Abstract

The narrative told in this book deals with the following questions: Why is it that "good" and "just" people, or those who think they are, often vehemently disagree with each other, even to points of hating, vilifying or waging war on one another? Would not a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of human behaviour dynamics lead to the creation of conditions and situations that could build bridges between the opposing parties or otherwise resolve their differences in an amicable and fruitful manner? And if so, what are these mechanisms and processes and how could they best be introduced and made common good? Can there be unity in diversity? And, central to this account, how do we engage young people in this debate? What do we, adults, tell them, what do we expect from them, hope and wish for them? What do they see as their roles in a world that is seemingly becoming increasingly, childish, fragmenting and polarising?Nico van Oudenhoven is co-founder and now a senior associate with International Child Development Initiatives ? ICDI, an NGO based in Leiden, the Netherlands, that works, always with local partners, at the intersection of research, policy, intervention, training and advocacy with the aim to improve the life chances and outcomes of children and young people exposed to toxic environments (see: www.ICDI.nl).Rona Jualla van Oudenhoven is an independent management consultant. She has had a career as a professor and researcher, held senior positions in the Ministries of Public Administration and Social Development, Trinidad and Tobago and at Durham College, Canada. She is a social justice advocate who adopts a rights-based approach to policy and programming initiatives, in particular, those that pertain to vulnerable and marginalized persons.Bron: https://gompel-svacina.com/product/navigating-childish-times-what-roles-for-children-and-young-people-in-a-fragmented-and-polarized-world/

Abstract

This book challenges what the authors see as a privileged narrative entertained by NGOs in the Global North when it comes to their relationship with their counterparts from the Global South. It suggests approaches to jointly generate new knowledge, high quality networks, and valuable reciprocal and validated collaboration. Issues such as ?the Law of Detrimental Effect,? ?Collateral Beauty,? ?the Collective Psychosis and Bureaucrats,? ?Pain as a Catalyst,? ?Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,? and ?Intercultural Communication? are highlighted.https://gompel-svacina.eu/product/no-mask-no-filter/

Abstract

Indicators used in the international development debate on children's wellbeing typically use 'rough-and-ready' measurements such as Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Under-Five Mortality rate (U5MR) for their physical health, and notions such as 'Height-for-Age' and 'Weight-for-Height' for their nutritional status. Indicators that give an impression of the psychosocial wellbeing of young boys and girls are usually lacking. The UPSI-5 provides an urgently needed counterpart to the strictly physical indicators and mortality indicators commonly used to measure young children's wellbeing and survival. It is an easy to use global screening device that can assess the psychosocial wellbeing of large populations of 5-year-children. ICDI designed it to serve three main purposes: to get a more holistic insight into the well-being of young girls and boys in any given population; to track changes over time, and to make comparisons between child populations; to give more prominence to the psychosocial needs and requirements of young children in policy making and programming. UPSI-5 is primarily meant for governmental, non-governmental and UN agencies concerned about the well-being and development of young children, who work with large numbers of them and would benefit from obtaining overall impressions about their psychosocial status. The UPSI-5 is not an instrument to be used for individual diagnostic purposes. It should, therefore, only be interpreted as a first indication that further professional attention may need to be sought.
