This event, co-hosted by The Five Foundation and UNFPA's London Office celebrates the power of grassroots activism and strengthening partnerships to reach our common goal of ending female genital mutilation (FGM) by 2030. The event includes remarks by the UK Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, UNFPA Deputy Executive Director, Diene Keita, and a conversation with grassroots activists and global coordinators working together to end FGM, hosted by actor and activist Pearl Mackie.

As we grow older, our lifestyles change and, as a result, we transition from one house to the next. Often this means leaving a community where we've formed strong bonds and living farther from friends and family. What if there was a way to stay rooted in one place through all stages of life? What would this type of home look like?

Studio North co-founders Mark Erickson and Matthew Kennedy first met during a university art class in Calgary and lived across the street from each other during their graduate degrees at Dalhousie. That proximity led to their partnership as an interdisciplinary design and build practice is appropriate, as all of their projects since then have focused on community. Their work recognizes the spaces we inhabit inform the way we live our lives. Believing design can lead to better lives, this duo has created dozens of installations that ask new questions of old practices.
Erickson has worked in architectural offices in London, UK, Vancouver, and Halifax, and taught architectural technology at the Bachelor of Community Building and Design (BCBD) program at the University of The Gambia, Banjul, West Africa. Working internationally has helped broaden his understanding of how architecture is shaped according to culture, climate, geography, and ways of living.

Kennedy’s passion for design connects landscape, community, and the process of making. His ambitious nature as a designer, artist, and maker has driven him to realize projects of a variety of scales across Canada. His process of designing and making facilitate a logical process of composing ideas into built works. In 2011 he was awarded the Rossetti Travel Fellowship to travel to Japan and research compact housing typologies. His architectural thesis focused on developing a strategy for laneway housing in Calgary’s inner city communities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

On Monday 18th May, we welcomed Professor Lauren Stewart, Goldsmiths, with her lecture ‘A Community Based Singing for Perinatal Mental Health in The Gambia: Developing and Trialling an Intervention’. Perinatal mental health problems affect up to 1 in 5 women worldwide and affect not only the mother but can also have long-term adverse effects on her child. It is thus of high priority to develop new low-cost, low-resource, non-stigmatising and culturally appropriate approaches to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression perinatally. This presentation relates to a current GCRF funded study investigating how a culturally embedded group singing intervention could be beneficial in alleviating perinatal mental distress in The Gambia. Pregnant women in the intervention participated in weekly singing sessions, led by local ‘Kanyeleng’ singing groups, for six weeks while the control group received standard care. Symptoms of anxiety and depression were measured using self-report questionnaires.

This webinar is part of the AIMES, Earth Commission, Future Earth, WCRP Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity, and partners discussion series on tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system.
The event included two presentations:

► Kris Ebi (University of Washington): Climate tipping-related health impacts and risks
► Sir Andy Haines (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine): Climate change and health: tipping points for impacts and action

The webinar was moderated by Tolullah Oni (University of Cambridge)

Accor is one of the many hospitality companies that has felt the heavy impact of COVID-19.

Find out how the hotel giant has modified its development and growth strategy to come out of the pandemic a stronger and more resilient company, and what this means for Accor’s future plans in the APAC region.

As in other parts of the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on Africa, not only in the realm of health, but in the areas of peace, security, democracy, economy, and international relations. The Wilson Center Africa Program will host the 2021 Southern Voices Network for Peacebuilding (SVNP) Virtual Annual Conference, “The Political Economy of Democracy and Peacebuilding in Africa in the COVID-19 Era,” from July 19-23, 2021. This conference will assess the impact of COVID-19 on democracy and peacebuilding in Africa, examine the crosscutting roles of gender, youth, technology, non-state actors, and international stakeholders on these issues, identify some of the challenges posed and opportunities created by the pandemic, and explore the way forward for U.S.-Africa relations in the COVID-19 era. The conference will also discuss best practices, concrete recommendations, and policy options for addressing challenges and strengthening democracy and peacebuilding in Africa.

The conference will feature a series of events that will include African and U.S. policymakers, practitioners, international stakeholders, and experts, and African heads of organizations and senior leaders from the SVNP.

An initiative of The African Government stakeholders engagement forum convened in partnership with The Just Ibe company, The Association of African Startups and Arielle for Africa Ltd.

Volunteer holidays and ethical gap years are a staple feature of university life and broadsheet travel supplements, and have become a rite of passage for ambitious young people with altruistic intent. Yet this holiday humanitarianism is met with varying degrees of cynicism from many: tourists are often regarded as naïve, patronising or more interested in saving their own guilty Western consciences than genuinely helping people. Some even argue they are complicit in a new colonialism, which has been dubbed ‘the white tourist’s burden’. It has been claimed that volunteer tourism’s focus on small-scale projects like digging wells and building compost toilets may be responsible for setting low horizons and stymieing the development that is needed in poorer parts of the world. Is volunteer tourism driven as much by a quest for adventure and personal growth as it is by altruism? And if so, is that a problem?

The speakers are Jim Butcher, reader in geography of tourism at Canterbury Christ Church University and co-author of ‘Volunteer Tourism: the lifestyle politics of international development’, Harold Goodwin, professor of responsible tourism at Manchester Metropolitan University, Anna Mdee, research fellow at the Overseas Development Institute. The panel is chaired by Peter Smith, director of tourism at St Mary’s University College, Twickenham, and co-author of ‘Volunteer Tourism: the lifestyle politics of international development.’
