📣 New article! “𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴” written by Valérie Gorin, Head of learning at the Geneva Centre of Humanitarian Studies. → https://lnkd.in/ep3cBdsz This article explores the academic development of humanitarian aid from two angles. The first questions its very name (and the value of approaching it as a “study” rather than an “object”). The second examines the boundaries of the field, caught in a constant struggle between the development of critical and reflective thinking about humanitarian aid and the desire to address training needs with and for humanitarian workers. This article was published in our 25th issue "𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀: 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀?". ➡ The issue can be freely accessed on our website, and you can purchase hard copies from our online shop: https://lnkd.in/dg3mF-UN

#Climate change and #environmentaldegradation pose increasing risks to #peaceandsecurity. Wetlands are becoming increasingly degraded. #Waterconflicts are increasing.  Without restoring, conserving, and sustainably using our wetland ecosystems, there can be no inclusive, #sustainabledevelopment. Given the current situation in the Sahel, we believe that wetland ecosystems can play a key role in supporting the EU in addressing the structural causes of Sahelian crises. One set of challenges is to combat the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, which have had a particularly severe impact on the region and have subtly fuelled often violent competition for resources. Another is to strengthen the capacity of governments to respond to the needs of the world's youngest, fastest-growing and poorest populations.  Healthy #wetlands for peace and stability: this is what my colleagues in #Sahel are working on tirelessly. Join our efforts to look at wetlands as the blue lifelines for a secured Sahel. #WetlandPartnerships Tony Agotha Emanuela Claudia Del Re European External Action Service

👥 Building Bridges: Can Interfaith Excursions Promote Dialogue & Understanding? Living in diverse communities, we often know little about each other's traditions. Interfaith excursions to different religious sites offer a way to learn more about one another, promoting understanding and a sense of community. Including personal narrative from individuals of various faiths helps us appreciate their experiences and beliefs, celebrate diversity while emphasizing our shared humanity. This may also contribute to the prevention of conflicts and human rights violations. At the same time, coordinating visits to various religious sites can be challenging due to time constraints, cultural sensitivities, and security considerations. Digital tools like short films offer a practical way to experience different faiths and viewpoints, promoting understanding and interfaith coexistence. The short film ‘Rediscovering Tunis,’ created by Attalaki organization in partnership with the Inclusive Citizenship and Human Rights project, features young Tunisians sharing their experiences and reflections from visiting various religious sites. This gives them the opportunity to engage with not only the majority Sunni Muslim community but also minority communities of Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities in Tunisia. We invite you to watch this video and witness the impactful dialogue facilitated by our youth. Their experiences offer a valuable model for interfaith engagement and highlight the importance of embracing religious diversity. Proud to collaborate with Attalaki! #InterfaithDialogue #YouthEngagement #ReligiousStudies #Tunisia #ReligiousDiversity #Dialogue #DiversityAndInclusion #Attalaki #Diversity #EducationalPlatform #FreedomOfReligion
