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.

Act Svenska kyrkan, Skrivtolkas / Har undertext
Människor som lever i fattigdom, som saknar stabila hus och krishanteringssystem, är mer utsatta för klimatkrisen. Faktorer som kön och ålder, om du har ett handikapp, påverkar också utsattheten. Vad kan göras? Välkommen till ett samtal om klimaträttigheter, rätten till klimatsäkra hus och infrastruktur, samt vad som kan göras för att stärka människors motståndskraft för klimatkrisen. (Samtalet kommer att hållas och textas på svenska).
Who is left behind? - Better data for inclusive development

ForumCiv
The most important commitment in the 2030 Agenda is to ‘leave no one behind’. When available data is visualised, it becomes clear that the possibilities to benefit from progress and enjoy human rights is often dependent on where you live. But available statistics are not always inclusive. Welcome to a discussion on how we improve and use data to make better decisions so that the realisation of human rights is not dependent on where you may live.

Conflict and civil war often affect people within the country differently (with regard to geographical area, if you are a part of a minority, power and money, gender, etc.) and often lead to internally displaced persons. This seminar discusses internally displaced persons/forced relocations with a focus on human security, shrinking democratic space, rights, identity and the path to sustainable peace. The discussion is based on their feminist peace work, with current analyzes and examples in the light of Covid-19 from Colombia and Cameroon respectively.
