I'm happy to see my article back from 2020 featured on the first page of UNDP's resources for Online Community Engagement for PVE. If you're planning on organising online community engagement activities (especially for PVE/ Peacebuilding), the article provides some recommendations to ensure equitable and effective participation.

2024, we aspire to travel and trek more intensively, widen our community outreach and contribute as well as strengthen public discourse. All our work is drawn from a sense of belonging and purpose, peace, empathy and love we receive from our deep community bonding. This year, together with grassroots interventions and community stakeholders, local civic and professional leadership, we would diversify our work, integrate digital platforms effectively, focus on economics of scale, setting up of more independent rural enterprises and would advocate on direct access to information, markets and resources, and most importantly direct representation by people across all platforms. We shared the premise of our work and the reason behind community-led interventions - how these help discover and uplift individual voices. By the way of sharing many experiences working in communities, we expressed how a human condition varies with demographics, how important it is to look at a human situation, factoring other basic and necessary life dimensions as well. And, how with a stable source of family income, impact of vulnerability is reduced. Therefore, a social cause is better defined through public discourse, involving broader citizenry.

The council promotes interaction through forums, meetings, and other media for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions. Each constituent member organization determines its own strategic direction and program agenda. Today, the primary purpose and focus of member organizations remains camaraderie and academic excellence for its members and service to the communities they serve. Each promotes community awareness and action through educational, economic, and cultural service activities. #blackmenspeakpodcast #africanamericanhistory #americanhistory

I'm on a panel at this forum next week, to talk about how we deal with the risk of modern slavery in renewable energy supply chains. As the forum will show, this is not a challenge unique to renewable energy, but our industry needs to be part of a solution to this global problem. Looking forward to the discussion.

With the growing challenges for democracy worldwide, it is very important to promote youth civic engagement and improve youth participation in policy making and decision making processes.

As major part of Sustainable Development Goals, Youth civic engagement can lead to a sustainable youth leadership.

In a polarized world, where the public square has become increasingly hostile, how do we continue to make progress on the things we are called to build? Join us as Baroness Philippa Stroud identifies the steps needed to renew culture, starting with healthy institutions. Drawing on her work with the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, Stroud will discuss how policymakers can foster changes in society that ensure that citizens can take hold of the opportunities in front of them and develop the personal resilience to serve over decades.
