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:WORKSHOP SCHIJNSZELFSTANDIGHEID
DESCRIPTION:Pro Bono Connect organiseert een praktische workshop over  schijnzelfstandigheid\, een van de  meest  urgente  juridische  vraagstukken  voor   maatschappelijke  organisaties in Nederland. Steeds meer stichtingen\, NGO’s  en  andere  non profitorganisaties werken samen met zzp’ers en freelancers. De wet- en  regelgeving  rondom de kwalificatie van deze arbeidsrelaties is de afgelopen jaren sterk in beweging. \nMet het opheffen van het handhavingsmoratorium door de Belastingdienst per 1 januari 2025 staat schijnzelfstandigheid volop in de aandacht. Organisaties die werken met zelfstandigen kunnen nu daadwerkelijk worden gecontroleerd en geconfronteerd worden met naheffingen\, boetes en arbeidsrechtelijke verplichtingen. \nTijdens deze workshop nemen advocaten van HVG Law en EY deelnemers mee door de relevante wetgeving en jurisprudentie\, en wat deze betekenen voor de praktijk van maatschappelijke organisaties. De sessie biedt ruimte voor vragen over concrete situaties in uw eigen organisatie. \nBen je er bij? \n	Meld je hier aan! This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Pre-COP Roundtable ‘Avenues of Action on Climate and Displacement’
DESCRIPTION:In the run-up to COP31\, being held in Tϋrkiye in November 2026\, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh in the Netherlands\, The Hague Humanitarian Studies Centre\, and the International Institute of Social Studies invite you to join a roundtable event examining Avenues of Action on Climate and Displacement.  \nOver the last decade\, weather-related disasters have displaced approximately 250 million people within their own countries. Floods\, storms\, droughts and heatwaves are already uprooting communities. Some people move temporarily and return to their homes and livelihoods\, while others cannot go back and move within countries or across borders in search of safety. \nIt is thus time to make a plan to build resilience for those adapting to climate\, take action in providing support to people migrating across borders and recognising the challenges of climate-related displacement within countries. \nIn this roundtable\, speakers and panellists will consider potential avenues of action to help adapt and prepare for climate-related displacement\, including working with host communities to reduce risks for both newcomers and improving adaptation strategies for existing residents. \nExamples will be explored from Bangladesh and elsewhere. \nSpeakers\nWelcome: Professor Ruard GanzevoortOpens external\, ISS Rector \nScene-setting: Hyeonggeun JiOpens external\, Researcher\, HSC-ISS \nJoint action 1: Paul van de LogtOpens external\, Head of Climate\, Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs \nJoint action 2: Kevin Playford\,Opens external Deputy Head of Mission\, Embassy of Australia in the Netherlands \n\nRoundtable discussion moderated by Professor Thea Hilhorst\, HSC Director and featuringProfessor Joyeeta Gupta\, UvA\nDr Bishawjit Mallik\, University of Utrecht\nJoep Verhagen\, Director Global Centre on Adaptation\nDr Rodrigo Mena\, Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Association\n\nClosing by H.E.

SUMMARY:Community Drinks: Voices & Visibility: Who gets heard in a crowded world?
DESCRIPTION:Connect\, share & learn about what different organisations are doing to make the world more peaceful and sustainable at the Community Drinks \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?\nJoin the Community Drinks on Voices & Visibility: Who gets heard is a crowded world? from 17:30 to 19:00 for an evening of conversation\, reflection\, and connection around a question that sits at the heart of much of the peace and justice work happening in The Hague: who gets heard? \nIn a world with more voices\, stories\, crises\, and competing priorities than ever before\, being heard is not simply about having something to say. It is also about having access to the spaces\, platforms\, resources\, and decision-making processes that determine what receives attention. Thus\, questions like: Who gets invited into the room? Whose knowledge is considered credible? Who gets to tell the story? And why do some crises receive more attention\, resources\, and political response than others? Are deeply connected. \nWe will explore questions such as: \nWhat does it mean to have a voice and once someone has a voice\, who gets to tell their story and who controls the narrative?\nWhy do some crises receive significant media\, political\, and humanitarian attention while others remain largely invisible?\nAnd finally\, how can organisations ensure that local knowledge and lived experience genuinely shape decisions?\nThrough short speaker spotlights and an open discussion\, the evening will create space to exchange experiences\, challenge assumptions\, and consider how we can create more meaningful spaces for voices that are too often overlooked. \nWho are the speakers?\nThis edition of Community Drinks\, “Voices and Visibility: Who gets heard in a crowded world?” brings together different perspectives from across The Hague’s peace and justice ecosystem to explore three interconnected questions: \nThe speakers for this edition will be announced shortly before the event. We are bringing together complementary perspectives from across the peace and justice ecosystem\, exploring the relationship between voice\, power\, storytelling\, representation\, and visibility. \nRather than approaching the topic from a single discipline\, the conversation will connect experiences from different parts of the ecosystem and invite participants to reflect on how the decisions we make about who we listen to\, whose stories we share\, and what we choose to highlight are shaped and can shape what the international community ultimately understands and acts upon. \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. \nCome ready to share your perspective\, meet others working across the ecosystem\, and explore what it really takes to be heard—and listen to. \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. If you want to receive the Hub newsletter\, or if you have food allergies (for events with food)\, the Hub will collect that too.
