It will be held on 22-23 May 2017 at the UN Headquarters\, Conference Room 9. \n\nA Closed-Door Dialogue and Focus Group \nThis year\, in partnership with the British Council and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations -­‐ as Lead for the UN Interagency Task Force on Religion and Development -­‐ the Civic Approaches to Conflict in the Muslim World Initiative at Georgia State University will convene leaders in the humanitarian and development sectors. The discussion will consider ways that the Muslim development and aid sector can be more robustly engaged to address the shared challenges facing the international community. In doing so we also aim to build trust and share knowledge between non-government\, faith-based actors working with American\, European and Middle Eastern policymakers. \nUnder the auspices of the Civic Approaches framework\, we have explored the ways in which civil society organizations and networks in Muslim societies have mitigated\, prevented\, or helped stabilized various forms of conflict and violence. Our focus groups and case studies have investigated topics such as the Syrian refugee crisis\, Islamic sectarian violence\, and radicalization. Our recently published report\, Civic Approaches to Confronting Violent Extremism\, is a good representation of the kind of sector- wide research we produce. \nThe meeting in NYC is a continuation of smaller focus groups conducted last year in Istanbul\, Washington D.C.\, and Brussels. We believe that your experience with the issues we are exploring\, especially in your role with the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Engaging Faith-Based Organizations for Development\, will add tremendous depth to the discussion and the final report to be published in August 2017. \n\nConcept Note \nDownload (PDF\, 224KB) URL:https://www.unaoc.org/event/workshop-muslim-humanitarian-and-development-organizations-in-and-around-conflict-zones/ LOCATION:UN Headquarters\, Conference Room 9\, United Nations\, New York\, NY\, 10017\, United States CATEGORIES:UNAOC Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20170419T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20170419T173000 DTSTAMP:20260427T074552 CREATED:20170320T140025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170324T192356Z UID:20395-1492614000-1492623000@www.unaoc.org SUMMARY:UNAOC Group of Friends Meeting DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) will be holding its next Group of Friends Meeting (Ambassadorial level) on 19 April 2017\, from 3:00 to 5:30 pm\, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York\, Conference Room 2. \n Download the Agenda Download the Programme \nDownload (PDF\, 516KB) \n\nDownload (PDF\, 517KB) URL:https://www.unaoc.org/event/group-of-friends-meeting-2017/ LOCATION:UN Headquarters\, Conference Room 2\, United Nations Headquarters\, New York\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Group of Friends Meeting,UNAOC Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20170320T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20170320T163000 DTSTAMP:20260427T074553 CREATED:20170307T203750Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170324T192622Z UID:20313-1490022000-1490027400@www.unaoc.org SUMMARY:Preventative Diplomacy: A Soft Power Tool (Closed Event.
