SUMMARY:Peace Finance Workshop 1 - From Principles to Practice
DESCRIPTION:About this session\nThis two-hour workshop takes forward the Humanity Hub’s Investing in Peace initiative by introducing the principles and practice of Peace Finance – exploring how finance\, innovation\, and collaboration can actively strengthen peace and resilience. \n  \nPeace Finance starts from a simple idea: every financial or organisational decision affects trust\, inclusion\, and stability. While some organisations work in fragile or conflict-affected settings\, others focus on inequality\, governance\, human rights\, or social innovation – all of which influence how societies sustain stability and inclusion. Peace-positive investments put this principle into practice: they seek not only financial or developmental returns but also measurable contributions to cooperation\, legitimacy\, and resilience in the communities they touch. \n  \nThrough short examples and guided discussion\, participants will explore how these ideas can translate into practical approaches for reducing risk\, strengthening legitimacy\, and unlocking new forms of partnership. \n\nLed by practitioners: Hear directly from professionals applying Peace Finance in practice – from fund design and social enterprise to governance and impact innovation.\nInteractive and applied: Work through real examples\, group discussions\, and short design challenges that turn abstract concepts into concrete tools.\nA first step in a series: This workshop marks the beginning of a broader learning journey on Peace Finance\, with future sessions offering opportunities for deeper exchange\, co-creation\, and practice.\n\n  \nWhy this workshop\nPeace Finance provides a way to connect financial and development choices with the conditions that make societies more stable\, inclusive\, and resilient. As the boundaries between finance\, innovation\, and peacebuilding continue to blur\, organisations in every sector face new opportunities – and responsibilities – to align their decisions with peace-positive outcomes. \nThis workshop offers an accessible starting point to that conversation\, inviting participants from across civil society\, policy\, innovation\, and finance to explore together how their work can contribute to long-term stability and shared prosperity. \n  \nWho is this workshop for?\n\nCivil-society organisations\, NGOs & INGOs – strengthening inclusion\, accountability\, and social impact through collaborative\, locally grounded approaches.\nInnovators & PeaceTech professionals – exploring how digital tools\, data\, and new business models can enhance transparency\, participation\, and trust.\nPeacebuilding & development practitioners – linking programmatic work to investment opportunities that build resilience and reduce fragility.\nPolicy & governance advisers – integrating peace considerations into national\, local\, or corporate decision-making frameworks.\nImpact & finance actors – from donors and DFIs to ESG investors\, looking for strategies that de-risk operations and connect capital flows with long-term stability.\n\n  \n	Register your attendance online This link opens in a new tab\n	 	Register your attendance in-person This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Just Peace Dialogue: Stemmen uit de stad
DESCRIPTION:Dit is een Nederlandstalig evenement/This event will be held in Dutch. \nDe wereld verandert snel\, en daarmee ook de manier waarop we samenleven. Verkiezingen komen eraan\, en dat zal ook zijn gevolgen hebben voor Den Haag. Democratische instituties\, internationaal recht\, het maatschappelijk middenveld en mensenrechten staan wereldwijd – en in toenemende mate ook in Nederland – onder druk. Vrijheden en rechten worden beproefd en tegelijkertijd neemt de polarisatie in onze samenleving toe.  Daardoor lijkt het soms makkelijker om in tegenstellingen te denken. Juist om die reden neemt de behoefte aan verbinding en samenwerking toe. Niet afwachten\, maar zelf het initiatief nemen. Dit brengt ons bij de onvermijdelijke vraag: Wat kunnen wij als burgers doen? \n  \nTijdens deze Just Peace Dialoog\, in samenwerking met Oxfam Novib\, gaan bewoners van Den Haag – van studenten en buurtorganisatoren tot activisten en beleidsmakers – met elkaar in gesprek over hoe we onze stem laten horen\, onze waarden uitdragen en samen verandering in gang zetten. Daarbij onderzoeken we thema’s als: \n  \nWelke druk ervaren we vandaag en hoe is dat in de afgelopen jaren veranderd? Kunnen we daar samen iets aan doen?  \nHoe werkt polarisatie\, wat kan ertegenover staan\, en hoe gaan we om met meningsverschillen zonder de dialoog te verliezen?  \nWat gebeurt er als we protesteren en wat werkt wel of niet bij het creëren van maatschappelijke bewustwording?  \nHoe organiseren we ons effectief op een kleinere\, lokale schaal?  \n  \nWe verkennen hoe lokale initiatieven in de politieke stad Den Haag en daarbuiten bijdragen aan een hechtere en veerkrachtige samenleving. Hoe we verbondenheid en vertrouwen kunnen versterken. En hoe iedereen\, vanuit zijn of haar eigen plek\, kan bijdragen aan een échte Stad van Vrede en Recht. \n  \nTijdens deze dialoog gaan we in gesprek met een panel van experts en betrokken burgers op het gebied van burgerparticipatie en sociale veerkracht. Manon Tiessink (Coalitie Schilderswijk)\, Yussuf Abdi (Hijaz Community) en Fakiha Ahmed (Oxfam Novib) komen hun inzichten en expertise met ons delen. Daarna wordt het gesprek opengesteld voor iedereen: van activisten en maatschappelijke organisaties tot journalisten\, beleidsmakers\, onderzoekers\, jongeren en betrokken burgers. De kracht ligt juist in een respectvolle en open uitwisseling van verschillende perspectieven\, die kan leiden tot meer wederzijds begrip en het ontstaan van nieuwe oplossingen. \n  \n	Hier registreren This link opens in a new tab\n	\n  \nOver de sprekers\nManon Tiessink\n \nManon woont en werkt in de beruchte maar zeer geliefde Schilderswijk in Den Haag. Ze begon als vrijwilliger\, maar omarmde al snel radicale participatie: het beheren van gemeenschapsruimtes\, het herverdelen van middelen en het vormgeven van besluiten. Van het samen met bewoners beheren van buurthuizen en tuinen\, tot het opbouwen van een grassroots-coalitie in de Schilderswijk en het oprichten van een wijkcoöperatie — zij zet zich volledig in voor gemeenschapskracht en verandering van onderop. \n\nFakiha Ahmed\n \nFakiha Ahmed is expert burgerrechten bij Oxfam Novib. Met een achtergrond in Peace and Conflict Studies en met ruime ervaring bij internationale organisaties\, richt zij zich op mensenrechten en gelijkheid\, en brengt beleid en maatschappelijke dialoog samen om verandering te bevorderen. \n\nYussuf Abdi\n \nJurist en oprichter van Abdi Juristen en Lotus Legal BV. Actief in de Hijaz-gemeenschap in Den Haag\, waar hij recht en compassie verbindt. Gelooft dat echte vrede begint bij rechtvaardigheid in het dagelijks leven. \n  \n  \nJust Peace Open Dag 2025\nDen Haag staat wereldwijd bekend als de ‘Internationale Stad van Vrede & Recht’\, en bijna elk monumentaal gebouw in de stad speelt een rol in het bouwen aan een rechtvaardiger en vreedzamer wereld. \n  \nVan het Vredespaleis tot het Internationaal Strafhof\, van het Internationaal Strafhof van de VN tot het Nationaal Monument Oranjehotel\, de straten van Den Haag ademen geschiedenis! Maar wat gebeurt er eigenlijk elke dag achter die grote deuren? En hoe helpen mensen die in Den Haag werken de wereld beter en eerlijker te maken? Daarom is er de Just Peace Open Dag om daar achter te komen! \n  \nVoor één speciale zondag\, rond de Internationale Dag van de Vrede\, in september openen Just Peace Den Haag en meer dan 20 partners hun deuren voor jou om een kijkje achter de schermen te nemen en verhalen te horen van de mensen en de geschiedenis van elke instelling. \n  \nPrivacyverklaring\nThe Hague Humanity Hub verzamelt je naam\, e-mailadres en (indien opgegeven) je organisatie wanneer je je registreert voor evenementen.

SUMMARY:The Handshake with Mette Gonggrijp
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special edition of The Handshake\, our interactive event series connecting aspiring changemakers with experienced professionals in the peace & justice and “for good” sectors. This edition is presented in partnership with the Move 4 Human Rights Summer Edition. A limited number of seats have been opened up for the public—register soon to secure your spot! \nWe are thrilled to welcome Mette Gonggrijp\, former Dutch Ambassador\, leadership coach\, and founder of IMind2Lead\, to share her personal and professional journey. \nWhether you’re a student\, a young professional\, or considering a career shift\, this is your opportunity to: \n\nHear Mette’s inspiring story of diplomacy\, resilience\, and reinvention\nExplore careers in international relations\, leadership\, mental health\, and social entrepreneurship\nAsk your burning questions in an open Q&A\nConnect with like-minded peers and professionals\n\n“My journey has taught me that as leaders we can achieve more meaningful impact in the world by staying whole\, open and healthy” – Mette Gonggrijp \nIntroducing Mette\nMette Gonggrijp has been a Dutch diplomat and ambassador for over two decades. She served at the Dutch Embassies in Zimbabwe and Costa Rica (including Honduras\, El Salvador\, Guatemala and Nicaragua). She has been posted at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague as Director Sub-Sahara Africa and Ambassador Women’s Rights and Gender Equality. \nHer grandfathers’ resistance activities during WOII and his subsequent experiences as Prisoner of War have motivated Mette throughout her educational and professional career. She chose to focus her Master European Public Administration on international relations and international law. Internships at the Stockholm Peace Research Institute\, Asser Institute for International Law and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) led her to apply for the diplomatic training course in 1998. \nHer commitment to human rights and human dignity for all inspired her to consistently seek positions at Dutch MFA in the field of governance\, human rights\, social justice and international cooperation. When Mette resigned from MFA in 2022\, she had been working zealously in leadership positions for over 10 years. Known for being a ‘modern leader’ within the diplomatic service\, her leadership style had been characterised by a drive to foster thriving teams that realise true differences for others in the world. \nMette’s resignation from MFA followed the manifestation of unacknowledged complex (intergenerational) trauma. Drawing from her personal healing journey and her diplomatic career\, she founded the social enterprise IMind2Lead in 2022. Her recent education in coaching\, trauma\, mental health and well-being at Standford and NICABM have deepened her understanding and commitment. Mette’s belief is that the current uncertain\, polarised and complex world needs a different kind of leadership. Leadership that is being practised from a healthy\, open and conscious mind/body/heart congruence. With IMind2Lead through coaching and community she has been passionately guiding ngo\, public\, diplomatic and corporate mission-driven leaders towards ‘whole leadership’ for change. \nWhat is The Handshake?\nA career inspiration series spotlighting leading voices in peace the justice ecosystem. Through honest conversations and personal stories\, The Handshake offers an inside look at real career journeys\, beyond titles and job descriptions. \nParticipants can engage directly\, asking their pressing questions about career journeys\, field developments\, and the key skills needed for future professionals. For those who find the peace and justice sector daunting or do not know where to begin\, these conversations provide practical insights and help set realistic expectations for entering the field. \nRead about previous editions of The Handshake here \n	Register Here This link opens in a new tab
