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.
Drawing on key findings from CeSSRA’s research (report, policy brief, and infographic), the webinar aims to discuss, on the one hand, how outdated, siloed systems have hindered effective crisis response. On the other, the session will also unpack the broader social justice implications of a unified system that ensures no one is left behind, and ultimately how a universal social protection system can support state-building.

سنُناقِش بشكلٍ نقدي كيف أنَّ النظام المشرذم الظرفيّ والقائم على الاشتراكات يُوفِّر المساعدة الاجتماعية في موازاة التصنيف على أساس الهوية والطبقة والانتماءات السياسية والعرقية، ما يُفسح بالمجال أمام آليات الإقصاء.
ختامًا، ستبحث الندوة في كيفية الانتقال من النهج القائم على المساعدات ذات...
In this 3-hour online-session we will focus on our own feelings and needs. We will try to understand what keeps us from addressing the person and why we might not be able to just close this chapter. We can learn how to deal with our emotions involved and get clarity about our needs and next steps. This session can give us insights that make it much easier to approach the other person. Or it might even happen that after this session you don’t feel the need to address the issue with the other person anymore because you have ‘sorted this out’ in yourself.
