نادًا إلى النتائج الرئيسية لأبحاث مركز العلوم الاجتماعية للأبحاث التطبيقية (تقرير، وموجز للسياسات، ورسم بياني)، تهدف الندوة، من جهة، إلى مناقشة تأثير الأنظمة القديمة والمعزولة التي أعاقت الاستجابة الفعّالة للأزمات. من جهة أخرى، ستتطرّق الجلسة أيضًا إلى آثار نظام الحماية الاجتماعية الموحّد الذي يضمن حصول الجميع دون استثناء على العدالة الاجتماعية، وكيف يمكن لنظام الحماية الاجتماعية الشامل أن يدعم بناء الدولة في نهاية المطاف.

In this 2-hour online-session we will discuss the signs of conflict escalation and what makes it difficult to act. We will also share tips on how to de-escalate in different situations. And we will look at how to take care of ourselves and others during (or after) such incidents. This can also mean letting go of self-judgements about how we ‘should have reacted’.
During this roundtable, Dr. Michele Scala will present the Centre for Social Sciences Research & Action ongoing work on social protection in Lebanon, analysing the articulation of intersectional discriminations and privileges of the current social protection framework, and proposing ways forward for reform. Participants will be invited to discuss the findings and share their insights.
