Kati Hankovszky about community building. In today’s episode, we talk with Katalin Hankovszky, Solution Focused trainer and coach, chair of the Swiss Network for Solution Focused Work, organizer of many Solution Focused conferences, and member of the SolutionSurfers, about how she is connecting people. Find out more about what fascinates her about Solution Focus, her Solution Focused journey and how she began to do the work her way. Kati tells stories about their SF-way of organizing the SOLWorld-conference 2005 in Interlaken, how they dealt with „troubles“ while organizing this year’s SOLWorld-conference in Budapest, and her best hopes from bringing people together, building SF networks, translating SF books, and encouraging SF exchange. Hear what she would like to see more of in the SF communities she is in, her transforming work inside organizations, like e.g. her work as Chair the Swiss Network for Solution Focused Work, and what she learned from her work of connecting people for her work in and with organizations. Learn how she is checking for the attractiveness of what people want to do, to foster the sustainability of their engagement. Let yourself inspire by their teamwork and how they managed for the right people to show up at the right time, and how she is going with her full energy for what she wishes for and enjoying what she gets. And do the Challenge of the week: „Think who you really want to do a task together with and tell them. If you have to do this task with someone else, be grateful for exactly the people you are doing it with.“ The post SFP 62 – Connecting People: How do you do it? with Kati Hankovszky appeared first on SF on tour.

Date of Recording: 14/05/2019 Description: Why do international peacebuilding organizations sometimes succeed and sometimes fail, even within the same country? Bridging the gaps between the peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and global governance scholarship, this book argues that international peacebuilding organizations repeatedly fail because they are accountable to global actors, not to local institutions or people. International peacebuilding organizations can succeed only when country-based staff bypass existing accountability structures and empower local stakeholders to hold their global organizations accountable for achieving local-level peacebuilding outcomes. In other words, the innovative, if seemingly wayward, actions of individual country-office staff are necessary to improve peacebuilding performance. Using in-depth studies of organizations operating in Burundi over a fifteen-year period, combined with fieldwork in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nepal, South Sudan, and Sudan, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of international relations, African studies, and peace and conflict studies as well as policymakers. Speaker Bio: Susanna P. Campbell is an Assistant Professor at American University’s School of International Service. Prof. Campbell’s research and teaching address war-to-peace transitions, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, international development and humanitarian aid, global governance, IO and INGO behaviour, and the micro-dynamics of civil war and peace. She uses mixed-method research designs and has conducted extensive fieldwork in conflict-affected countries, including Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, Sudan, South Sudan, and Timor-Leste. She has received numerous grants for her research, including from the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Folke Bernadotte Academy, the Swiss Network for International Studies, and the United States Institute of Peace. She is currently finishing her second book, Aiding Peace? Donor Behavior in Conflict-Affected Countries. She has also published peer-reviewed articles in International Studies Revi.

Sébastien Vernieuwe about Luc Isebaert’s legacy. In today’s episode, we talk with Sébastien Vernieuwe of the Korzybski Institute in Bruges (Belgium), about Dr. Luc Isebaert’s “Three Questions for a Good Life”. Check out what fascinates Sébastien with Solution Focus, how he trained Solution Focus, and how this changed his practice. Get to know the ideas and the development of the “Three Questions for a Good Life” and the Bruges Model that integrates the greek classics with the Ethos, the Pathos, the Logos, and the Oikos. Listen how they chose „happiness“ and „gratefulness“ as topics for the 3 questions and learn more about the social media campaign „3 Questions on 3 May“ and Sébastien’s best hopes from the challenge. And we go out and ask participants of the conference of the Swiss Network for Solution Focused Work (NLA) about the differences these questions make for them. Check out what Katalin Hankovszky, Regula Flury-Wahlen, Dr. med. Ursula Bühlmann, Dr. Sandro Vicini, Sandra Dietrich, and Andy Balmer say and do the Challenge of the week: Try out the “Three Questions for a Good Life” and share your experiences with us in the comments section of this podcast episode (www.sfontour.com/simplyfocuspodcast).

Australia currently holds or has contracted other countries to hold 3,052 people in immigration detention, including 50 children in Nauru (data from end March 2016). Most are from developing countries, including Iran, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, China and Afghanistan. The Global Detention Project is a Geneva-based non-government organisation formed in 2014 to investigate the use of immigration detention as a response to global migration. The Development Policy Centre’s Associate Director spoke with its Executive Director, Michael Flynn, shortly before the 14 June 2016 launch of the project’s new website and online database at the UN’S Geneva headquarters. Timed to coincide with a meeting of the Human Rights Council, the launch was based on a case study of Australia and its neighbours. Michael Flynn talks about the origins of the Global Detention Project and its plans for the future, Australia’s immigration detention policies and practices in a global context, and the role of international organisations in connection with immigration detention. Michael Flynn holds a BA in Philosophy from DePaul University in the United States and an MA and PhD in International Studies from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva. He previously worked as a project director at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC; as a project coordinator at the Graduate Institute’s Programme for the Study of Global Migration; and as an associate editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. His research has been supported by the Swiss Network for International Studies, the Geneva International Academic Network, the Pew International Journalism Program, and the Fund for Investigative Journalism.
