SUMMARY:Beyond the Headlines: Stories from Ethiopia
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday evening\, July 2\, we warmly invite you to the event “Beyond the Headlines: Stories from Ethiopia”\, organized by the Netherlands Red Cross in collaboration with The Humanity Hub.\nWhat do you know about Ethiopia? And where does that image come from? \nHeadlines often tell stories of crisis and vulnerability. But when you give the young generation of Ethiopia a voice\, you hear something very different. Young people share stories about their passions\, their pride in their country\, and how they overcome challenges. \nDuring the evening\, we will screen a short documentary about this new generation\, who are working every day to create a positive impact in their communities. From volunteering with the Ethiopian Red Cross to building skate parks and organizing skating lessons for girls\, they are taking initiative and strengthening their communities from within. \nDuring the evening\, we will also take a closer look at the work of the Red Cross in Ethiopia\, highlighting how communities are building long-term resilience together. In addition\, the photo exhibition Faces in the Frontline will be on display\, featuring striking portraits of people living with the daily consequences of climate change. \n \n  \nThe evening will offer space for a conversation about how Ethiopia — and Africa more broadly — is often represented in the media and by aid organizations\, and which stories are still underrepresented. \nWe will start at 17:15 with a reception\, including drinks and snacks. The program begins at 17:45. Speaker names can be found in the program below. Follow our social media for updates\, and we hope to see you on July 2! \nParticipation is free\, but space is limited. \nWill you join us?\nReserve your spot now. \nProgram\n17:15 – Doors open\n17:45 – Opening remarks by Derk Segaar (Head of International Assistance\, Netherlands Red Cross)\n18:00 – Screening of two short films about the Red Cross’s work in Ethiopia\n18:20 – Q&A session with Derk Segaar and Placidia Vavirai (Water\, Sanitation and Hygiene Expert\, Ethiopian Red Cross)\n18:40 – Screening of a short documentary about young Ethiopians contributing to their communities\n19:10 – Panel discussion about the documentary\, featuring filmmakers Tommie Fortuin and Babette Schenkels (Netherlands Red Cross)\, and journalist Daaf Borren (author of Continent of the Future and platform The Bright Continent) (final panel composition to be confirmed).\n19:30 – 20:30 – Networking drinks \n  \n	Register now
