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:Vervolg jongerenbijeenkomst: denk mee over jongerenbetrokkenheid binnen Partos
DESCRIPTION:Op 2 oktober gaan we verder in gesprek over de rol van jongeren binnen Partos en de internationale samenwerkingssector. Tijdens de eerste bijeenkomst in juli ontstonden veel ideeën en enthousiasme over hoe jongerenperspectieven een sterkere plek kunnen krijgen binnen Partos. Nu is het tijd om deze ideeën verder te brengen en concreter te maken. \nEr gebeurt al veel. Verschillende Partos-leden hebben bijvoorbeeld jongerenraden\, jongerenambassadeurs\, communities en andere vormen van jongerenparticipatie. De vraag is daarom niet óf jongeren betrokken moeten worden\, maar vooral hoe we jongeren op een betekenisvolle manier kunnen betrekken. \nWe zien jongerenbetrokkenheid als zeer waardevol voor Partos en de sector. Jongeren brengen nieuwe perspectieven\, ervaringen en passie en kunnen bijdragen aan de toekomst van de internationale samenwerking. Maar hoe zorgen we ervoor dat jongeren niet alleen worden geraadpleegd of vertegenwoordigd\, maar daadwerkelijk invloed kunnen uitoefenen? En wat kunnen wij als branchevereniging voor internationale samenwerking bieden aan jongeren? \nOp 2 oktober willen we ons verdiepen in de vraag: Welke vorm van jongerenbetrokkenheid draagt bij aan een toekomstbestendige Partos-vereniging en sector\, en biedt tegelijkertijd waarde voor jongeren zelf? Daarbij staan de behoeften\, ervaringen en perspectieven van jongeren centraal. \nDe opbrengsten van deze gesprekken en bijeenkomsten vormen de basis voor een advies van jongeren aan de Partos-vereniging. Dit advies kan worden aangeboden aan het bestuur van Partos en worden gepresenteerd tijdens de Algemene Ledenvergadering (ALV) op 19 november. \nVoor deze bijeenkomst zijn we op zoek naar een diverse groep jongeren met verschillende achtergronden\, ervaringen en perspectieven\, die geïnteresseerd zijn in internationale samenwerking. Je hoeft geen expert te zijn in jongerenparticipatie of te werken voor een organisatie in de sector. Juist jouw eigen ervaring\, ideeën en blik op de toekomst zijn waardevol. Voor deelname ontvang je een vrijwilligersvergoeding en worden je reiskosten vergoed. \nWil jij meer betrokken zijn bij de toekomst van jongerenbetrokkenheid binnen Partos? Of wil je jouw ervaringen en ideeën hierover delen? Neem dan contact op met Stephanie. We gaan graag met je in gesprek! \n	Schrijf je in This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Partos Perscafé: De rol van onderzoekers in het publieke debat over internationale samenwerking
DESCRIPTION:Het Partos Perscafé is een terugkerend\, informeel programma voor leden en journalisten\, waarin we telkens met andere gasten en vanuit een andere invalshoek kijken naar de wisselwerking tussen pers\, beleid\, positionering en opinievorming rond internationale samenwerking. \nInternationale samenwerking en de rol van maatschappelijke organisaties staan onder druk in het publieke en politieke debat. Feiten en beeldvorming lopen daarbij niet altijd gelijk op. Hoe zorgen we dat onderzoek en data een stevigere plek krijgen in dat debat? En welke rol kunnen onderzoekers zelf spelen om de publieke opinie rond de sector te voeden met feiten in plaats van aannames? \nDaarbij past ook een scherp onderscheid: het is niet aan wetenschappers om het belang van internationale samenwerking of het maatschappelijk middenveld te bepleiten. Wél kunnen zij\, vanuit hun onderzoek\, duiden wat de feitelijke impact is van bijvoorbeeld bezuinigingen op internationale samenwerking\, hoe de rol van het maatschappelijk middenveld verandert\, en hoe Nederland zich internationaal verhoudt tot andere landen. Feiten en duiding — los van pleitbezorging — is precies waar de pers vaak behoefte aan heeft. \nTijdens dit Partos Perscafé gaan we hierover in gesprek met: \nMargit van Wessel\, universitair hoofddocent Strategische Communicatie\, Wageningen University & Research — onderzoekt de rol van maatschappelijke organisaties en advocacy in ontwikkelingssamenwerking.\nLau Schulpen\, universitair hoofddocent Ontwikkelingsstudies\, Radboud Universiteit — gespecialiseerd in internationale samenwerking en maatschappelijk middenveld.\nThea Hilhorst\, hoogleraar Humanitaire Studies\, International Institute of Social Studies (Erasmus Universiteit) — onderzoekt de relatie tussen hulp en samenleving in conflict- en crisisgebieden.\nSamen belichten zij verschillende kanten van de sector — van maatschappelijk middenveld tot humanitaire hulp — en delen ze hun inzichten over hoe wetenschap en journalistiek elkaar kunnen versterken\, én waar de grenzen van hun rol liggen. \nWe bespreken onder meer: \nWaar liggen de grenzen tussen feitelijke duiding\, journalistiek werk en pleitbezorging\, en hoe bewaken onderzoekers die? Welke rol kunnen onderzoekers spelen in de wisselwerking tussen NGO’s\, journalisten en media?\nWat zeggen de cijfers over de impact van bezuinigingen en de krimpende rol van het maatschappelijk middenveld? Hoe verhoudt Nederland zich ten opzichte van andere landen op dit vlak?\nWat hebben journalisten nodig om onderzoek goed te kunnen duiden\, en hoe bereik je hen als onderzoeker? Kunnen NGO’s en wetenschappers constructief samen optrekken in hun mediabenadering\, ieder vanuit de eigen rol? \n	Register now

SUMMARY:Hybrid event- From Commitment to Action: Advancing Locally-Led Development
DESCRIPTION:The OECD Guidelines\nIn May\, the OECD published its Guidelines for Supporting Locally Led Development (LLD)\, setting out a roadmap for DAC donors to strengthen local agency\, rebalance power\, and foster more equitable partnerships. The guidelines challenge development actors to reflect on how existing systems can evolve\, where new approaches can be tested\, and how collective action can better respond to local actors’ calls for greater ownership and decision-making power. \nThe Call to Action\nThis comes at a critical moment. As Official Development Assistance (ODA) faces increasing pressure and shrinking budgets\, there is a growing need to ensure that available resources are used in ways that support sustainable\, locally driven change. Against this backdrop\, the Call to Action was established to move the conversation on locally led development beyond commitments and declarations\, and towards meaningful implementation. \nThe Call to Action calls on governments\, private foundations\, INGOs\, and other development partners to embed the OECD Guidelines into their policies\, programmes\, and partnerships. This means recognising local actors as co-decision-makers\, providing more flexible\, long-term and predictable funding\, and redefining international actors as enablers of local leadership. \nThis Hybrid Event\nTogether\, Partos\, Peace Direct and The Hague Humanity Hub are convening a conversation about what this Call to Action means for the (Dutch) development landscape. It looks more specifically at how to close the gap between commitment and implementation. The session will feature an introduction to the Call to Action and the underlying OECD Guidelines on LLD. This will be followed by a panel conversation bringing together Dutch funders and other development partners to discuss practical ways of advancing locally led development and exploring ways of monitoring the commitments. \nThe Panel Conversation and Speakers\nThis event brings together experts from across the international cooperation sector to discuss practical approaches to advancing locally led development\, translating commitments into action\, and strengthening equitable partnerships. The panel conversation will be moderated by Kloe Tricot O’Farrell from Peace Direct and offers diverse perspectives and valuable insights from:\nLaurent Umans- Policy Officer at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs\nMoses Isooba- Director at NGO Forum Uganda & Vice Chair Forus\nDeepa Nambiar- Global Director at Pledge for Change\nGregory De Paepe- Policy Analyst at OECD\nSandra Kloezen- Program manager at Fred Foundation\nSource: https://locallyleddevelopment.org/ \n  \n	Register now!

SUMMARY:Werksessie Toekomstvisie internationale samenwerking
DESCRIPTION:This event will be in Dutch \nThe world is in transition: geopolitical power shifts\, climate change\, shifting global relations. That requires more than re-ening existing policies. In this session we try to break away from the existing frameworks — from the current donor-recipient relationship\, from common financing models\, perhaps even from the concept of “development cooperation” as we know it now. \nIn this session\, in collaboration with the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT)\, we will jointly answer the question: what will a just\, global cooperation look like in fifteen years\, and what does that mean for our role in this? \nThat requires something different from all of us than the previous round: not only to react from our own position\, theme and practice\, but also to be challenged to question that practice. Exactly the kind of inconvenience it takes to really look ahead. \nWe invite a diverse representation of the Partos members to participate. Through an interactive working session — with both breakout sessions and plenary sections — we work towards concrete recommendations and a future vision for the sector that looks beyond the delusion of the day. \n	Register now!

SUMMARY:Harvesting Insights\, Planting New Seeds: the closing of the Climate Justice CoP
DESCRIPTION:Over the last 3 years\, the Partos Climate Justice Community of Practice has provided a platform that brings together professionals from a wide range of organisations\, working on programmes that promote climate justice in different ways. We have had inspiring learning sessions on a wide range of topics\, such as climate finance\, nature-based solutions and locally led adaptation. \nThis year\, the Climate Justice CoP will come to an end. Therefore\, we are organising a closing session to look back at what we have learned and plant seeds for future collaboration. Together with the The Hague Humanity Hub\, we are hosting this session as an opportunity to (re)connect with each other\, share challenges and explore possibilities to work together in the future. \nThe session also provides a chance to situate the CoP’s work within the broader community of changemakers connected to The Hague Humanity Hub. At the Hub\, the Climate Justice community is a network of actors working at the intersection of climate\, peace\, and justice. By bringing together diverse voices\, the Hub aims to foster dialogue\, spark collaboration\, and support collective action toward a more just and resilient future. In this context\, the Hub’s Climate Justice community hopes to explore ways in which some of the initiatives developed under the Partos Community of Practice (CoP) can continue to grow and inspire further collaboration. \n  \nWhat to expect\nDuring the session we will look back on the past years and look forward to identify concrete opportunities for collaboration beyond this community in the future. Together we will explore: How can we keep collaborating to put climate justice principles into practice \n  \nThe programme includes:\n\nPresentation of the Climate Justice learning document with the main insights and learning from the past years.\nOpen Space session\, exploring: How can we keep collaborating to put climate justice principles into practice? Through this methodology you will help shape the agenda by bringing forward the topics and ideas that matter most right now. Together\, we’ll explore what issues and challenges still need attention\, and how we can continue to support each other and work together in the future.\nExposition: A glimpse into the future. What does a fair\, just and inclusive climate transition look like—both in the Netherlands and across the globe? And what are the consequences if we fail to make this a priority? Explore our interactive dioramas and discover what lies ahead.\n\n  \nJoin us for this in-person session and bring your best ideas\, questions and challenges! \n  \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Growing beyond this moment: The closing of the Partos DEI and anti-racism trajectories
DESCRIPTION:Closing a chapter\nOver the past three years Partos has facilitated the DEI trajectory\, a series of powerful sessions centring on reflection\, dialogue\, and action around DEI and anti-racism. Together\, we have explored how exclusion and racism manifest within our organisations\, and how we can take intentional\, collective steps to dismantle them. \n  \nYears after the global outcry for justice and equity (#BLM\, #metoo)\, society shows us that these values are easily broken and under pressure. The DEI trajectory proofs that DEI\, when justice-led and part of a broader strategy\, is still a way to practice commitment to equity in a world where racism\, sexism\, ableism\, discrimination\, xenophobia and trans & homophobia is still imminent. \n  \nClosing Community Event\nAs this shared journey comes to a close\, we’re excited to present the final report\, capturing key learnings\, experiences\, and insights gathered along the way. During the closing event\, we’ll share these outcomes and invite you to look ahead with us\, identifying how we can sustain and deepen this work in the years to come: \n\nMaking sense of the state of DEI beyond 2025\nInteractive workshop that will spark your DEI (resistance) stamina by Elodie Kona\, DEI Expert and co-author of Uncomfortable Conversations & co-editor of the “Inclusion Marathon” and our very own “Partos DEI Handbook”\nLaunch and presentation of the Partos DEI handbook\, a publication capturing all lessons learned\, tips and tools of the DEI Trajectory\, which has been made possible because of all of you!\nPlenty of space for conversation\, inspiration and connection.\nDrinks & food\n\nPlease note\, that we only have 35 places available of which 7 will be for people outside of the trajectory. If two people from the same organisation\, please let us know so we can check for availability. \nWe look forward to seeing you there\, to celebrate what we’ve built together\, and to grow beyond this moment!\n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Communicating with impact: How to bring global citizenship and global issues close and create real engagement for international cooperation
DESCRIPTION:How do you embed global citizenship in your organization\, and how do you create real\, lasting engagement with global issues? How do we bring these topics closer to a wider audience – and how do we also reach young people in the process? During this meeting\, we will share learning experiences and insights on how we as organizations deal with global citizenship. Together\, we are investigating the role of communication in this and how we can give international solidarity more meaning and visibility. A moment to exchange experiences\, gain inspiration and go into depth together. \n  \nWhat can you expect?\nHow do we give global citizenship a meaningful place within our organizations\, at a time when rapid fundraising and marketing strategies often predominate? Is it possible to make room for awareness and involvement\, even if the pressure on short-term results is great? By putting global citizenship more at the heart of our work\, we aim to build broader support and sustainable support for international cooperation. \nBut what does this require of us? Do we need more time\, trust and patience to form real relationships and create lasting engagement on global issues? And how can we engage citizens in an inclusive and meaningful way on topics such as human rights\, democracy\, equality and climate justice? \nIn a previous session\, we already explored a number of insights. This meeting builds on that. Together\, we look for strategies\, inspiration and space to deepen communication and engagement — for more impact\, connection and global citizenship. \n  \nComponents of the meeting\n\nBest Practice | Marcel Catsburg of Woord & Daad discusses how the organization integrates the concept of global citizenship into its policy and how it seeks to connect with its supporters in a communicative way.\nInspirational Talk by creative strategist Ard Lok: What’s the secret of effective communication to engage people in a cause/movement?\nBest Practice | ErnstJan Stroes of Wilde Ganzen explains the steps the organization is taking to give global citizenship a crucial place in its policies and programs.\nExchanging and learning from each other.\n\n  \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab\n	\n  \nPlease note: this event was originally posted in Dutch.

SUMMARY:Democracies under attack: the anti-rights movement and their tactics to influence the public narrative
DESCRIPTION:As part of a series of Brown Bag Sessions on the anti-rights movement\, we present our second Brown Bag Session of 2025\, a short online\, informal learning session. In this brown-bag session\, we will take a deep dive into the global anti-rights movement coordinated attacks against democracy and civic space.  Joined by RNW Media\, CIVICUS\, the University of Gothenburg and the Love Alliance\, we will present why the anti-rights movement is a threat to our democracies\, and give examples of what misinformation and disinformation tactics anti-rights groups are using. We invite you to bring your own lunch and engage! \nAnti-rights groups & dis/misinformation tactics\nCivil society worldwide is under growing pressure from the rising anti-rights movement\, with more outspoken and direct attacks on civic rights\, freedom of expression\, and on democratic values. Actors linked to anti-rights groups are trying to interfere in democratic processes\, and attacking civic freedoms. \nAnti-rights groups continue to win ground by using tactics such as disinformation (spreading deliberately deceiving or misleading information) & intimidation including aggressive litigation to drain resources of civil society organisations\, exploit public funds and influence institutions like the UN and EU to advance regressive agendas. Their tactics\, ranging from spreading false and misleading information to strategic lobbying\, have the potential to polarise public opinion\, erode trust in democratic processes\, and promote extremism. \nWhat to expect?\nIn this brown bag session\, representatives Giovana Fleck (RNW Media)\, Ines Pousadela (CIVICUS) and Post doctoral researcher Haley McEwen (University of Gothenburg) will be interviewed by Aidsfonds on how the anti-rights movement poses a threat to our civic space and democracies. We will explore: \n\nProvide insight into how misinformation and disinformation influence public narratives and are instrumentalised by certain groups.\nWhy it is important to understand the tactics of the anti-rights groups\nHow the anti-rights offense is going beyond attacks on the LGBTIQ+ and women’s rights.\n\nAbout the Partos LNOB Brown Bag sessions\nThis Brown Bag lunch session is the sixth of a series organised by the Partos Leave No One Behind Community of Practice (LNOB) with inspiring presentations on intersectionality and Leave No One Behind in practice. Digest fresh from the shelf\, or yet to be tested\, best practices\, tools\, and approaches that aim to put rights holders in the driving seat and reduce discrimination. \nMissed the first session on the anti-rights movement? Find the summary here. \n	Register Here This link opens in a new tab
