Our online events

Online-Event 2024: «Working in Fragile Contexts»

Armed conflicts, climate and environmental problems, conflicts over natural resources, food crises, shrinking civic space, growing inequality and discrimination - these are all features of an increasingly fragile world. How do these enormous challenges affect our programmes and projects abroad? What does HEKS do to be agile and flexible in fragile contexts?  

That's what our online event on 14 November 2024 was all about - watch the video recording here.
