FLAGSHIP PROGRAMMES
We are pleased to share an upcoming event organized by OpEn, in collaboration with GRASP, Roskilde Festival, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that will address critical issues in humanitarian aid and public engagement. On November 28, 2024, the OpEn X GRASP Pop Up event will dive into the complex dynamics of how citizens can engage with humanitarian efforts during times of war and conflict.
The panel will explore the balance between the spontaneous willingness of citizens to help and the experience of NGOs in providing effective aid. Key questions such as "How can we harness public engagement as a strength in humanitarian efforts?" will be discussed, along with the challenges faced by small or grassroots organizations stepping in to provide emergency relief in conflict zones.
The panel will feature experts including:
- Anders Ladekarl, General Secretary, Landsforeningen for Økosamfund
- Camilla Nielsen-Englyst, Project Coordinator, Røde Kors
- Rasmus Jeppesen, District Consultant, KFUM og KFUK i Danmark
- Carl Emil Petersen, Musician (Ulige Numre), who will also perform
The event will be moderated by Sven Johannesen, Editor-in-Chief of Globalnyt.
