning experience\nThe learning experience is highly interactive and designed to encourage exchange between participants. You will work in a small group setting that offers space for reflection\, discussion\, and peer learning. Participants are invited to bring a colleague to one of the sessions\, and those joining from abroad can take part in an additional online intervision session at no extra cost. \nBeyond the sessions themselves\, you will become part of a dynamic network of peers and gain access to the ISS alumni community. \nPractical details\nEach session requires approximately two hours of preparation. All teaching materials are included in the programme\, and upon completion you will receive a certificate from the International Institute of Social Studies. The course fee is €2\,450. \nCourse materials\nAs part of the programme\, you will receive the book Foreign Aid and its Unintended Consequences by Professor Dirk-Jan Koch\, published by Routledge in 2024. This book is included in the course fee and will be sent to you by post upon acceptance. \nIn addition\, you will have access to a series of knowledge video clips that you can watch at your own pace in preparation for the sessions. \n	Apply now!

SUMMARY:Female Traveler Training
DESCRIPTION:To gain awareness and confidence as a female traveler is the core objective of our 1-day Safety for Female Travelers training. The majority of security challenges for men and women serving INGOs are the same. Women are not necessarily more vulnerable than men\, but they do face other types of risks that require specific attention. To address these gender-related risks\, we have developed a female traveler training. This training will be facilitated by women who have extensive experience in living and working overseas and as travelers. Encouragement\, solution-finding\, and awareness are the focus of this day. The warm approach taken by our trainers allows for women to share their concerns\, experiences and questions in a safe and understanding environment. \nTOPICS \nSituational awareness\nPreparing for travel as a woman\nCultures and boundaries\nRevealing the patterns of a sex-offender\nHandling sexual assaults\nRecovering from incidents\nAdequate reactions in several scenarios/boundaries\nPhysical response and resilience \nCUSTOMIZATION \nAs every organization and mission is unique\, the risks and required skills for staff vary. Next to our fixed trainings\, we support organizations in specific questions that are not covered in regular security courses\, or require such confidentiality that sharing the courses with other organizations is not an option. Tell us what you require. We are confident that we can be of full service to your specific needs. \nSPECIFICS \nEducation level: MBO+ (secondary vocational education)\nPre-training: a full security training taken within the last 3 years\nStudy load: 8 hours\nTeaching materials included in course costs \nDURATION \n1 day \nPRICE \nOur Female Traveler Training costs € 495\,- euros p.p. and includes lunch and training materials. \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Samenwerken met diaspora-organisaties: ervaringen\, lessen en kansen
DESCRIPTION:Hoe werken Partosleden en diaspora-organisaties aan internationale solidariteit en samenwerking? Waar lopen we tegenaan en wat hebben we nodig om nieuwe verbindingen te laten ontstaan? Binnen het programma Nieuwe coalities voor internationale samenwerking organiseert Partos in samenwerking met Local Changemakers op 6 oktober een online uitwisseling tussen Partosleden en diaspora-organisaties. \nSamen verkennen\nWe willen deze bijeenkomst gebruiken om elkaar beter te leren kennen\, ervaringen te delen en samen te verkennen hoe de samenwerking tussen diaspora-organisaties en organisaties binnen internationale samenwerking kan worden versterkt. Welke  uitdagingen en aandachtspunten zien de deelnemers\, bijvoorbeeld rond gelijkwaardigheid\, rollen en verwachtingen\, representatie en het vinden van een passende vorm van samenwerking? \nDe bijeenkomst is nadrukkelijk geen presentatie of eenrichtingsverhaal. We willen ruimte maken voor ontmoeting en een open gesprek tussen verschillende organisaties en perspectieven. \nWe bespreken onder andere: \nWelke ervaringen zijn er met de samenwerking tussen diaspora-organisaties en Partosleden?\nWat maakt een samenwerking waardevol en gelijkwaardig?\nWelke uitdagingen of aandachtspunten komen we in de praktijk tegen?\nWelke kansen zien we voor nieuwe vormen van samenwerking?\nWaar is behoefte aan vanuit zowel diaspora-organisaties als Partosleden?\nHoe kunnen we samen aan een nieuwe toekomst voor internationale samenwerking bouwen?\nDe opbrengsten van de bijeenkomst nemen we mee in de verdere ontwikkeling van de Nieuwe Coalities voor internationale samenwerking. Zo willen we niet alleen nieuwe relaties leggen\, maar ook samenbouwen aan een bredere maatschappelijke coalitie rond internationale samenwerking en tegelijk de toekomst van ontwikkelingssamenwerking met elkaar vernieuwen. \nVoor wie?\nDe bijeenkomst is bedoeld voor Partosleden die samenwerken met diaspora-organisaties of dit willen verkennen\, én voor diaspora-organisaties die geïnteresseerd zijn in samenwerking rond internationale vraagstukken. Je hoeft dus geen bestaande samenwerking te hebben. Juist als je nieuwsgierig bent naar nieuwe verbindingen\, ben je van harte welkom. \nWil je vooraf al input geven over dit onderwerp? Vul dan vast deze korte vragenlijst in. Alvast bedankt! \nDit traject doet Partos in samenwerking met Georgina Kwakyevan Local Changemakers. \n	Schrijf je in This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Fireside Peace Chats: Peaceful Nation\, Violent Homes? with Elizabeth Molloy
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: You can join the event online\, at this link. \nJoin us for a dialogue on Household Conflict\, Polygamy\, and the Limits of Malawi’s Peaceful Reputation. \nPeace and conflict studies has traditionally organised itself around conflict between states\, ethnic groups\, or religions\, with the household treated as a separate\, private sphere outside its scope (Cockburn\, 2004). Malawi is often cited internationally as a model of peaceful democratic transition\, particularly after its 2019 election was annulled for fraud and a peaceful rerun brought the opposition to power in 2020\, an episode praised by donors and observers as a rare African success story. But can a reputation of peace abroad diametrically obscure or enable violence behind closed doors? \nIn this edition of Fireside Peace Chats\, our guest\, Elizabeth Molloy\, argues that such a national reputation for peace can mask high rates of violence within the household\, shaped by cultural norms\, economic systems\, family structures\, religion\, and marriage practices including polygamy. We will examine how cultural and structural factors combine to produce intra-household conflict that a country’s peaceful international image can obscure. \nAbout the Speaker: \nElizabeth Molloy is a gender and development specialist with 20 years of professional experience\, 14 of them in the gender sector. She has been director of C12 Consultants\, a research\, evaluation\, and social and environmental consulting firm\, for over a decade\, and has led gender-based violence research\, formative studies on masculinities\, and gender analyses of cash transfer and livelihoods programmes across Malawi and sub-Saharan Africa. She brings a gender lens to strategic evaluations for global climate-focused organisations\, and has designed gender and social inclusion strategies for major donor-funded programmes. Her research has also fed directly into practice through social safeguards work on renewable energy\, infrastructure\, and extractives projects across Malawi. She holds an MA in Education\, Gender and International Development from UCL. \nWhat are the Fireside Peace Chats?\nThe Fireside Peace Chats aim to create a space where practice\, research\, and policy in the field of peacebuilding come together in an informal way through the experiences of people on the ground. By sharing personal stories from peacebuilders and other figures with extensive experience in conflict areas\, we want to contribute to a locally informed paradigm shift in liberal peacebuilding. \nThe Fireside Peace Chats originally emerged as a joint initiative of Leiden University College (LUC) This link opens in a new tab\, the Knowledge Platform Security and Rule of Law (KPSRL) This link opens in a new tab\, and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH) This link opens in a new tab.

SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night: The Sharp Edge of Peace
DESCRIPTION:This special screening of The Sharp Edge of Peace\, directed by Roya Sadat\, is organised as part of the Gender Justice in International Law Conference\, taking place in The Hague on 6–7 October 2026. The event is organised by The Hague Humanity Hub and Art Works Projects\, with the support the Gender Justice in International Law Conference. \nThe screening will include a viewing of the exhibition ‘Women Between Peace and War: Afghanistan’and will be followed by a conversation bringing together Afghan\, legal\, humanitarian and advocacy perspectives to reflect on the situation of women in Afghanistan today and explore the role of international law\, diplomacy\, civil society and storytelling in keeping their rights and voices on the international agenda. \nAbout the event\nIn 2021\, four Afghan women — Fatima Gailani\, Fawzia Koofi\, Habiba Sarabi and Sharifa Zurmati — sat across the negotiating table from the Taliban as members of the Afghan government negotiating team. They entered the talks as political actors and representatives of their country\, seeking a path towards peace while defending rights that Afghan women had fought for over decades. \nThe Sharp Edge of Peace\, directed by groundbreaking Afghan filmmaker Roya Sadat\, takes audiences behind the scenes of these negotiations and follows the women as they navigate political pressure\, personal risk and profound uncertainty about Afghanistan’s future. Five years after the Taliban returned to power\, the film provides a starting point for a wider conversation: where do the struggle for Afghan women’s rights and international efforts towards justice and accountability stand today — and what role can the international community still play? \nFollowing the screening\, we will bring together perspectives from international law\, humanitarian and development organisations\, Afghan women’s rights and peacebuilding\, and documentary storytelling. The conversation will explore the legal and diplomatic avenues being pursued to address violations of women’s rights; current debates around the concept of gender apartheid; the challenges of supporting Afghan women without reinforcing or legitimising Taliban rule; and the initiatives that continue to protect women’s education\, leadership and civic participation. \nWe will also ask a broader question particularly relevant to The Hague: how can international institutions\, governments\, civil society\, practitioners and citizens contribute to sustaining attention\, accountability and meaningful support when a crisis risks disappearing from international focus? \nThe panel speakers will be announced soon. \nAbout the film\nThe Sharp Edge of PeaceDirected by Roya SadatProduced by MIRA Studios and Roya Film HouseDocumentary | 2024 | 60 minutes \nProgramme \n18:00 Doors open\, drinks and snacks & exhibition viewing \n18:30 Welcome and introduction \n18:40 Screening of The Sharp Edge of Peace \n19:40 Panel conversation and audience Q&A \n20:30 Networking drinks \n21:30 End of event \nPart of the Gender Justice in International Law Conference\nThis special Just Peace Movie Night forms part of the wider programme around the Gender Justice in International Law Conference\, taking place in The Hague on 6–7 October 2026. \nThe conference brings together practitioners\, scholars\, activists\, survivors and policymakers working on gender justice\, international law and accountability. By opening the conversation to a wider public audience\, this Movie Night creates a bridge between specialist discussions taking place during the conference and the people\, experiences and realities at the heart of them. \nWho is this event for?\nThe event is open to everyone.

SUMMARY:Economic growth for some\, devastation for others
DESCRIPTION:About this event \nArtisanal gold mining\, oil spills\, and illegal resource extraction are devastating ecosystems and threatening the survival of Indigenous and local communities across the Andes-Amazon region. This October\, we invite you to an inspiring evening dedicated to the environmental and social costs of resource extraction – and to what genuine\, just conservation could look like. \nWe are honored to welcome: \nDr. Ana Patricia Sandoval-Calderón\, PhD in Sciences from Utrecht University and Sustainability Project Advisor at TERRA Foundation. Based on ten years of research in Bolivia’s Apolobamba National Park\, her talk “Life After Mining in the Bolivian Andes” examines spatial and temporal data on livestock\, wildlife\, and biodiversity to unpack the social and environmental costs of mining in the Andes. \nNick Middeldorp\, PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and researcher\, presents “Indigenous Peoples at the Extractive Frontier: Regional Patterns and Community-Led Responses\,” based on his experience across Latin America over the past decade and his PhD fieldwork in Colombia’s North Cauca region. His talk looks at violence against Indigenous peoples across the region and zooms in on how the Nasa People´s Indigenous Guard (Kiwe Thegnas) protect their territory and communities amid the presence of armed groups tied to illegal mining and drug trafficking. He closes with recommendations on strengthening Indigenous-led protection and community cohesion in the face of ongoing violence. \nWilliam Silva Rodríguez\, legal representative of ASOMINTRACONAL and co-founder of Reserva Minga Kuri in Putumayo\, Colombia. His talk\, “From Extraction to Restoration: One Miner’s Path to Rebuilding the Amazon\,” traces his shift from over a decade in mining and machinery to closing his own extraction business in 2023 and leading ecological restoration – with roughly 25 of the reserve’s 74 hectares already restored and about 50\,000 native trees planted. He calls on companies\, authorities\, and funders to match the community’s work with independent assessment\, dialogue\, and investment in the region’s recovery. \nLiliana Jáuregui Bordones\, Director at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in the Netherlands\, will address the unequal burden of environmental degradation in the Amazon- examining why women and Indigenous peoples are disproportionately affected\, and how communities are resisting and building resilience in response. Building on lessons from PIDDA and Amazon Rights in Focus\, she outlines what donors and policymakers should do to support these efforts. \nThe talks are followed by a roundtable moderated by Sinéad Hewson\, PhD (Webster University Leiden)\, a communication strategist specializing in group dynamics and gender equity. \nAbout the TERRA Foundation \nTERRA Foundation supports locally-led conservation\, reforestation\, and social entrepreneurship initiatives around the globe\, with a focus on Latin America’s Andes-Amazon region. \nJoin TERRA Foundation’s efforts \nThe Andes-Amazon region is running out of time.
