SUMMARY:Photo Exhibition on "Beyond Tolerance": Living Together with Migrants
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond Tolerance”: Living Together with Migrants \n \nMovements of people within and across borders have become an integral feature of regional integration in the Greater Mekong Sub-region or GMS\, an emerging economic area encompassing the watershed of the Mekong River and comprising Cambodia\, Laos\, Myanmar\, Thailand\, Vietnam and two provinces of southern China —Yunnan and Guangxi. After years of relative in-country isolation\, millions of people have moved from their place of origin to meet their basic needs and to achieve stability for themselves and their families. Estimates in Thailand put the number of migrants from Laos\, Cambodia and Myanmar to more than 3 million\, a majority of them in an undocumented and vulnerable status. \nSince 2003 the main focus of migration policies in Thailand as well as other countries in the region has been to regularize migration flows. However\, little attention has been given to how to integrate migrants into society\, the expectation being that they will only stay temporarily in the receiving country\, Reality\, however differs with migrants building communities. \nliving for long period of times\, often decades\, marrying and having children in the destination country. \nTo devote attention to this neglected\, yet crucial aspect of migration\, the Mekong Migrant Network (MMN) in collaboration with SEA Junction will hold a photo exhibition on 8-16 October at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). The photographs of documentary photographer\, John Hulme\, capture the aspirations and struggles of migrants in destination and home countries and are part of MMN ongoing project entitled ‘Beyond “Tolerance”: Living Together with Migrants’ supported by the Toyota Foundation. \nThe opening event will take place on 8 October at 3pm at Room 501 (5th fl)\, BACC. It includes migrants’ cultural performance as well as a public discussion on migration. A multimedia presentation highlighting the impact of social exclusion of migrants will be also launched at the event. \nSelected photos and the multimedia presentation will later continue to be exhibited at at SEAJunction\, Room 408 (4th fl)\, BACC until 16 October (full day). \nThe final event will take place one day earlier on 15 October at 5:30pm at SEAJunction\, Room 408 (4th fl)\, BACC and will consist of a conversation with the photographer John Hulme on his art and techniques as well as the reasons of his engagement. \nWe hope that the event will help generate broader discussions on what needs to change so that we can go beyond ‘tolerance’\, and rather embrace the presence of migrants in our societies and social\, cultural and economic contribution they bring. \nMore details on these events will be posted on the SEA Junction and MMN homepages in the coming weeks. \n  \nOrganizers: \nMekong Migration Network (MMN) a sub-regional network of civil society organisations working towards protection and promotion of migrants’ rights in the Mekong region (see http://www.mekongmigration.org) \nSEA Junction\, OUR venue to connect on Southeast Asia (see www.seajunction.org) \n

SUMMARY:Peace Studies and Conflict Transformation: Celebrating Diversity for Peace and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:Deadline of Applications: 15 September 2016 \nThe world is culturally\, ethnically\, and politically diverse and pluralistic. It has a rich history of diverse communities living together in harmony; of spirituality alongside secularism; of compassion and fairness; of understanding and tolerance; of hospitality and caring. This would not have been possible without people’s tireless and galactic engagement in the non-violent struggle for social justice and peace. \nHowever\, much of the world has also been the scene of prolific and endemic violent conflicts; from small to large-scale; brief but brutal as well as long and almost perpetual. Many regimes in either democratic or authoritarian have been lawless\, venal and corrupt; servile and docile to hegemonic superpowers; multinational and national corporations who place profit over everything else; and to the proponents of exploitative economic globalization\, from Bretton Woods to Davos. It is against this backdrop that integrated peace education and peacebuilding has been conceived with the goal of promoting a culture of peace. \nTo be able to live in peace is blessing for humanity. Peaceful life and relationship is a quest for the common people. Human being draws inspiration from tradition\, culture\, faith and individualism which makes it important to understand the historical and cultural contexts of peace and appreciate the failed efforts of the past and many practical compromises that have to be made in any negotiation that lead to peace. \nEducation is an effort to bring necessary reform from within and help strengthen their capability to engage with other faith communities and other agents of development in dialogue and joint action for the mutual good of mankind. Advocacy influences policy change in the political\, economic and social dimensions of any society towards the eradication of illiteracy\, social inequality\, and poverty that have bred passivity\, indifference and apathy. \nPeace education is seen as a potential venue for collective self-reflection\, self-actualization and human and social development. As such\, its two-pronged thrust is sustainability and empowerment. Peace education logically should start from family\, community and formal schools. The program strives to embed sustainability in the building of local resources and capacities\, innovative but always wary of technology transfer and modernizing by adopting only that which is essential to human and social development. \nIt is also empowering as it has an end of ultimately enabling and developing self-reliance among the communities. It aims at equipping communities at a grassroots level\, especially those involved in education-for- development with knowledge\, information and skills to deconstruct their situation\, to re-appreciate local history and culture and relate the same to the general situation and history of diverse peoples so that a universal framework and history may be evolved. \nThe pedagogical mission of Peace Education is the movement from a culture of distrust and violence toward a culture of mutual trust and peace. This course offers space for interfaith inter-cultural orientation\, gender perspective and respect for differences of opinion and helps to develop a common ground for collective peace actions. \nSource: https://www.mpiasia.net/allnews/events/17-peace-studies-and-conflict-transformation-celebrating-diversity-for-peace-and-solidarity.html \n
