General Elections 2019 #BeeKind

November 18, 2019/in News /by Eva Grosman

As we are approaching the General Election 2019, almost every day we see reports of online abuse, bullying, misogyny and hatred.

Families are being threatened, victims of the Troubles re-traumatised and candidates across the political spectrum intimidated.

It is not acceptable. We are launching a small campaign in Northern Ireland as a gentle reminder that even if we disagree about everything, we can still be kind to each other.

TEDxStormontWomen returns to Parliament Buildings in December

September 30, 2019/in News /by Eva Grosman

The TEDWomen 2019 conference will be in December 2019 in Palm Springs, California and we are delighted to join the global TED community and host our local, independently organised TEDxStormontWomen event in Parliament Buildings, Stormont on Thursday, 12 December.

This year’s theme, “Bold + Brilliant,” speaks to the ways in which 2019 is the year to be bold and brilliant – without apology. We will be shining a spotlight on dazzling ideas from some of the world’s most extraordinary risk-takers and innovators and celebrating pioneers making power moves, brilliant people who are just getting started, and those who tirelessly show up as allies and advocates.

And we also want to be BOLD. In a run up to the TEDxStormontWomen, together with our partners, we will deliver special TEDxStormont Masterclass to 500 girls and women across Northern Ireland.

The aim of this cross-community intergenerational capacity building programme for girls and women is to help them to become more confident in public speaking, able to connect with their audiences, develop new ideas and communicate what makes them and their stories unique. The programme will be delivered in partnership between the Centre for Democracy and Peace Building and Bespoke Communications, including Sarah Travers, Camilla Long and a team of expert facilitators.

We find ourselves in a cultural moment of uncertainty as domestic and global challenges persist. Whether it is the cost of living crisis, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, leadership is required more than ever and the importance of peace building critical. This year has been dubbed the year of voting, with more than two billion people heading to the polls in 2024. Quite simply, it is the biggest election year in history. And yet, democracy has never felt so fragile; it seems to be on the ballot itself.
