Reimagining Social Entrepreneurship in the Islamic World

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:35 +0000

Core to our humanity is problem solving and critical thinking. That is how we evolved and survived. This means that each human being is essentially a social entrepreneur, identifying challenges and developing solutions. Civilizations and cultures throughout history have depended on this spirit to enable change and progress. In this session we attempt to use this definition to reimagine social entrepreneurship in the context of the Islamic world. There are 1.7 billion Muslims globally. Muslims are ready to give to reduce poverty, hunger and improve education and health as part of their faith. One of the fundamental tenant of the Muslim faith is Zakat (to give to those in need). We want to reimagine this giving, Zakat, in today’s world in the spirit of social entrepreneurship. In this session we bring experts from across the globe in social entrepreneurship, Islamic religion, INGOs and government as well as private funders and foundations to discuss in depth this innovation approach, the challenges to make it a reality and concrete steps to implantation. The goal is to come up with a road map of actionable items to bring this concept to reality. The impact will enable systems change and drive achieving the SGDs in record time in a sustainable fashion because of the grassroots movement this concept will instigate.

Roadmap to Fighting Hunger

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:21 +0000

The aim of the session is to recognize the serious and often unknown consequences of hunger, and to develop concrete actionable plans to formalize a roadmap to fighting hunger. Hunger is not just about ‘feeling hungry’. It is also about lowered immunity and recurrent infections. Infections such as worm infestation and diarrhea lead to further loss of nutrients in the body. This is a vicious circle. The biggest challenge is micronutrient deficiency. Lack of vitamin A in the diet leads to permanent blindness in 1 million children every year, and 250 million children are at risk. The panelists will focus on the link between SDGs 1,2 and 3, and demonstrate how hunger leads to poverty, sickness, lack of education, and job opportunities, all of which aggravate hunger. Speakers will also present a potential roadmap for next steps – on how different stakeholders can make a difference, and and how one can effectively build partnerships with local grassroots NGOs, donors, government, and policymakers, and mobilize resources to end hunger.

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:16 +0000

PARENT’s Background PARENT stands to build Positive Affective Resolutions for Effective Nurturing Trust. The PARENT Module focuses on the bi-directional Cognitive-Behaviour strategies in Parent-Child interaction and communication. This module addresses parental behaviour focusing on reducing parental stress and behaviours driven by emotions of fear and anxiety, and increasing parental satisfaction. PARENT is a community-based program that targets immigrants/ new-comers and refugees to be more individual-and-family-mental health-informed focusing on actual psychological growth in post-immigration while meeting expectations of cross-cultural family dynamics and family relationships. PARENT Module’s Objectives ü Improving mental health: Support community members who are vulnerable to develop mental health problems to stay well. Empowering choice: Empower people who experience a mental health problem to make informed choices about how they live and recover. ü Improving services and support: Ensure that community members have access to the right services and support at the right time to aid their recovery and enable them to live with their mental health problems. ü Enabling social participation: Create a safe space for community members with experience of mental health problems to participate fully in their society. Our intervention creates change makers by recruiting and training adults from local communities to provide inclusive and equitable quality of psycho-social education for low-income families along with promoting long-term effective learning opportunities for all. ü Achieving gender equality and empowerment of women and girls in cross-cultural agglomerations by emphasizing roles and responsibilities of family members, promoting paternal involvement.

Healing Systems

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:16 +0000

What do we learn when we integrate the perspectives of trauma and systems change? Though the origins may vary widely, trauma is a universal part of the human experience. If systems are made up of people and if people experience trauma, then by extension the systems they are a part of carry trauma as well. This session will explore how trauma shows up as a force to be reckoned with in the systems we are working to shift towards equity and justice and examine collective healing practices to consider in your work. * How can a common language and safe spaces for conversations on trauma and healing add a missing lens to the mainstream discourse about social and environmental problem solving? * Why does healing relationships hold the key to integrating trauma and changing systems? * What do we gain by bringing a trauma-informed lens from the periphery to the mainstream?

Let’s Talk Disability: Raising voices from the ground

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:12 +0000

Topics explored: understanding disability through the social model lens; listening to voices from communities; how people with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities from rural and underserviced areas are bringing quality data, and advocacy to the national and global conversation while breaking down barriers in their own community. Main takeaways for participants: 1) Exposure to the “Let’s Talk Disability” methodology: to raise awareness and stimulate conversation about the social model of disability, inclusion, and the rights of people with disabilities. Explore preconceived ideas about disability, and become able to recognise elements in our own behaviour that hinder inclusion. 2) Learn about the Parent Network approach and the ShonaquipSE Human Rights Monitoring Tools that are enabling people with disabilities and parents to participate in policy discussions in a new way. 3) Engage with materials and facilitators to give input to these systems change methodologies and discuss ways to network and intensify the collective effort towards inclusion by 2030.
