SUMMARY:Course: 'Facilitating multi-stakeholder processes and social learning'
DESCRIPTION:Complex problems require innovative solutions. Such solutions are created when diverse stakeholders are able to meet\, share experiences\, learn together and contribute to decisions. Ultimate success then lies in developing the collective commitment and capacity to turn ideas and plans into action. This can be achieved through multi-stakeholder processes (MSPs) and social learning. \n\nUsing participatory approaches for institutional change\nMultiple stakeholders\, multiple interests\nThis course covers state-of-the-art thinking about designing and facilitating MSP’s and social learning. You will learn what an MSP is\, why we need them\, what its key elements are and how to design and facilitate them. Creating MSP’s means finding innovative approaches to work together across boundaries of business\, government and civil society. We will work highly interactive building on participant’s own experiences. You will have discussions\, work on group assignments\, engage in role-plays and undertake fieldwork to explore the real life MSP. You will practice with a wide range of participatory methodologies and tools. The facilitators follow a flexible programme that allows adaptation to specific needs of individuals and the group. \nCourse objectives\nUpon completion of the course you will be able to: \n\nunderstand the concept and rationale of multi-stakeholder processes\, institutional change and social learning;\nanalyse different types of multi-stakeholder processes in terms of the issues at stake\, the stakeholders\, their interests\, power relations\, conflicts\, external contacts\, etc.;\npractice and learn how to use a broad range of participatory methodologies and tools in MSPs;\nhave a good insight in the types of institutional change and support necessary for effective MSPs;\ndesign and plan an extended MSP;\nassess the impact of your  personal style in facilitation\, communication\, leadership and dealing with conflicts.\n\nTarget audience\nWe welcome participants who are involved\, or will be involved in the future\, in the facilitation of multi-stakeholder processes. You may work for an NGO\, government\, private sector organisation\, research facility\, university or consultancy and you are in the challenging position to design\, facilitate or participate in MSP’s. \n\n

SUMMARY:World Food Day (in Dutch)
DESCRIPTION:Wereldvoedseldag 2014\nOp 16 oktober is het Wereldvoedseldag. Om deze dag extra kracht bij te zetten vinden er begin oktober publieksacties plaats door het hele land. Van 1 tot en met 15 oktober zal er elke dag op een andere locatie in Nederland een inspirerend statement worden gemaakt voor een beter voedselsysteem wereldwijd. In de afgelopen maand kon iedereen in heel Nederland\, van stichting tot enthousiasteling\, zijn idee indienen. Een jury bestaande uit FoodGuerrilla\, Economische Zaken\, en Oxfam Novib selecteerde de beste vijftien inzendingen.\n \nWaarom deze acties?\nSteeds meer beseffen we ons dat we problemen in ons voedselsysteem aan moeten pakken door samen te werken. Ook beginnen we steeds vaker in te zien hoe groot het effect is van de manier waarop wij hier omgaan met voedsel in andere delen van de wereld. Tijd dus om aan de Nederlanders te vragen welke statement zij willen maken voor goed voedsel. \nDe jury bestaande uit afgevaardigden van Ministerie van Economische Zaken\, Oxfam Novib en FoodGuerrilla hebben een flinke hoeveelheid inzendingen beoordeeld op een aantal punten\, zoals ‘zit er een mondiaal aspect in? en ‘is de actie toegankelijk voor een groot publiek?’. Het was moeilijk kiezen\, maar uiteindelijk is de jury tot een besluit gekomen! \nMeer informatie over deze projecten vindt je op de website van Wereldvoedseldag 2014. \n

SUMMARY:World Food Day on Family Farming
DESCRIPTION:World Food Day was first held on 16 Oct 1981. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations marks World Food Day each year on 16 October\, the day on which the Organization was founded in 1945. \nThe UN General Assembly has designated 2014 “International Year of Family Farming.” This is a strong signal that the international community recognizes the important contribution of family farmers to world food security. \nThe 2014 World Food Day theme – Family Farming: “Feeding the world\, caring for the earth” – has been chosen to raise the profile of family farming and smallholder farmers. It focuses world attention on the significant role of family farming in eradicating hunger and poverty\, providing food security and nutrition\, improving livelihoods\, managing natural resources\, protecting the environment\, and achieving sustainable development\, in particular in rural areas. \n

Tijdens EAT THIS! kan je luisteren naar inspirerende sprekers\, meepraten in onze live Food Radio Show\, wereldse happen eten bij de foodstands\, campagne leren voeren en met je voetjes van de vloer tijdens een dik tropisch feestje! EAT THAT! \nEen kaartje voor EAT THIS! kost €12\,50 (CJP €10\,-) en is inclusief diner + feest.\nNeem een kijkje op de website van EAT THIS! om tickets te bestellen en voor meer informatie over het programma. \nLees meer over de achtergrond van Wereldvoedseldag. \n� \n
