Navigating Childish Times

What roles for children and young people in a fragmented and polarized world?

By: Nico van Oudenhoven,Rona Jualla van Oudenhoven

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?

No Mask, No Filter

A Bold Conversation and Guide for NGOs in the Global South and Global North

By: Nico van Oudenhoven,Rona Jualla van Oudenhoven

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.

Paying it Forward

How it works or perhaps should work

By: Nico van Oudenhoven,Rona Jualla van Oudenhoven

The Neapolitan practice of caffè sospeso or ‘suspended coffee’ enjoys a knockon effect throughout Italy and beyond. Patrons buy two or more cups of coffee, consume only one and leave the remaining for those who cannot afford to pay for the drink. Why would some people do this and make a sacrifice for others whom one does not know and without expecting any rewards? Why forgo personal gains so that others can benefit, even when these others do not yet exist and may belong to generations still to come, thus to Generation Beta, Gamma, …Theta? Indeed, why strive for a kinder future world? Why ‘pay it forward’? With traditional and mainly religious belief systems losing their impact, and more people being ‘trapped in the now’ and not encouraged to ‘delay gratification’, how do they, especially children and young persons, maintain and nurture a sense of connectedness with the past and the future? What role for old and young, and those in the middle? How could they help each other in transforming the world into a more agreeable space to be in, not only for themselves but also for those who come after them? This text deals extensively with these issues. It draws on a wide range of perspectives taken from an abundant supply of research and practice; and includes the observations of a few engaged teenagers. The latter are among the most hopeful we have encountered.
