The National African Student Association (NAfSA) and the UN Office of the Special Adviser on Africa have formalized a partnership through the initiative called Africa's Youth Voices (AYV). This global network aims to provide young Africans with access to a multilateral stage, amplifying their voices and bringing their expertise and knowledge of the African context at the center of international policymaking. As participants of this network, NAfSA students have begun conducting policy-based research with hopes that their work can be shared with key stakeholders in charge of the policymaking decisions. If you're a graduate student interested in conducting policy-based research within the research theme of sustainable development for sustainable peace, please reach out to me through the replies and/or DMs! Or you can directly sign up through this form: https://lnkd.in/gJNDQWzA The work has already started and we would love to see everyone participating in shaping Africa's future. I have attached a pdf outlining the details of the AYV network in case anyone is interested in learning more.

This report seeks to enhance understanding and evidence the contribution of the British Council in supporting the aims of Official Development Assistance (ODA). The research investigates, records, and makes explicit how the British Council realises development aims through the practice of Cultural Relations and explains its relevance in good development practice. The report provides seven case studies that exemplify how the portfolio of British Council work supports the achievement of development objectives under the broad ambitions of peace/stability and enhanced prosperity. These case studies cover the range of development outcomes targeted by the British Council and its expertise across its Arts, Culture, English and Education programmes. #culturalrelations #development #sdgs #culturalheritage https://lnkd.in/epv-qbTc

Dialogue Across Difference There is a level on which many people just do not understand that they do not understand each other. At best they assume a level playing field. At worst they think that their way of seeing things is correct and the other is wrong. In the context of the transition from an apartheid to post-apartheid democratic South Africa I developed a framework called “Dialogue Across Difference.” In the South African transition, it was focused on healing in a racial context. It can, however, be used in, amongst others, cultural, national and diversity tensions. How do you dialogue with each other when you do not share the same framework of reference or mindset? How do organizational departments dialogue with each other when they have very different mindsets; for example, marketing, engineering, sales mindsets.  https://lnkd.in/gaGcRVKQ
