Humanium Metal – turning guns into peace
Individuell Människohjälp, Jacqueline Duerre
Tuesday April 20, 2021 11:00 - 11:30 Globala scenen
IM - Individuell Människohjälp
What have guns to do with human rights? And how can we overcome the danger they pose to sustainable development and equal rights for all? Learn more about IMs groundbreaking work on tackling one of the root causes endangering peoples’ lives and livelihoods by using a circular business model that turns a commodity of killing into a commodity for peace. The presentation will be held in English and there will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage with IM in both English and Swedish afterwards.
This place has meaning: Heritage as a method for changing communities
Adam Norman, Tina Lindström, Gulshera Khan, Mildred Ayere
Wednesday April 21, 2021 12:30 - 13:30 5
Kalmar läns museum
Cultural heritage can be used to maintain structural discrimination. In this seminar, Kalmar County Museum instead will highlight the positive power of cultural heritage for the development of society. With examples from collaborative projects from i.e. South Africa and Kenya we show how place, cultural heritage and human rights together can create room for reflection and positive change in issues related to land ownership, xenophobia and racism.
Seminariet livesändes och är ännu inte tillgängligt att se i efterhand.
