Every year PeaceWorks sends out volunteers to partners around the world through a SIDA-financed internship project. Wednesday the 29th, PeaceWork interns stationed in Malawi, Palestine and Moldavia visits UF Stockholm to talk about their experiences and different policy topics. This speakers pub will be held in Swedish.
Welcome!
What determines which humanitarian disasters that will receive help from the outside world? Who is responsible for spreading the information to the general public? Situations that no one knows about and that are scarcely reported will receive less aid. Knowledge and awareness affect both the level of involvement and the will to donate, and through that the countries aid policy.
In order to raise these questions Doctors Without Borders (Sweden) have written the report “Crises that the swedes forgot” that will be presented by Robert Höglund at Café Bojan.
Come hang out, listen to Yemeni Journalist Afrah Nasser and have a couple of beers at Café Bojan – UF Stockholm 2013 premiere event between 4 PM and 1 AM!

Members free, others 20 kr. Membership can be arranged on the spot. The topic will be introduced by Jaber Zain, a son of the prime minister who was overthrown in a military coup in the 70’s. He is nowadays active in uniting support for the Syrian opposition in Sweden. Mr Zain will guide us through a historical overview as well as the difficulties currently facing the country. After having been given a backround to the current situation by Mr Zain’s story, we are excited to welcome you to participate in a debate with Amineh Kakabaveh from the Swedish parliament, and Gabriel Karlsson from the Red Cross. The aim of this seminar is to create an understanding of the issues facing the Syrian civilian population, as well as the responsibilities facing those involved with a country in conflict.
Welcome!
