ROUNDABOUTS
Partnering with Young People in crisis contexts
The world is younger than ever before. 9 out of 10 young people live in less developed countries where they are confronted with unprecedented social, economic, and cultural shifts and challenges that impede their ability to contribute to growth and stability. Young people have long been underserved and misunderstood. Displacement and conflict only increases their risk, invisibility and isolation. We are inspired by the potential of young people and committed to partnering with them to create a better world for themselves and their communities. Mercy Corps currently works with young people across 30 countries helping them cope during crisis, adapt to adversity and drive forward development. Join our Roundabout to learn more and discuss the critical role of young people in crisis contexts.
Beyond Borders: The Power of Internationalization at Home in Higher Education
Developing an international mindset doesn’t have to mean taking a trip abroad. Often some of the most powerful global learning opportunities can take place right in your own backyard! At Inholland University of Applied Sciences, “internationalization at home” is a key component of our educational strategy, one that centers on accessibility and broadening the scope of what is possible within our formal and informal curriculums. Join us for an exploration of what internationalization at home looks like within our university and a lively discussion about how we can forge more meaningful connections between university students and the diaspora communities, cultural organizations, businesses and other stakeholders who form our international community right here in the Hague.
Genuine North-South peer-to-peer learning
This is an important topic for The Hague Academy as we often bring together governance practitioners from the Netherlands and from the ‘developing’ world, and try to create fruitful peer-to-peer exchanges between them. There are a number of challenges in facilitating such dialogue, such as complex power relations, a lack of understanding of each other’s contexts, either party may lack an open learning attitude towards the other, etc.
World Peace and Security Project
Proposed content would be: a chat with youth campaigners from WYCJ, peace and justice activists from HPP and a strategic advocacy consultant for NGOs on how we intend to bring the world to The Hague as actors within The Hague from the World.

PREVIOUS EDITIONS
where now for climate justice
peace&justice café
For the second edition on November 30, we discussed where we go now in the search for climate justice after COP26. What were the outcomes of #cop26? Did this ‘historic opportunity’ mean that we that we will be able to keep the temperature of the planet under control and limit its increase to 1.5 degrees? Are the promises that governments made on producing less carbon going to reverse the trends?

touching base in a shifting world
peace&justice café launch event
For the first edition on June 15, we exclusively spotlighted (Hague-based) female leaders to share their perspectives on how the(ir) world has been shifting. The recent and sustained global upheavals have uprooted societies, disrupted ways of working, and exacerbated systemic inequalities and injustices. How can the Hague community of professionals respond and navigate this shift together?
