There are currently three open spots in this year’s Caux Scholars Programme, which will take place in Indonesia from May 27 to June 18. The program is for youth between 18-35. The program focuses on narratives and power dynamics, justice and trauma, and conflict transformation. I had the chance to participate last year in Brazil and it was mind-blowing! It is fully sponsored by Initiatives of Change USA, covering tuition, accommodation in Bandung, and all meals throughout the program. Please note that airfare and travel-related expenses are not covered. Participants are responsible for arranging and funding their own travel to Bandung, including visa fees and personal expenses. You can find more information here: https://cauxscholars.org/ If you’re interested in applying, let @Ines Mokdadi know so I can inform the academic director and share the application link with you. If you have any questions, let me know! Thanks ❤️

The 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡, a major UN-backed initiative co-constructed with UN agencies, civil society, unions, and academic experts who have been collaborating since 2024 to identify proposals that can achieve social progress and wellbeing without relying on perpetual economic growth. Once finalised, the Roadmap will offer a catalogue of concrete policy measures that governments, international agencies, and other stakeholders can implement that place human rights, care, and well-being at the centre of the economy, while respecting planetary boundaries. Roadmap policies fall under five pillars, with democratic planning and governance underpinning them all: 1. Transforming economic systems 2. Labour, care and economic democracy 3. Universal basic services and social protection 4. Ecological justice 5. Transforming the international economic order - The Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth (advance copy) Olivier De Schutter the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights

I picked this card the other day, from Vanessa Jane Smith’s pack of Be the Change cards. I am feeling curious about what helps you bring about the kidfulness in you and what elevates your curiosity? https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-jane-smith-50a10820/

What if your ability to repair a relationship is a direct reflection of your inner development? When something breaks between you and someone else—tension, misunderstanding, disappointment—what shows up first: defensiveness, avoidance, or curiosity? And more importantly… What does your response reveal about your capacity for self-awareness, ownership, and growth? Every week we host a skill builder - this week April 21 at 18.00, see our calendar for the link and look forward to learning with you.
