Standing together: what can we learn from the Jewish Arab grassroots peace movement?

Language: English
Time: 17:00 – 19:00
Location: REC (exact location tbd)

Standing Together is the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel, founded in 2015. Their goal is to unite Israeli and Palestinian people without erasing their differences. Standing Together opposes the occupation of Palestinian land and acknowledges that safety is essential for both groups. They stand against ultranationalist campaigns from both Israel and Hamas, offering a radical vision of cooperation and unity. Standing Together aims to create an alternative to the current reality. We will discuss with Standing Together how different groups in Israel and Palestine handle the wide range of opinions and feelings that exist. Sign upExternal link

The impact of a hardening society on diversity work

Language: English
Time: 20:00 – 21:45
Location: REC de Brug

The field of diversity, inclusion, and equality (DIG) has gained momentum in recent years. Organisations and companies have increasingly invested in staff, activities, and policies. This development has many benefits, but they are not always recognised or appreciated by everyone. With the changing political climate, societal hardening, and unrest, it's not guaranteed that DIG initiatives will continue to have a place in the workplace. Therefore, the CDO is organising an event to discuss the dilemmas within the field. Sign upExternal link
